Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Sept. 12, 2011]

I make no progress in the desert that I wander in
Yonder in the pit of years
Squandering my strings and cheers

I have no luck apart from the shame that I have treasured
It measured me unfit for it
It pleasured me just bit by bit

I work no normal seam in earth that I'm mining
I'm finding my own gold
I'm winding up my hold

I use no fire to burn the fields that I'm coming to
Thumbing through the manual
Bumming a ride and a micro granule

And as the sunset hits the sand
And as the river hits the dam (yeah)
And as the woman hits the man (yeah)
That's when the problem hits the plan
Yes, and the shit hits the fan
