DON’T GO LIVING among the dead
put such foolishness out of your head
there’s many a room with a bed
where the living folks haven’t all fled
and there’s no sense of doom or of dread
Don’t sleep with those who never wake up
and don’t drink from Socrates’ cup
No not even a sip
lest you cower and stumble and trip
and lie bleeding from your lower lip
Don’t try living with those who are not
for although it’s a comfortable spot
Someone else bought and paid for that plot
There are qualities that you have got
Your neighbors also had ought to have
Don’t ask favors of those who are dead
Don’t try to make gold from their lead
Or think that a big marble shed
could somehow turn stone into bread
Or tell you what hasn’t been said

I'm on it doing backup vocals, and it's a great album. It's folk, it's rock, it's all over the place. It's good, and you'll like it. Seriously. Anthony Moser
