lyrics

Shaggy Head

Hey now Shaggy Head
Hey now Shaggy Head

Hey now Shaggy Head, pass that bottle 'round.
Take another hit as it comes around.
It's been a while now living hand to mouth

Hey now Shaggy Head. Turn off that TV set.
Open the window and toss it on out.
It's been awhile now, listening to that sound.

And as the morning light walks through the window
let's be silent for awhile.
Let's be silent for awhile.

I remember vividly the moment that we met.
A memory is like a dream and then again...
What's it mean - well that depends -
I'm gonna miss you when I go,
I'm gonna miss you when I go,
I'm gonna miss you when I go,
when I go, when I go, when I go
back to Ontario.

It's the duty of gravity to pull heavanly bodies together.
It's a task it performs without fail, ever.
We can exercise our will and act in any way we wish whatsoever
but we can't control how we'll feel when the action is over.

They say there's two miles of ditch for every mile of road
and you can't watch your feet when you walk or you'll stumble and fall.
You can buy a ticket to any destination
and you'll find yourself staring back at yourself
from the bathroom mirror of the bus station,

Anyway I'm leaving. I came for a week and stayed five years
and everybody's been asking me 'round here for some kind of explanation.
I try to think of reasons and I offer excuses,
guess every cell in my body is yearning for movement.

And as the morning light walks through the window
let's be silent for awhile.
Let's be silent for awhile,
for awhile.
Let's be silent for awhile.
