I stay up after the kids are finally down
And my wife is deep asleep
Sit in the dark
Put a record on
It’s the only time I’m free
Alone with bourbon and my thoughts
Or joined by the ghosts of friends I’ve lost
Wandering the halls of memory…

Everything is a minimal gray
Here in Pelican Bay
There is no escape
Here in Pelican Bay
This house is full of people I never get to see
Been living here for years
They still don’t know me
Just waiting out my days
Here in Pelican Bay…

(One day he just didn't pick up the guitar. Too tired after work, or uninspired. He turned on the TV. A year passed. The strings went rusty and black. He looked over at it, leaning in the stand. Did he even remember how any of the songs went?)

She said most of the stars up there
Have been dead for a billion years
And all that light and heat
Dissipated unseen
Isn’t that the most perfect thing?
Dead stars...
She said all those stars you see
Have been dead for an eternity

Lost in the angles and the tangle of the streets
Chasing hits and stealing bits and paying for our dreams
Spent our nights going deaf and going too far
Burning up days in a California noir
We were just
Broke kids
Trying to get fixed

I was out walking
Walking in the city one day
I heard the wind calling
Calling my name
Under the hot August sun
I went wandering west
With my boots and my gun
and a guitar across my chest
Come a ti yi yippee yi yay!
Come a ti yi yippee…

Blue the light that shines on me
Watching you on the screen
Blue your eyes and blue the scenes
Replay, rewind, recurring dream
Blue the nights I sit at home
Scanning, surfing all alone
Blue the color of the bruise
Thinking of my time with you…

Overnight
the world went fake
Everything has been replaced
With pale imitations
Gray reflections
The food has no taste
Surrounded by automatons
Programmed not to see what's going on
Cheap props and flimsy sets
A tired plot and bad effects…

I pinch myself but I don't wake up
I cut myself but I still feel numb
The drugs
The drinks
It's later than you think
I starve myself but the weight won't lift
I beat myself up and I can't stop it
Then you appear
Tell me what I need to…

Lazy day in Vegas
She just appeared
So elegant, intelligent
Grinning from ear to ear
She had that killer style
Looks that turn your eye
I liked the way she rolled
When I asked her what her name was
She said “Tumbleweed,

First pass at making a simple subtractive bass sound on Prophet 12.
First up, single sawtooth oscillator. "Slop" is set around 25, 4-pole filter with a touch of resonance. After the arpeggiator is started, I add some "Girth", and some sub-oscillator…

Such pathos. We could collect all the Ghost Town songs on Alonetone and have a very interesting album.

The exception is the rule and there's no doubt

Every Monday in a clean white shirt
Greeting strangers with a smile
Believing things are for the best
Not stressing about the rest
Searching for some kind of grace
To wipe the scowl from my face
Waiting for the day

Telecaster?
We’re closed now
Keep off
My land
The plains turn to sand
That’s what the wire said
I hear trains coming
Smoke in the sky
Lines in the sand
That’s what the wire said
Ghosts of voices
Chant numbers and code
Steel lines in the sand…
