Story Behind the Song
This song was recorded for the Hot Wired 3D CD but is a part of The Saga Of The Black Silk JetMen. Boy Of Dust fights for freedom against the Totalitarian forces of The Black Silk JetMen. He says, "I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I still remember what it means to be free!"
Lyrics
Boy of Dust
On the edge of town
JetMen checking papers, yeah all around.
No sound but the dawn,
Death squad on the lawn,
Keep the curtains drawn,
Pass a cigarette along.
Boy of Dust
Just a shadow on the street,
He has no numbers
He must be so discreet.
He takes a sip of Jack,
Grabs an Ouzi off the rack,
And settles in with Rita
To wait for the attack.
Boy of Dust
In a bin of broken words
Going over all the stories he has heard.
If someone asks
For his papers one more time.
He's pretty sure
That someones going to die.
chorus
He says,
"I don't know, hey maybe it's just me,but
I still remember what it means to be free."
Boy of Dust, Freedom Lust.
Boy of Dust, Freedom Rust.
verse
Boy of Dust
Stranger in his own land,
JetMen stealing everything that they can.
Boy of Dust
On the edge of town
JetMen checking papers, yeah all around.
No sound but the dawn,
Death squad on the lawn,
Keep the curtains drawn,
Pass a cigarette along.
Boy of Dust
Just a shadow on the street,
He has no numbers
He must be so discreet.
He takes a sip of Jack,
Grabs an Ouzi off the rack,
And settles in with Rita
To wait for the attack.
Boy of Dust
In a bin of broken words
Going over all the stories he has heard.
If someone asks
For his papers one more time.
He's pretty sure
That someones going to die.
chorus
He says,
"I don't know, hey maybe it's just me,but
I still remember what it means to be free."
Boy of Dust, Freedom Lust.
Boy of Dust, Freedom Rust.
That's it. Just like that!
