	"That has to be one of the best songs I've heard this year, in and out of the studio, released and unreleased." --Anselm *** Gravel parking lot-- moths in streetlights-- stink of stale beer, cheap perfume, plastic cups used as ashtrays-- noise of random rambling voices-- and morning breaks like a heart of stone some time around 2 AM-- *** "Classic Rock at its best. This is totally awesome. Great work. Loved the lyrics, and the guitar was cool. Very well produced." QOL *** "...let us also remember Iggy Pop...this could have fit on Cold Metal without the shoehorn...fine work and fitting as well." ~B~

	Story Behind the Song Seems to capture the flavor of being "house band" in a college bar, breaking down at closing time-- "You don't have to go home. but you can't stay here..." I want to dedicate this track to John Cale, for his essential and inspiring albums FEAR and SLOW DAZZLE. SG Lyrics Downhearted Reach for a bottle of beer Cold and wet in your hand Morning has broken Like a heart of stone Got to find an answer here Got to find a way to shake This fear... and dread Night ends in fascination With the bones of yesterday I know your lusts and vices Like I'm trapped inside your skin It's all a ghost's illusion Blue fog and smokey dreams And when it's over It's all a waste... take it away... Your obsessions Your confessions I'm so singularly impressed With your rapid, shallow Breathing and the Heaving of your breast Just a fraction of the action Is experience intense But a million conversations Lead to just one consequence You're so glamorous So amorous, so frivolous and Vain, I can understand the Message,,, It's driving you insane I feel the same tonight Downhearted You make me realize My smooth guise Is all lies I'm downhearted Take it away Get out of my face Come into my parlor Said the spider to the fly Wrap your arms around me In one long last lullaby I am driven to distraction By the thoughts I bear in mind I could live somebody else's life And leave this world behind It's all I can see So let go with me And I'll... I'm downhearted Take it away I'm downhearted Why don't you Take it away I'm downhearted Downhearted Downhearted Get out of my face (c) 2003 by Dark Ryders
