    This song just missed the cut for "Teenage Folklore". A hard rock blend of analog synthesizer, spooky slide, and guitars, guitars, guitars.
    CD: unreleased   Label: unreleased
    Credits: written by Brian Andrew Marek and Andrew Alleman, recorded live at the Lot Festival on July 15th, 2000

    Story Behind the Song
    The last few hours in the life of an American legend. A fictionalized account inspired by one of Andrew's old bandmates.

    Lyrics
    "drive the man in the wide-brimmed hat
    his engine's blown and his tires are flat
    we found him face down in a scandal
    his habit's hard, but it's agreed
    you can't deny him what he needs
    God gives you nothing you can't handle"

    now I'm sailing away in my own universe
    cast adrift in Mr. William's hearse

    I opened the door to greet the star
    he stumbled inside with his guitar
    and promptly passed out in his madness
    in the rear view mirror, a vacant face
    an engine's roar in quiet space
    the radio played tales of sadness

    maybe he's tired of this endless road
    maybe his shoulders can't carry the load
    maybe it's meant to be this way
    maybe it's me who's got nothing to say

    all night long he sat in back
    of that long, black Cadillac
    and not a single word was spoken
    somewhere on that lonely ride
    the singer found the other side
    and still the silence was unbroken
