lyrics

Two shots of gin, I'm all lit up
I guess I'll never know
When enough is enough

Cold sweats on a dark street
A foreign city, a frozen night
Think about mom, think about dad
Well, I think I'm alright
But the devil-ache of loneliness
Seldom leaves the bones of the angry
Leave me alone

Thought I was a walking picture
Beginning to happen
Then I found myself stuck somewhere
Between desperate and drastic
And the devil-ache of loneliness
Seldom leaves the bones of the angry
Leave me alone
BUT DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE

O'Farrell and Hyde
O'Farrell and Jones
O'Farrell and I feel the whole of my life
Come pounding in my bones
Then late that night in the last available diner
Entrusted conversation with a strange gay man
He promptly stole my lighter

Two shots of gin, I'm all lit up
I guess I'll never know
When enough is enough

But, is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
And the devil-ache of loneliness
Seldom leaves the bones of the angry
Leave me alone
BUT DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE
But don't leave me alone

But, is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?

about

Myself a Living Torch San Francisco, California

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name. ... more
