Rusty Strings Lyrics by Rusty Things

Wading Through the Waste

2013

[Verse]
The holy ghost of an unknown vagabond
Cold and saddened from his own day
Goes town to town singing his song all around
No one'll listen now so they say

[Chorus]
The rest of the world's ears bleed from electric drums
And their eyes go blind from the shine of the riches
Worn by the famous ones

[Verse]
Well the old time soul of an unknown vagabond
Won't abandon a sound so pure
The times have changed pretty faces all the rage
We'll still find a way back for sure

[Chorus]
While the rest of the world's ears bleed from electric drums
And their eyes go blind from the shine of the riches
Worn by the famous ones
Stick around for a sound so true to sing out loud
As we callus every finger down
To the bone with rusty strings

[Verse]
Well the holy ghost of an unknown vagabond
Cold and saddened from his own day
Goes town to town singing his song all around
No one'll listen now so they say

[Chorus]
While the rest of the world's ears bleed from electric drums
And their eyes go blind from the shine of the riches
Worn by the famous ones
Stick around for a sound so true to sing out loud
As we callus every finger down
To the bone with rusty strings
