lyrics

Bruce Springsteen is walking on the moon.
I hope I get where I'm going real soon,
That old friend smoke greets me before noon.
Lay my head back down as the clouds settle in,
Bruce Springsteen is walking on the moon.

The president king uses poison very well.
I hope I get outta here before hell,
The old wise joker tries to tell
but no one can listen for the smell.
The president king uses poison very well.

There's a hole in your heart that you just can't fill.
Try to fill it up with tissues and all that fizzy swill,
try to forget it, try to bend your will.
There's a hole in your heart that you just can't fill.

Rambling around sure might do for now.
Get away from all the pictures that bring memories to your mind,
searching for the clouds that never frown,
rambling around sure might do for now.

Bruce Springsteen is walking on the moon.
I hope I get where I'm going real soon,
That old friend smoke greets me before noon.
Lay my head back down as the clouds settle in,
Bruce Springsteen is walking on the moon.

Magpie Thief Greensboro, North Carolina

Emily Stewart and Matty Sheets have been playing together for years, in this project they strip down their songs for a road worthy acoustic duo. Folk music with heart and street smarts.
