about

Drop that dead weight and hop on the Blackgrass Express with The Phantom Sensation!

lyrics

High, it seems
as we sat atop washing machines
and the echoes of the train
flowed through the dead trees.
As you sang words to me
ya couldnt carry a tune
but definitely held a meaning
all through the woods
and down by the black sea...

said you were afraid
of being alone
and love had nothing to do with it.

As we crash upon the rocks
into a stream that leads us anywhere but home
we must drop the dead weight
ya dont need yer heart and soul

As we're swallowed by the Earth
into a hell that leaves us anything but whole
we must learn to drop the BS
and carry on

So, I'm singin
Oh, ya gotta learn to carry on

well, finally, had dawned on me
that all my best friends were al **** up on drugs
yea, they're all just shells of the people I still love

I'm singin
Oh, ya gotta learn to carry on!
