Music by: Sick the Fiddle Killer
Lyrics by: Sick the Fiddle Killer
Meter / Style: Second Line
Story: Goblins, trolls, and the like are more
real than most people care to admit. True story about Doktor Sick's
adventures in New Orleans as he woke up under a bridge and realised
all this.
Lyrics:
Bats at the bottom of a bottomed out bridge hear the echoes off their
insect feast
and the bugs keep a'buzzin' though they’re hunted by the dozen
cuz to bugs everybody's a beast
the flood is floodin higher makin mud beneath the fire where the food
is always rancid or stale
and i remember where i'm from but i'm forgettin who i was before i wound
up tellin this tale
I’ve Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
I’ve Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
there's a troll collecting tolls at the goddamned dam
damning passerbys who buy by the pound
his skinny skin is like leather weathered by the wet weather
whether sleepin on the roof or the ground
with the children in rags, splittin diseases and drags
blendin in with the filth they create
we're all feeble in hope, so pass the needle and rope
the days are numbered as we slumber on slate, cuz we’ve
Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
I’ve Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
and it feels unnatural to pay for sleep
to pay for anything i don't intend to keep
there's blood on the button of my button down shirt
and the sun is so brite i can't think
i remember the sauce behind the memory loss
somebody dropped a drop in my drink
you know the locomotive's motives are to haul and deliver
while i shiver underneath it's tracks
i'm with the spiders and snakes of all sizes and shapes
and i can't seem to find my way back, and I’ve
Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
I’ve Gone where the Gobbelins Go, Gone where the Gobbelins Go,
Gone Where the Gobbelins Go, BELOW BELOW BELOW
