lyrics

on the night, on the night
that i learned my body died
and the coroner's form, he wrote down suicide
and the portal appeared, but i did not go for fear
that my vengeance would be undone

mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will finally be at peace

on the night, on the night
i came home to find my wife
in bed with a man well i tried to take his life
but he put up a fight and held me down so tight
and put a shotgun to my teeth

oh mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will finally be at peace

i was an honest man
a presbyterian
and my wife, my wife she was a cheat
and deputy was there and the sheriff he don't care
and i will never be at peace

when your portal appears
just go, don't linger here
where i've been wandering all these years
for vengeance is sweet
but it's always incomplete
and i will never be at peace

mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will never be at peace
and i will never be at peace
and i will never be at peace

That's That And The What's What
by That's That And The What's What

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
