about

recorded on my cell phone as i was writing the song. it's based on an old family story.

lyrics

On the night, on the night that I learned my body died
On the coroners form, he wrote down suicide
And the portal appeared, but I did not go for fear
that my vengeance would be undone

Oh, Mr Policeman help a deceased man
Find my killer he's at large
and throw in jail, or just send him straight to hell
and I will finally be at peace

On the night I arrived 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 in my teeth

Oh, Mr Policeman help a deceased man
Find my killer he's at large
and throw in jail, or just 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
it was the 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
for i've been wandering all these years
and vengeance is sweet, but always incomplete
and i will never be at peace

Oh, Mr Policeman help a deceased man
Find my killer he's at large
and throw in jail, or just send him straight to hell
but i know i'll never be at peace
but i know i'll never be at peace

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

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
