Lyrics: Luke Doucet. Blood's Too Rich. First Day (In The New Hometown).


First day in the new hometown.
Walk these dusty streets in search of...
Bluejays in a southern sky
Makes me thirsty, let's get started now.
I wonder if they know?
I wonder if it shows up on my face?
First day in this unfamiliar place.

Let's go see if Grimey's home,
Hey mister can you spare a rock show?
Just something with a little grit, a few legends and a beat to move to.
I wonder if they know?
I wonder if the north wind is in my clothes,
First day in this dixie tenement.

Can't sleep when the night's still on.
Someone somewhere needs a barfly.
Me, I've got no more fight.
Straight into the silk of my own web.
I wonder does it grow?
I wonder does the monkey ever know?
First day you can say you told me so
