♫They Also Hunt Who Only Shoot and Miss♫

This would, in another time, appear nonsensical, however... this song can't hold a candle to the nonsensical nature of these times. Up is definitely down, and back is assuredly forth now.

Lyrics=

I've been there so long it looks like here to me

I've been inside out and back and forth, you see

I've been all around the town

Screwing myself into the ground over you

I've been down to where it looks like up to me

I've been now and then, and sometimes I've been free

I've been in a thousand wars

Killing myself for truth

I found that pie in the sky, and I had a piece

I've been day and night till death has scratched my back

I've been checked and mated on the white and black

I've been under and overrun

And worshiped like the sun

And slept with nearly everyone in town

I've been down the roads, I've seen you walking back

And counted coup like a banker's heart attack

I've been waiting in the rain

I got mugged on Lover's Lane

And I held my hand out to cup the morning dew

And just cause you can't see it

Doesn't mean it isn't there

And just because you can, don't mean it is

The moral of this story is a timeless allegory

They also hunt who only shoot and miss

You know, there is a price for being free

It's hard as Hell to do it naturally

Walk a mile in those shoes

And sing that blind man's blues

And teach the wind another way to blow

I've been fronted time behind the clocks of fools

And broken laws when outlaws made the rules

I've come from behind to lose

If I had to pick and choose

I would lay my love like a rose on the grave of your mind

I've been singing songs, but no one sings along

I do what's right, but sometimes it goes wrong

I'll catch you by the sea

In a place called memory

And maybe it will work out after all

And just cause you can't see it

Doesn't mean it isn't there

And just because you can, don't mean it is

The moral of this story is a timeless allegory

They also hunt who only shoot and miss

I was out of luck till I tried it on for size

It fit real good while I was still alive

And after that, it's just the way it goes

I'll catch you by the sea, in a place called memory

And after this, well, baby... no one knows
