jeff mcgregor helped me finish off the lyrics on this one too.
it was very helpful in that i had most of it in scattered notebooks and wasn’t sure if i had confidence in them.
he helped structure it and threw in some good lines. a hearty thank you.

 

Lyrics

here’s the face of trouble
it’s the face i wear
and it may invite you in
but i won’t go there

here’s a working model
that generates despair
and this baby cranks it out
and it will take you out
and i won’t care

it’s a beauty

it’s the mark of someone
who’s beyond repair
he’ll refuse to help himself
thinking only of himself
and though he isn’t by himself
well it’s your job now

there’s a conversation
we’re about to have
and it’s full of twists and turns
half truths and vague concerns
from one who never learns
to one who never learns
and i never learn

here’s the face of trouble
