solo acoustic/1 track demo from WPA Vol.9 "DRIFTER SONGS"

lyrics

TELL IT SLANT words/music: bill mallonee

Who knows how you got here?
And who knew what you’d find
who knows the stars and planets aligned...
Kings were out to kill you
Politicians just the same
funny how not that much has changed

chorus:
yeah, I love the way you made those words
come alive and dance
and I love it...when you tell it slant

You, stare down all the wardogs
and the lives with which they play
time to clean house, baby...wipe that smile off their face
stare down all the money...you weren’t the least impressed
stare it down from the back ally to the halls of Congress

Tell it with unblinking eye...tell it one hundred proof
just a glance and a wink, at that bottle of vermouth
double shot and chilled...you know how love gets outta hand
you know how some folks can relate...to a thirsty man
