2. THOSE LOCUST YEARS words/music: bill mallonee

Well, the locust years
they're making the rounds
And the locust years
arecoming to your town
they don't ask an invite
they just roll on it
locust years
living under your skin

locust years
always nipping at your heels
locust years
they don't care what they steals
like weeds taking root
like darkness settlin' in
locust years
living under your skin

well, there's no one to shoot
and what good would it do?
when there's no one to blame
...and nothing left to lose?

locust years
there's no words on his tongue
he grins as he passes
from his horse made of bones
like a bird of prey
picking you clean
locust years
living under your skin
