Reverend William Buckland Lyrics
I spent a holiday alone in the dark,
Trying to read the news,
And I caught my shadow speaking old African languages again.
Went to a party at the funeral home,
Out on the city limits,
Me and the skeletons were hanging around the back too tired to dance.
And I thought the railroad was an old time machine,
And I got on and wished real hard,
And me and John we spent the day trapped at the bottom of a glass.
I was reduced to a repeating line of code,
Numbers in a computer,
And I followed circuits to the main frame and eventually got lost.
Guess I am not cut out to be, a program,
Guess I am not cut out to be, a gunman,
Guess I am not cut out to be, six feet under ground,
Guess I am not cut out to be, anything at all.
Anything at all.
Trying to read the news,
And I caught my shadow speaking old African languages again.
Out on the city limits,
Me and the skeletons were hanging around the back too tired to dance.
And I got on and wished real hard,
And me and John we spent the day trapped at the bottom of a glass.
Numbers in a computer,
And I followed circuits to the main frame and eventually got lost.
Guess I am not cut out to be, a gunman,
Guess I am not cut out to be, six feet under ground,
Guess I am not cut out to be, anything at all.
Anything at all.

I spent a holiday alone in the dark, Trying to read the tea leaves And I caught my shadow speaking old African languages again
Went to a party at the funeral home, Out on the city limits Me and the skeletons were hanging 'round the back too tired to dance
And I thought the railroad was an old time-machine, And I got on and wished real hard And me and John Wayne spent the day trapped at the bottom of a glass
I was reduced to a repeating line of code, Numbers in a computer And I followed circuits through the mainframe and eventually got lost
Guess I am not cut out to be a program Guess I am not cut out to be a gunman Guess I am not cut out to be six feet under ground Guess I am not cut out to be anything at all Anything at all
