Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra - Left For The Wolves
Whisper through the megaphone,
tip-toe with a strut,
You got a heart that howls like hunger,
hunger burning in a rich man's gut
Ya that's a real funny way,
of trying to avoid my attention,
you can hear them all howl for miles,
howl in all four directions
Stop leaving me out for the wolves,
got to stop leaving me out for the wolves
Stop leaving me out for the wolves,
gonna see them just foaming at the mouth
three up in the hills, and one inside of the house...
Come a little bit closer now,
every time that i leave the house,
a big albino elephant
that thinks that he's a mouse..
Wear your heart out on your sleeve,
if that's what you need, son.
I used to be a beast so,
I know when i see one...
Stop leaving me out for the wolves,
got to stop leaving me out for the wolves
Stop leaving me out for the wolves,
gonna see them just foaming at the mouth
three up in the hills, and one inside of the house...

More raw and compelling than his next album, Dark Was The Yearling. Gothic Americana with a touch of gospel. Fans of Sixteen Horsepower will enjoy this. Lute FP
