Spock's Beard - East Of Eden, West Of Memphis lyrics

Once a lost soul raced his shadow Down a dark road out of town Tried to leave himself behind him EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS Like a dagger through the heartland Over gravel dust and gla** Storm-dark clouds and neon halos EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS This is how the story goes Took a miracle to make him go Stopped at midnight miles from nowhere Got out dropped down on his knees In the dirt he wrote her name out EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS Home was just a broken promise No good reason to turn back AM stations drift to static EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS The greatest story never told Took a miracle to make him go In a house there hangs a picture on the wall Of them in better days before the bitter fall Before a quiet man slipped out into the night A disillusioned man walked out without a fight SIHPMEM FO TSEW NEDE FO TSAE
