lyrics

The cat and his cane have somehow avoided the dust.
And when they say his name, you can be sure that they will discuss.
"They say he's a former soldier, and a cannon took the way that he walked."
"I heard he made a fortune when Union Oil pipe lined the west coast in 1910."

Sometimes I forget why I made the choices that left me alone.
And when I hear the stories they tell they make me wish that they were all true.
A grain of salt comes through.
And if I go back I don't know if I could even find the words,
to tell you that I know now I was the one who made it worse.
And now I don't have a country. I don't have a hope.
No more I shall roam.

The cat and his cane now rest at the back of the lot.
It's such a modest, unmarked grave becomes the monument that history forgot.
They will never say
They will never say his name.
