Cowboy
The Rumble Strips

I gave up my love
And I gave up cigarettes
Now I've got my health
But I've got regrets
Walking all around, breathing easily
There ain't one single thing left in this town that's pleasing me

Staring in the water
I wonder where you are now
Remember when I held you
Down by this canal
You looked into my eyes, I understood you well
You opened up my mind and you filled it up with hell

Oh! And your eyes, they're not like the ones I knew
Lord knows I tried, but they don't cry like others do
But I thought I knew a thing or two
But that book that I flicked through
It seems like it was writ' by you
Oh shit!

I've been drinking on my own again, drinking to my health
I've been thinking on my own again, thinking for myself
And I walked 'round to your house, and I rang your front doorbell
Well I had my fit of breathing, honey
Take me back to hell

i've also updated the 'about' section of my site with 8 new 200x40 banners for linking, if you're so inclined!

	Love the pic, love the song, love the strategically shadowed zombie parts. The concept for this is just as beautiful as the art itself. In other words... flail YAY ZOMBIE JASON!!! :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I like how you're playing w different textures here. The little meticulous shading in midtone areas really suit you very well, and it integrated pretty seamlessly~ With so much detail it's really easy for it to be weight down, but the colors really work well in keeping it fresh~ OMG I'M SORRY IF I SOUND SNOOTY I JUST GOT OUT OF A DRAWING CRITIQUE.

	head is explodified Jayzus, I am so glad I gave you that song! This Jason is so creepy and haunting and pretty and did I mention I was brimming with diabolical joy? I need to send you more music. Clearly. That is the moral of this story. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	julia_goolia 2008-05-15 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	i love your drawings. this is haunting and a little bit arousing (hmm, can/should i use that word when referring to zombie rebirth?) at the same time. i'm so behind on your 'oeuvre' but how do i get plugged into the stor(ies)y that go along with your drawings? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You make crazy zombie boys so pretty. pets The background is especially mesmerizing. (if you're still on a quest for music, one of my friends lent me a Ludo CD, and oh my. "Girls On Trampolines" makes me think very much of Kon ~~along with every teenage boy ever~~, and has the bonus side effect of making me dance stupidly.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	So haunting ... and creepy, in a hot way. The murky shadows, the swirling darkness in the background, the bones in his arms, the hollow look in his eyes--they really make this picture. And that is yet another awesome song. :D (Reply to this)(Thread)
