This song is meaning the world to me at the moment.
It's by an amazing little band by the name of The Ackleys(played a show with them Friday)
Anywho...
love this.
"Lon Chaney"
you are a man of many faces/ come from many places/and you spread the word
now you have nothing really to say/ about as cliche/ as a pretty face without a voice behind it/ and you have high expectations
there’s no way to save it when there’s nothing left/ he wants conversation and she wants sex/ there’s nothing to hide, so there’s nothing to protect
just because he doesn’t want ya doesn’t mean he doesn’t love ya/ he’ll go out and find himself in California/ and mingle among the regular people he never knew
never talked to
never ate with
certainly never slept with
hold that thought babe, cuz I like the way you’re thinking/ you just run away when the people that you love grow old/ if you hide your face then/ no one cares enough to/ shed a tear when you pack up your things and go home.
why would you save it when there’s nothing left/ and there’s so much confrontation, there’s no time for sex/ and you gave up hiding it so there’s nothing to protect
And he said he doesn’t want ya, so I guess he doesn’t love ya/ and while he’s out finding himself in California/ you’ll settle down again, find a man who doesn’t like the thought
And he’s mingling/ and he’s holding hands/ and he’s starting over/ and he’s making plans with a fresh young face everyday
and he’s better/ and he’s a brand new man/ and he’s doing something/ and he’s taking a stand/ cuz he left that life behind and found his truth/ he found his calling yeah..
and it’s worth it/ cuz he’s trying hard/ and he forgot about her/ and he’s about to start/ and he knows exactly what to say.
he doesn’t hear what you’re saying
he doesn’t know anything
he is a man of many faces
and he’s exactly as he seems
