  • The Ballad Of The Undercrust Vinyl Pre Order
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    one Vinyl of The Ballad Of The Undercrust! We need to get 100 pre orders before we make em so we can afford to print em because running a huge brass band is expensive and we don't get paid a lot of play gigs! Sliding scale $10-$20 bucks (additional money will be used to make up for income that bandcamp eats)

    due to the time orders are being placed (and this is a somewhat last minute decision) we will unfourtunatly not be able to mail these out till after our tour!

    *when the music comes out online we will email you a free download link if you pre order this vinyl!

    * actual album art May differ!

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Ballad Of The Undercrust via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

(C)
I made a wish upon a pond
(G)
in southern california
(C)
a ghost popped out and then he said
(G)
Hey boy I gotta warn you
(A)
this pond aint made for fishing
(F)
its only made for wishing!
(G) (A)
so make your wish if you catch my drift
(B) (D)
because I am coming towards you!
(C)
And so I stopped to think my thoughts
(G)
if only for a minute
(C)
the whole damn lake mellowed out
(G)
and you could hear a cricket
(A)
I thought about my pain inside
(F)
and how it felt so blank
so I wished to return to
before my heart sank

AND THE GHOST SAID

(C)
You are not broken
(G)
and you cannot break
(F)
these are not the sounds
(D) (G)
that dead and dying people make
(C)
your not in a car crash
(G)
you didn't lose your legs
(F)
I know having your heart broken
(D) (G)
leaves you feeling kinda lame
(D) (C)
but your not, just in case you forgot
(G) (F) (C)
and you aught to know!

and so the ghost crossed his arms
in woeful disposition
he told me I had to change my
dissapointing disposition
and so i thought about my life
and how i got so forlorn
and so i wished my life return
to before I was born!

and now the ghost looked at me
and my mere mortal woes
he took me by my shoulders
and kissed me in my soul
now he was prince
no longer just a ghoul
and so he said, try your heart again
because you never know
