THE TRICKSTER

Released:
September 1994
Length: 4:37
Disc: My Iron Lung EP | My Iron Lung single CD1 & Canadian/Netherlands
Tablature: Guitar | Bass

An inspiring song for all budding guitarists. Its instrumentation, as much as its vocals, make it such a fan favorite. Like many other tunes from the My Iron Lung EP, The Trickster has only been played live on a few occasions, which is unfortunate. (Thom says that he can't remember the lyrics). It's a shame, really. This is one of the better heavy guitar tracks. Very catchy. Surely Thom can read the lyrics from a website? :D

Lost in the mountains
Rust in the brain
The air is sacred here, in spite of your claim

Up on the rooftops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak

He's talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway

I wanted you so bad, that I couldn't say
All these things fall apart

We wanted out so bad, and we couldn't say
Incase things fall apart

We're talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway

Truant kids
A can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from
Their chestnut tree

Long white gloves
Police tread carefully
Escaped from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile is
Talking out the world
Talking out the world
He ~ y (hey, hey, hey)
He ~ y (hey, hey, hey)
