Just "filler material" lol... https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14684474I met an old man on a well traveled road who asked me where I'm from His well mannered tone and mischievous grin Didn’t suit the crook in his back With an old gnarled hand and a crooked wood cane he beckoned me to follow him further I stiffened my knees and politely agreed But knew I was on the wrong track He said "welcome my friend, this street has no end And I know every crack and dark corner Every pleasure is yours and you can be sure there's no reason to be wary I make the contacts and seal every deal I'm the man behind the scenes Just free your soul and name your desire that is the burden I carry" "You're in the right place, the right time and space don't fear, but stay close to me Just bask in the glory, there’s no need to worry I certainly keep my promise Once your dues are spent there’s no fine print everyone will know your name Don't doubt my intent, I will not relent I trade fame for solace" I said I'm from a place with much different tastes lacking such awe and splendor The lights and the sound all spun me around for a moment, I was lost in wonder But with each step I took and direction I looked I noticed something peculiar Each door ahead and each door we passed I couldn't tell one from the other He said “Consider those who beg on their knees Do you think they'll make it any further? Their pride is unique but no one can hear and their voices strain without rest The doubt on your face is sorely misplaced I can make your dreams come true Put your pride to test, or follow the best and let fate measure success" All doors were busy and patrons were dizzy with delight and expectation Every lust without shame, every sign the same “Come and get your treasure" They wore the same clothes and strutted so proudly with all the same approving eyes All the same smiles sang the same songs cheering these proprietors of pleasure As I turned away I heard the man say "It's the way of the world my friend They own the doors and possess all the keys we just play their game" I lowered my face and hastened my pace in fear I'd lose myself completely "Your future is dread" were the last words he said and I never even asked his name...

I love this! Musically, in places, it sounded like Frank N Furter had morphed into Faust. As usual with you, there's no wasted words, all move the story forward. Magical weirdness. Held my interest all the way through.

Hmmmm... Yeah', I can see that. Similar "lyrical tone"... Now, if I had a voice like Henley, I'd write "Dirty Laundry" over again

Wickedly interesting story that I'm still trying to work out with that casual and cool vocal.
Great riffing too.

At 2:20, I half expected you to sing..."You got caught with a flat, well how about that?"
