Me playing acoustic guitar with a harmonica around my neck was never in my visions of myself when I was younger...but hey, that's the way things go! (confession: I thought I hated Neil Young when I was younger, then I grew up).

lyrics

R a s p u t i n
(c) Kurt Kramer, Dean Wolfe 2002

verse
If I could write a song I would
but words don't come easy to a thick head like mine
If I could find the words I'd find them
and play them like I feel them
But my fingers are weak- they won't press the steel

prechorus
But I'm on the road again
and I'm on the road and blue
Thought I had the time in hand but I feel it slipping through
Whoever said I'm gonna change my mind said I'd change a time or two
You know everybody's got a line, I guess mine'll have to do

chorus
It's just another day with Rasputin
It's just another day with the poison crown tryin' to burn me down
It's just another day with Rasputin
It's just another day in the part of town that's crumblin' down

verse
If this is as good as it gets then I better be gettin' on, gettin' on
Because a life half-lived ain't worth too much
and I've yet to pen a decent song, o so long

repeat prechorus/chorus

pre-bridge
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh

bridge
Something must lift me and take me far from hell
Some word, some deed, someone to...
Something to lift me

outro
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (times four)
