Junky Star
Junky Star's Tale: Love Lost, Redemption Found
Lyrics
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
The man approached to greet me, but his intention was to take away my farm.
I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car
In response, I shot him and felt remorse as I drove away in his car.
So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast
Fleeing with a smoking gun, I'm searching for the coast.
Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most
Reflecting on my past, among all the losses, I miss your love the most.
And hell will have to pay
Consequences and punishment await in hell for my actions.
I went a little bit too far I'd say
I admit I went too far in my actions.
Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar
Intoxicated, I stagger, influenced by the whiskey from the bar.
Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars
I find myself sleeping on the Santa Monica pier, surrounded by junkies and stars.
For when I woke a Spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand
Upon waking, a Spanish cross is near, reaching out for my hand.
Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn't understand
A stranger replaces the cross, speaking words that I cannot comprehend.
And there's nothin' but the ground
There's nothing around me but the ground, the only place where I can rest.
It's the only place I found
This ground is the sole space I've discovered to lay my head in town.
Where I can lay my head in town

Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change
On the boulevard, I observe the sidewalk where people shuffle for change.
Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain
In a state of withdrawal from the night before, I hallucinate in the rain.
So I borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side
Borrowing a quarter, I make a call to the other side (possibly metaphorical), expressing that the whole world is waiting in line to die.
I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die
I inform God about the world's dire state but claim exemption for myself this time.
But not me, this time
I distance myself from trouble and leave it behind.
I left the trouble far behind
The narrative shifts, and someone ties their arm off, possibly for drug use.
And he tied his arm off one more time
(No specific information provided in the lyrics for this line.)
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
A repetition of the initial encounter, emphasizing the loss of the farm due to deceit.
