about

If you ever find yourself wandering El Camino de Santiago de Compostela, your first question should be, “How did I get here?” After that, you’ll realize that walking is prescribed as the cure for ailments of the body, mind and soul. Want to get somewhere? Walk. Want to lose weight? Walk. Put some distance between you and your troubles. Beats drinking, I suppose. And just getting in the car and hitting the highway doesn’t have that holistic feel, does it? Sometimes, you just have to walk.

lyrics

Dumping tea into the harbor
Doesn’t make you a Founding Father
It just means you don’t want tea
Each lightning blast becomes a thing of the past
All storms will recede

And we walk, walk off the Indian

With TNT, like a hapless coyote
You blow the bridge like Kelly’s Heroes
So cartoonishly

And walk off the Indian
Walk off, walk off

All my life, all these treasures
Scattered here and there cheap pillow feathers
Carried on the whims of the wind
Like those helicopter seeds you see

Walk off, walk off

The despot, well he might die peaceful
Swimmers sometimes drown in streams
Coffee’d up with eyes wide shut
Asleep in the time machine

Walk off, walk off

Out in the canyon
Losing the daylight
A premonition to come
Thinking of this song

Walk off

I left a trail of my presence behind
Like the friction of a slug
With his belly on the ground
Grinding forward as though I planned it
And I don’t think that it was underhanded
But I still needed to walk off

The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
