Pause before you begin
And let the truth sink in
Prepare and say goodbye
Give your final thought
To friends who know you not
Hold back those demons again
Just hold on for just one minute more
And hold on - before you jump the final gap
And hold your breath
Just hold your breath
And as you fall, the weight lies scattered on your trail
With every breath inhaled the ground has more detail
See no-one told you it would take a leap of faith to show the way
And now the fog is far above
You know the leap was your mistake
Too late
So pause before you begin
And let the truth sink in
The choice is yours alone
Let your dying thought
Be that which you have lost
Embrace those demons again
Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
