lyrics

Backward Devil
Hollow as the moon
Golden as the sun
In a flash of light with a mark so true
Like a bullet from a gun
The city streets don’t talk
So I don’t know for sure
But I swear Jesus walked in Memphis
Back in nineteen fifty four
Tell me I’m not
Alone
I’m not the only one
Who walks
This road
Like a backward devil
Nothin’s made to fix
It seems like nothin’s made to last
It cuts like a hammer and melts like a wrench
A thing to hold on to and a blade to cast
A dagger in my heart
I say what’s the use
All these plastic parts and cheap bullshit
Disposable and mass-produced
Tell me I’m not
Alone
I’m not the only one
Who walks
This road
Like a backward devil
A backward devil
A backward devil
Hollow moon
Fortune told
Tears roll down twisted spines
Backward heads and tortured souls
I saw it all
I’m the palm of your hand
It was clear as day in a crystal ball
Now it’s gone like a grain of sand
Hangin from a wish
Tangled in the stars
It was bad luck, it was a son of a bitch
And it was always in the cards
Tell me I’m not
Alone
I’m not the only one
Who walks
This road
Like a backward devil
Tell me I’m not
Alone
I’m not the only one
Who walks
This road
Like a backward devil
A backward devil
A backward devil
Hollow moon
Fortune told
Tears roll down twisted spines
Backward heads and tortured souls
One, two, one two three go!

about

Justin Pickard & The Thunderbird Winos Dallas, Texas

Whether seeing Justin Pickard live when he goes into a sort of fugue state, rehashing guitar lines that could come straight off a 1950s country porch. or hearing his recorded work which tightrope walks between rockabilly to country, punk to rock’n’roll without falling, the effect is unforgettable.” -Jamie Vahala, Dallas Observer ... more
