Martyn Cuthbert - The Ballad of Ravey Jones Lyrics

He arrives like a lightning bolt and
He doesn't fit the mold
He's an animal at the wrong side of the cage
Should be a work on Monday
But everyday's his fun day
A lost soul in a world with no regrets
Let me tell you about the ballad of ravey jones
On a cold and rainy morning
Feels like his skin is crawling
A replica of what he used to be
He needs to get his skates on
Cause he's a ticking time bomb
An enemy on the wrong side of the gate
Let me tell you about
The ballad of ravey jones
His whereabouts
To most are still unknown
Don't you ever welcome
The demons to your home
There's a lesson learned if you turn around
And you look and just say no
When you're feeling restless
And the cold begins to burn
Just take your turn to reaffirm
That the lesson has been learnt
Let me tell you about
The ballad of ravey jones
As he wakes on a Friday morning
He can feel it calling
The brakes come off
Get ready to throw it away
Cause he is in his fun zone
Ready to perch on his throne
Of wasting, wasting it all away
Let me tell you about
The the ballad of ravey jones
His whereabouts
To most are still unknown
He's really done it this time
He's got us split down the line
As he turns to run away
He gets hit by a Chevrolet
Just as the sun goes down
He vanishes from the ground
Never was he seen again
Is he missing or is he dead
Don't you ever welcome
The demons to your home
There's a lesson learned
If you turn around
And you look and just say no
When you're feeling restless
And the cold begins to burn
Just take your turn to reaffirm
That the lesson has been learned
When the choice becomes relentless
To prove just who you are
It's a big deal in the spinning wheel
Just make it out alive
Trying to build momentum
Time to dry your eyes
It's a big deal if you don't squeal
When you have to fight that fight
Let me tell you about
The ballad of ravey jones
His whereabouts
To most most are still unknown
