Wayfaring Muse
Oh, wayfaring muse
In your never never netherworld
I'll come following you
Call my name - How can I refuse?
Oh, wayfaring muse
Take me down to the wilderness
Of your torrid tenderness
Sweet nothingness
Tearing into my solitude
She leadeth me to paint what ain't
In the dead of night
Without a word of complaint
On the ladder of madness
It could all be in vain
These things I do I can't explain
{Get down}
One more slug of that clair de lune
Just a little intermission in the gloom
I get to feel alright, I get to see the light
Every other blue moon
On golden strands of a truthful lyre
I'll play the ancient blues
And warm my hands by a hobo fire
Singing along to a coyote choir
All my heart's desire
It's all that I can do
Just to get back to you
But I'm a wandering fool
Wayfaring muse

In The Sky

In The Sky
Wobbling sea legs
In every other port of call
In the bus stop tail light twilight
A nameless baby squalls
She left the door wide open
You let the cold air in
Five senses of tumbling darkness
The drunken heavens spin
On the unmade love I lay me down
Until the room resumes spinning around
So many pallets, so many floors
To crash and burn and dream
Eleventh hour lover calling out for more
(More fool me)
Lady luck couldn't give a f___
Not even out of pity
Snake eyes roll in the head cracking cold
You're pissing in the windy city
Oh, freak dreams heave - ho
Twenty stories high
Well, here's to soft landings
On full moonlit thighs
And you're free to freeze your ass off
Waiting for a train
That takes you far from trouble
Should the lady be delayed
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Disappearing daddy
How you made your mama cry
You made your mama cry
Made a career of avoiding mirrors
Just walk on by
Walk on by

Everything

Everything
Bands of light
From passing cars
Farewell transmissions
From collapsing stars
Lowlight reeling
Down goes the day
Ain't a damn thing funny
How time slips away
A dog eared catalog
Of every mistake I've made
A symphony of entropy
A universe in retrograde
What keeps me up at night?
Everything
Pleasure seekers
Getting in a little late
Strains of Day Is Done
On a rusty gate
Drunken singers
Can't find the key
Knocking on the wrong door
And clapping on the one and the three
Well, it's one kind favor
One ragged prayer
May my dumb luck hold up
And my love be spared
From this idiot dream
My republic to keep
From every wolf at every door
Maybe then I could sleep
What keeps me up at night?

About Time
Oh, the lingering ache of time ill spent
In the weirdly warm winter of our discontent
Two hearts withdrawn
In wet cement
Spinning, spilling darkness
Baby, please relent
In the fragrant sweep of a cool afternoon
On the vanishing trail of a woman in bloom
There's a clock-struck fool,
Half-past time at hand
In a lead-legged dream
Falling behind
Quicksilver shimmers
With the weight of a whisper
Where dumb luck stars light up the sky
From chakra to chakra
Like a flock of maracas
From low down desire
To heavens high
Laughing at life
Oh, the long legs of longing
And the short leash of time
You've got the only doggie
That'll walk the line

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late-
80s indie rock scene.
“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression
