I Was Gone

about

This tentacle-tapper has my strategy for dealing with cults and other Lovecrafian menaces. Big thanks to Matt Redman and Colonel Hartley for making this rock!

lyrics

I was born a little kid, but when I became an adult
Folks came knockin’ on my door, askin’ me to join their cult
I said they should come back later, cuz I needed time to decide
Next day they returned and found that my house was unoccupied

CHORUS:
I was gone
No longer there
I was someplace else and I ain’t sayin’ where
Just gone
Far out of sight
But if you want me baby I’ll be comin’ back home tonight

Last week I heard tell about a party up on the hill
A gal I met said come along, this thing is gonna be a thrill
I showed up and saw an altar just a-waitin’ for a sacrifice
She yelled out, “Go get him, boys!” and she didn’t have to say it twice

CHORUS

They all think they got me pinned
But they may as well chase the wind
My MO is to get out fast
When they light the fuse I don’t stick around for the blast

Yesterday I moseyed down to the Innsmouth Cafe to eat
All the other diners stared at me when I took my seat
A big-eyed waiter smiled and told me, “You’re the Catch of the Day”
I lit out like Usain Bolt, I’m the one that got away
