about

Driving back to Albany with Chris Gockley (bass player/guitarist/singer-songwriter extraordinaire) after an awesome Jeff Tweedy show, we got a little turned around and found ourselves in a desolate spot where there were a lot of threatening NO TRESPASSING signs. "We're not trespassing," I said. "We just got lost."

lyrics

Private property, a stranger outside
Keeps on coming, he ain’t gonna hide
This land is your land, it’s his land too
What happened to him it could happen to you

Says I’m not trespassing, I just got lost
Wandering so long, sense of direction is off
You can put down that shotgun, don’t be alarmed
He’ll soon be on his way, no one should get harmed

Words he said well they used to be fine
Spoke without thinking said what was on his mind
But meanings change while you get old
Lose your job head out on the road

Says I’m not trespassing, I just got lost
Living so long, a brain can grow soft
Please stop your tweeting, don’t be alarmed
He’ll soon be on his way, no one should get harmed

Yes he should keep his hands to himself
But he kept on reaching out for someone else
He says he didn’t mean to offend
But that’s a sure way to get to an end

Says I wasn’t trespassing, I just got lost
Lusting so long, loved being the boss
You can keep testifying, don’t be alarmed
He’ll soon be locked away, no one should get harmed

What about you and your every day
Are all your decisions completely okay
Complicity’s devilish, true angels are rare
How many of us just pretend that we care

Say we’re not trespassing, we just got lost
Who’s got time for second thoughts
So much is broken, don’t be alarmed
We’ll all be on our way, no one should get harmed

Are you a trespasser?
Just trying to get across
Maybe we’re all trespassers
And we are lost, lost, lost
