about

This track is primarily influenced by a lecture from Alan Watts. He says, "If you are going to outwit the devil, it’s terribly important that you don’t give him any advance notice! And this is where the work of the sly man comes in."

This song is about my struggle with addiction and overcoming this one day at a time.

lyrics

Tall pines, middle of the winter
I feel the cold, the cold December
Shadows looking like long thin lines
Sun down in a small town
I gotta go if I want to make it out now
Night killer coming for my life

But the call me the sly
They call me the sly man
They call me the sly man
They call me the sly man
Gotta Beat ‘em to the draw now
When I have the chance

I gotta away
Jumpin in the deep end
I gotta say I never thought I’d see him
Old lies stuck in the same ol' trap
With this Night Killer runnin on the loose
I look ahead but and now I gotta choose
Live or die pulling back on the bow

But the call me the sly
They call me the sly man
They call me the sly man
They call me the sly man
Gotta Beat ‘em to the draw now
When I have the chance
