Jesus Christ been here and gone
What a painful price to pay
He’s left his life in a thunderstorm
Tears cold dark eyes upon
Swing pendulum, swing low
Got no place to call my own
Oh my Lord don’t you bother me
I’m as tired as a man can be
I’m as tired as a man can be
Jesus Christ been here and gone
What a painful place to leave
With frost on the limbs of a cherry tree
This cold, cold wind is buryin' me
Swing pendulum, swing slow
Got no time to call my own
Oh my Lord don’t you bother me
I’m as tired as a man can be
I’m as tired as a man can be
Burned on my brain for life is the wooden "ball" with most of its paint worn off sitting in the Bodie schoolhouse. That damn globe to this day haunts me. I'd love to return and when I do, I'll be playing Lanegan's Pendulum on 11. Thanks for the memories!!

I have been there if that is what you are asking. I shot the photos in the video. I wanted to create a visual of what his music makes me think or reminds me of. A Ghost Town to me is perfect. This one especially. A lot in common lyrically and the history of the town. Although its all in a personal interpretation, this is just mine and thought it worked well with his music. :)
Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate it!! I do have my pix online. Primarily landscapes. Lots o desert southwest stuff. :) You can see them at collectiveone,dot,deviantart,dotcom
I remember listening to this during one of the toughest periods of my life & I gotta say this song helped me in ways most people will never understand ....Mark is a dark saint
Thank you! I cant take credit for the video in "dead on you" but I put it together. I liked this combo so much that when I found the other time lapse clips of the same ghost town I couldnt help but throw another together. Would love to do one for 'beggars blues". Such a bleak and atmospheric tune deserves some related imagery.
