You can hear the baby bones, cracked beneath her wheels
Tears of Avalon, streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors, unfortunate attacks
Will leave you standing nameless while she's turning black

    shouldn't be tagged with "post-grunge", cause "post-grunge" mostly consists of shitbands. and this song here is amazing, like all stuff off of machina II.

    this song always makes me smile, one of Billy's best examples of how he can take something simple and make it so unique.

    i love this song so very much, i think it will always be one of my favourites. it's so simple, yet so perfect. And it works equally well as a solo acoustic or with a hard rock full band arrangement. it's just perfect.

    I totally agree. I came here to write that this song is totally underrated. But someone else did this before me ;)

    an amazing song pity that billy had to go on and release machina, while shunning gems like this, and pretty much everything else on machinaII
