Edgar Allan Poe
Song A Day #1446

In the rundown streets of Baltimore
A man's howls at the moon
He stands on the threshold
of the Horse You Came In On Saloon
Wearing someone else's clothes
A patch of black bristles under his nose
He is a broken ghost a husk that will float away

Into the dark
Which all of his dreams grabbed hold of
And he'll reunite
With all of his old loves
With all of his old loves

He was American Original
He was the first of his kind
Selling Fiction for a living
Was unheard of in his time

By millions loved and known
But he was penniless and alone
He went toe to toe with the night and now he'll float away

And into the dark
Where the pendulum just keeps swinging
He disembarked
As all of the angels singing

All the women that you loved
So completely
They'll all come back to you now
Kiss you sweetly

Every nightmare that you've had
Will fade away like fog on glass
And we're sorry that you went through that

But you are finally home

We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
