Ghoultown

From the album LIFE AFTER SUNDOWN Art by: Juha Vuorma Directed by: Laume Conroy DRINK WITH THE LIVING DEAD I was sittin in The Thirsty Devil one sheet hung to the wind when the bat wings doors creaked open and a stranger sauntered in he moved his head from side to side and glared with a sunken eye I heard the spin of a rusty spur as he shook off the dreary night he lowered his hat, checked his gun and headed toward the bar walked on up beside me I knew he’d traveled far in a voice as thick as mud he looked to the ’keep and said... “one shot of whiskey for myself and one for my new friend“ the patrons whispered hushed and low they seemed to be afraid as if a ghost had stood right up and walked out of its grave his face was shallow and dirty his skin like leather hide sure he spoke like any man but something wasn’t right so I twisted on my stool turned to him and said “thank you sir, but just the same, I’m chasin worms instead“ he growled and shoved the drink my way hi
