about

Opening roadhouse guitar leads into Indian and Middle East based, tom tom driven melody. Acid trip guitar playing, punctuated by exotic instruments, finish on another-worldly note.

lyrics

The Future’s Begun
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

There comes a time in life when friends are strange
And every morning seems to be the same
Down in the sandpits where we used to play
Is where the memories will have to stay
I’m tired of winter and the endless night
Dead end jobs that barely keep me alive
The only thing that makes me feel alright
Comes in a ziploc bag that costs a dime

Follow the highway, run to the sun
Then you will find that the future’s begun
Splashes of color hot as the sun
No need to worry the future’s begun

I’m at the borderline, I know I won’t go back
To living the same old way
And now I’m feeling fine, my mood is not as black
As when I began today

So I sold my 8-tracks and my records too
Trashed my box of memories of you
Said my good-byes to everyone I knew
I hit the highway and forgot my blues
