This Track was written by J Wagner and Gregory Alan Isakov
The Chorus of this song was taken from part of a song we did not use called "Highway Crooks"
lyrics
The stars act like Orphans , Their afraid to speak up
They only talk and tell jokes to them selves
There is the warrior and the wanderer and the magicians son
And the archer and the alchemist
I had nothing to give so I gave them all my dreams
And I followed them down those streets and hair-pen curves
Their memory is short and their tales stretch long
And I’m just waiting for that North Star to ring
Chorus
So feel me up my only cup it’s your turn to sing me a song
I’m sick of these stories and these re-running movies
And I’m going to let your voice carry me home
I’m going to let your voice carry me home
I spent all last week throwing prayers into a well
In the evening weaving wishes in the sky
Mercury is rising and Orion is falling down
With no arrow or shield to guide
Chorus
Zeus condemned Prometheus for giving fire to man
And left him there just chained to a stone
Dionysus drunk on wine, we were swinging on those vines
With Hermes and that band of thieves
Chours
