lyrics

I'd been running so fast I couldn't hardly see
The red flags popping up all around me
The sound of the sirens was always on key
Angels lost in the modern reverie

Switch everything on except your inner light
Figure out ways to quit stalling for a fight
Never out of mind even if way out of sight
Angels with wings unable to take flight

Trying to walk to the rhythm of your own feet
But the train on the tracks is always on the beat
They'll swallow up the moon with the noise of the machines
Angels dazzled by the glowing screens

Hop on board baby hop on board
There's always room for many a-more
Hop on board baby hop on board
On the express train to find the mystery lord

Steal what you can to make something new
The crime is in thinking that it's all thanks to you
The magic at your fingertips a glorious ruse
Angels conning their way into gilded rooms



Your coffers are full but you're still just as poor
If a man is made rich by what he leaves pure
You might pawn your chain you might pawn your sword
But the angels pawned off the umbilical cord

When i'm gone don't you file me in a drawer
Throw me to the lions that i be reborn
To hear the clamor of the silent horns
Angels knocking on mother earth's door

Hop on board baby hop on board
There's always room for many a-more
Hop on board baby hop on board
On the express train to find the mystery lord

about

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
