Sticking Around

about

Musically inspired by Howlin' Wolf, ZZ Top and Robert Johnson. This song is about defying death and giving the middle finger to people who want to quiet you down, tell you to not follow your dream, stick to your lane, and all that nonsense. This song is about celebrating life. As someone who has survived a lot of bad shit in my life I realised even though I had survived I wasn't thriving so this song came as an encouragement for myself and for people who are different, who follow the road less travelled and go against the grain. This song is an anthem for you. Sing it loud and proud.

lyrics

You can bury me out in the desert. Bury me up to my neck. And the vultures are circling round, but you better let Death know, I ain’t ready to go. I’ll be sticking around.

You can throw me out in the ocean, with nothing to hold on to. And the sharks are circling round, but you better let Death know that I ain’t ready to go. I’ll be sticking around.

You can stab me, shoot me, throw me off a train, poison me, chop me up and flush me down the drain, throw me in acid and do it all again. You can strangle me, dangle me above a cliff. Well I don’t care at all. And the angels are circling round and the devil awaits her due but you better let Death know and everyone else know I’ll be sticking around.
