The Ballad of Ben Blank

A rock 'n' roll singer, a real humdinger
Solid gold, I'm a six-string gunslinger
I'm a name-taker and a deal-breaker
I've been told I'm just a masterpiece faker

I give tough love, ain't gonna preach to you
You wanted rough stuff, I'm gonna teach it to you
Still an up setter, still a go-getter
47 still a wannabe jet-setter

Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty ditty ditty

I'm outta left field, I ain't well-heeled
Full of holes, still baby, I'm the real deal
I've been a showstopper, a turnstile hopper
Freelanced as a secondhand name-dropper

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true

I'm a bad dream, I got one speed
No gears, just straight ahead full steam
I'm like quicksand
I'm a gold-panning man on a mission, I'm a bonafide loose cannon

Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty ditty ditty

A rodeo clown, born lowdown
Just a tumbleweed rolling into your town
Still a hot potato, still a perpetrator
Still a shaky hand, black heart operator

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true

I left my name in the river
My face in the mirror
All thoughts in my mind
Walked on, no shadow behind me
A fire inside me to see what I'd find

I'm a rhinestone renegade
And my heart is deafening
A mysterious barricade
I'm a shotgun changeling

I left my name in the river (I'm a rhinestone renegade)
(And my heart is deafening) my face in the mirror
(A mysterious barricade) all thoughts in my mind (I'm a shotgun changeling)
Walked on, no shadow behind me (I'm a rhinestone renegade)
(And my heart is deafening) a fire inside me (a mysterious barricade)
To see what I'd find (I'm a shotgun changeling)

Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty ditty ditty

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart, if your heart is true

Doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty doom
Doom ditty, doom ditty, doom ditty ditty ditty
