The Great Unknown Lyrics

The Great Unknown (神秘的未知) - Shawn Mullins

It's Friday night I'm back again

With my old guitar my trusty grin

And a best you don't come in here sign

Tattooed on this heart of mine

From a dirty brown shag carpet stage

I sing my songs and I pace the cage

Stuck up here in the twilight zone

Staring out into the great unknown

There's an old Hank Williams figurine

Hanging by a guitar string

From the pull chain of

The Pabst Blue Ribbon sign

With a clock that's stopped on half past nine

Yeah the time ain't changed round here in years

Same sad story same old tears

Ain't nobody wants to be alone

Out here in the great unknown

You can find the stool there at the bar

Designed to take you nowhere far

They got a mirror back behind the whiskey shelf

Where we don't dare look back at ourselves

Just past the men's room down the hall

Barely hanging there on a plaster wall

A faded sticker on the old payphone

Says welcome to the great unknown

It's out beyond the yonder star

It's all up in there where you are

By some cosmic wind we're blown

Out into the great unknown

Hopes and dreams and ash and dust

It all seems to either rot or rust

Souls wrapped in flesh and bone

Heartbeats in the great unknown

It's Friday night and I'm back again
