Transcendental Blues

Trancendental Blues Cover

The Nouveau Guinea Ensemble strikes again with their new piece "Transcendental Blues". Reminiscent of songs that can be heard in Slovakian dive bars, pour yourself a glass of absinthe and dig into these solid lyrics.... What in the world are they singing about?!?


Strollin' down the avenue
    ramblin 'thout a plan.
Must be somethin' missin'
    like the toast without the jam.
Don't nobody want me,
    life's out and on the lam.
I'm buckled bent and busted
    like an old tin can.

- - Life can be so easy...

I'm a roamin' cowboy
    got my feet stuck in the clay.
I'll be found the world around
    and never go away.
Send me off forever
    I'll be home the end of day.
Say the game is up
    and I will soon begin to play

-- Live can be so hard...

refrain:
Crazy living, I ain't got no alibi.
When pennies rain from heaven
    I am left here high and dry.
The belfry has been broken
    and the bats are on the loose.
My bridges are all burning
    with these Transcendental Blues.

You're the roller coaster
    that has fallen from the track.
You feel the sting from when the wing
    were pullen from your back.
All the things you have
    are all the things you used to lack.
Stick your head inside the bars
    and feed the beast it's snack.

Crazy living, I ain't got no alibi.
When pennies rain from heaven
    I am left here high and dry.
The belfry has been broken
    and the bats are on the loose.
My bridges are all burning
    with these Transcendental Blues.

This is available on all major streaming services.
