Falling Down Deep - Lyrics - Jandek
Jandek is the musical project of Sterling Richard Smith, an outsider musician who operates out of Houston, Texas. Since 1978, Jandek has self-released over 70 albums of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting more than the occasional interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but the lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of East Texas. The name "Jandek" is most commonly used to refer specifically to the mainâoften soleâperformer, rather than to the project.

This is the time
When I can't drink it right
This is the time
When I'm not feeling fine
The journey is over, I'm falling down deep
I have no more promises to keep
This the feeling that won't go away
This is the last time of the day
Excitement is canceled
Passion is far from here
And nothing is written in beer
My very last chance is... gone today
And flutters and bobs like a bird shot... dead
It's remarkable and yet I
Still place it all on that last bit
