about

The Dreadful Gate, playing live at August West amphitheatre, DarkStar, SL, July 22, 2012.

lyrics

I will not lie, I will tell you the truth
I signed on late this evening, I was rockin' the blues
But whatever this game is I always seem to lose!

And I was laggin', laggin' all the time
Yeah I was laggin', laggin' all the time
Well, is it any wonder I'm left so far behind?

I went wanderin' around, lookin' for somethin' to see
I wanna fly to the moon, press down on my 'Home' key
And then I found myself sittin' on the bottom of the sea!

And I was laggin', laggin' all the time
Yeah I was laggin', laggin' all the time
Well, is it any wonder I'm left so far behind?

Went to the show to see my girl so we could dance close
But it was so crowded that my laptop froze
I reset my gear, b the time I got back on
Some griefer done stole my lady and gone!

And I 'm laggin', laggin' all the time
Yeah, laggin', laggin' all the time
Is it any wonder I'm left so far behind?

Well, it's a sad ordeal when your bandwidth's too weak
I'm gonna take myself to 'Frisco, down, down to Battery Street
I'm gonna walk right into Linden Labs, and bust right into their
Optical-fiber network lines, never hear me cryin'!

And I 'm laggin', laggin' all the time
Yeah, laggin', laggin' all the time
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder at all?
Is it any wonder I'm left so far behind?

The Dreadful Gate image

The Dreadful Gate San Francisco, California

Two RL brothers separated by a whole continent virtually jam in Second Life together to form The Dreadful Gate. Jackson in California and drummis in New York jam cross-country making live music that can be described as psycho-dynamic electric improv... and a few knee-slappin' songs!

Join us in SL if you enjoy live, multi-instrument, psychedelic-ish music that you can't hear anywhere else. ... more
