lyrics

Word is there's been a shooting tonight
Outside a bar, south of town
No sign of scuffle, no sign of a fight
But there's at least one man down

Our man was found out in the street
He tried to run when he could
But the shooter, he took dead aim
And put him down where he stood

He only take a shot to the leg
The doctor says he should heal
He tried to name the shooter Ny-gen
But that name can't be real

With the commotion and all of the smoke
Mr. Nyguen got away
And if our friend can ever find him
There'll be hell to pay

How many ways can you get the name wrong?
Is it Ny-gen or Nuge?
You'd think you'd remember the name
Of the man who shot you

So if you head to a bar south of town
And someone cops attitude
Tell them you're looking for Mr. Ny-gen
Tell them you're looking for The Nuge

about

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
