Down upon your hands and knees
Underneath the poplar trees
Digging through sticks and stones
Looking for store bought bones

Waiting on the rising sun
Clutching at your holstered gun
Praying on a shooting star
That I can be wherever you are

Looking through a telescope
Maybe there's a sign of hope
Leaving everything behind
Stirring a store bought mind

Sitting at the edge of a seat
Wishing you were here by me
Sifting through the mud and the bricks
Looking for a store bought fix

You can't buy

Whoah, I love how this sounds in parts like it could be an obscure track by The Sweet! Such a radically talented bunch of rocker-racounteurs; what a wild sound! Love Jack White, love The Greenhornes, too!

Man, I hope JW keeps making Raconteurs albums.  They are both gems.  Saw them play a surprise show in a club while my wife was 7 months pregnant.  A classic memory!

Love this song. I prefer this band over The White Stripes or The Dead Weather. The 2 Raconteurs albums are both awesome.
 
Agreed!

This sucked from note 1, and got worse from there.

the keyboard opening reminds me of an olf Emerson Lake & Palmer song.  Can't quite place it

Yes, it's quite a likable tune.  Nice retro sound indeed.

definetly not the best song from their record. They're recording a new record currently. I can't wait to hear it.

is that a guitar run though a synth or a keyboard? I like...

a thin and wimpy shadow of Deep Purple...to sandwich this between the Who and Hendrix is certain death

saw them open for Dylan last week. Enjoyed the show but found a little too much discord in the music and Jack White is a tad too sloppy live for my tastes. Good performance though. Definitely not something most Dylan fans appreciated, although they got some decent applause.

With the cover art on this album, they should call themselves the Racoonteurs.

Bill was right about these guys. Nice tune, but they are the kings of bad lyrics.
