Bone Orchard - Soul Searching - 1991/2025

Ⓒ Corcoran 1991 Ⓟ Corcoran BMI 2025

The next to last song I wrote while the "band" was still in existence, right before we broke up. The song is actually about me, not a woman - about me while the band was in the process of inking a major label deal (Giant/Warner Bros.) and in the process of disintegrating all at the same time. Crazy, crazy!
Song was never shown to the band, nor played live or recorded until now.

Has a slam-frug dance feel - with some psychedelically-skirted and leather-booted females frugging in cages above a dance floor while spaced-out punks slam dance below, just like they all did when we played the Limelight in NYC at the end of June 1991.

As always, all vocals and instruments handled by M. Corcoran (the "last man standing").

Lyrics:
The clock strikes lunch time but she's lost her lunch
Over something she'll never understand.
When everything gets within reach,
How come it all gets out of hand?

Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah, now she's gone soul searching.
'Cause she don't realize, there's nothing left to find.
Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah now she's gone soul searching,
But the problem is that she's lost her mind.

Looks in the mirror, can place the face,
But she has trouble placing the name.
It must be someone else's fault,
If she could only place the blame.

Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah, now she's gone soul searching.
'Cause she don't realize, there's nothing left to find.
Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah now she's gone soul searching,
But the problem is that she's lost her mind.

With her canvas and her brushes,
She paints herself into a corner.
And she knows there's no way out now,
And that she is a.... goner.

She's looking for a place to hide
When her anxiety attacks.
She so unstable, so unsure,
And she ain't ever coming back.

Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah, now she's gone soul searching.
'Cause she don't realize, there's nothing left to find.
Yeah, now she's gone, yeah, now she's gone,
Yeah now she's gone soul searching,
But the problem is that she's lost her mind.
