	Have you seen my head? I’ve looked everywhere My how these things happen I’m afraid this has all gone wrong ’Twas nothing personal Least not before See I came here out of need Came ashore an honest man Women and children first One day you’ll see Yourself as I do ’Tis not reason that guides you O Tarry Town May your original sins One day tear you apart O Tarry Town One day you’ll see Yourself as I do O Tarry Town

about

Based on Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", "The Curse of Tarry Town, or The Hessian’s Diary" builds on the sound established earlier on The Holy Water EP: more atmosphere, slower pace, and moodier vocals. The lyrics situate the horseman in America from his perspective.
