Name: The Man In The Suit
Duration: P00H02M51S
Description: My friend Matt Schickele used to be in a band called beekeeper. I tried writing a song in the style of that band. Whether it's a success or not, I don't know. But it's a song I wouldn't have written otherwise. Best part is, Matt plays guitar on this track!

lyrics

Seems the wiser
Varies with age

Takes the time to
Change his mind
Walks through the swarm

The venom of his enemy is wine
A stranger in silver
Steals from the queen
Painless and generous
The drones replace the gold
The spoils of his honey gift spread,
And word gets round

He takes chances
There's no danger

Even stronger
The sting endured
The poison is the cure
