Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jeff Average	#1 by Jeff Berg at Oct 12, 2007 at 12:40 AM EST
	I have to agree with everyone on what the song is about, but if anyone has ever seen the movie "The Dark Crystal" you will know that the evil creatures in it are called The Skeksis and it is a pretty good description in the lyrics by saying Their sunken faces And their wild rolling eyes. Those things still freak me out!
