All Energy Flows (Downtempo)

A B-side cut of one of only two surviving original tracks from the vanished and now-legendary second AFS album, "Sunday Alms". Alms For Satan ventures outside of their satanic drool and onto a musical limb with this song, an extended alt-rock tragedy of a loving father who loses his only son in a trucking accident.

The plot is a winding thread, in which the happy bouncing boy is killed by being struck by a hit-and-run truck, and the bereaved father just happens to be a trucker himself; of course, the grieving trucker then speeds off in his own truck (still carrying his son's severed hand!), intent on revenging himself upon the unknown guilty trucker. However, the tragedy continues to spiral further, as the trucker father simply begins killing any-and-all truck drivers he can find along the road, in various bizarre ways.

The band's songwriting during this period has clearly taken a turn away from pure vomit and Satan-stroking, and instead begins to explore "people, and the things they do;" an interesting, and not-entirely-unwelcome evolution in the band's history. Truckers are people too!

Here are the lyrics:
"Man and his kid
Walking down the street
Hand in hand

Man said, 'Hey son
I love you so much
I'm gonna buy you
A shiny new toy
And you get to choose IT!'

Kid said, 'Gee, thanks Dad!'
And just as he did
A big ol' truck came and hit the kid

The dad was so distraught
He didn't know what to do
'Cause he was still holding on
To his kid's hand

Jumped in his own truck
Sped out out west
Shotgun in his lap

Man came across another truck
On Highway 55'er
He flagged the guy down
Said he had a flat tire

So that truck driver got out
And started to help
The man bludgeoned him
With one swing of his belt

(chorus)
Truck killer, killing all the truckers
Truck killer, 'cause he's sad about his son

Stole the driver's rig
Sped on down the road
Looking for trouble
Looking for revenge

Found another trucker
Asleep in his cab
So he pulled out his teeth
And he mailed them to El Paso

(chorus)
Truck killer, killing all the truckers
Truck killer, 'cause he's sad about his son

Now folks say
He's gonna ride all day
'Til he finds the guy
Who killed his son

Then after he does
He's going off
The Grand Canyon

He wants to see
The trucker's face
Same as the way
His son looked
That fateful day

(chorus)
Truck killer, killing all the truckers
Truck killer, 'cause he's sad about his son"
