whippoorwill
lyrics
i started out as a song
sung in the ear of a whippoorwill
i was brought to earth by the harmony
of two souls singing as one
in a bed in alaska (they weren't actually singing)
i was born in boston (they hit a home run)
but i was just the melody
boring, without any harmony
i wanted things to just click...
but they didn't
nothing fits in this whole in my heart like music
it's like my heart's a donut
and music is my donut hole
nothing works, nothing clicks
everything else just sticks
to the roof of my mouth
like peanut butter,
it doesn't come out smooth.
(chunky peanut butter)
nothing has worked, nothing has clicked
music is my sole escape
the only way i get away
from the pains of life (ouch)
like, one time in the inner city
of wichita, kansas
i saw this guy pull out
(i saw him peel out in his car)
and shoplift from target.
tell me how you get over that.
you don't. ever.
coming soon: a nifty little flash music player. it should fancy things up a bit…keep an eye out for it
