about

Written during a hardscrabble period after a sore game of scrabble. A culling of words to arrange the order in chaos...I felt a right millwright of a sort. Go on shuffle the deck!

lyrics

Show yourself to the neighbors
It’s your house
The destiny of landlords let you down
Say good night to a sound sleep
Those days are gone in the heat

Jot to the pub to gab with foe
You never thought you could be this bold
After all the choices we have made
This one simply takes the cake

We live by the highway
Loud as it can be
I can almost hear myself being a parent
Late at night you can still hear the sound of wheels
My baby sleeping by my side

Everything is a Chinese Tree... is all
Not one thing is made here anymore
I just came from another Dollar Store
All I can say is I can’t believe it

Dispatch into the realm of the abysmal
Let your thoughts run wild
Hold on to every sacred symbol
Until they achieve Human Rights

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Sometimes I forget
How we got here
Next to you my wife
You are the woman of my dreams
Lying here beside

(Solo/Instrumental)

Ask questions at dawn of the dean
Lo the ox, hare, accused
Awl the owl with all your might
If the door is ajar, kick it in

Everything is a Chinese Tree
Not one thing is made here
upon these shores
I just came from another Dollar Store
All I can say is I hope for safety

(Interlude)

For a moment we share
For a life we deeply care
Hear that sizzle in your ear?
You look va voom ce soir!
