So, I strummed thru a set
of Bob Seger and Buffet
watched the crowd get
unsettled, the sun turn bright orange
I unbuttoned my shirt
shouted out "Fuck-it"
Transitioning into a
tantalizing Neil Young medley
the crowd responded by
tapping their feet and throwing some broccoli
a big Australian bloke back
by the bar
shouted out
"Sweet!"
Fading away on some
Vampire Blues
I told them I'd be back
in ten minutes, they hadn't a clue
Just enough time to open
a window to the past
I began to crawl through
I buried my cell phone in
the sand
tired of waiting for your
exotic ring tone
Just when I was about to
get serious
two sumo wrestling crabs
began to fight over it
Life is always greener on
the other side of the planet
Other planets have their
advantages
I sat there waiting for
the sand to ring
trying to be an artist I found emotions instead
You're only human she use
to say
I tossed away my bottle of
empty clichés'
In my attempt to be
different I ended up the same
My Manager pokes me with
a stick and says "Dude, you're on
until 10:00"
I remember a time we had
time on our side
a stroll thru the park,
curtains drawn at dark
a storybook romance
that faded to black
You might ask, "What
happened in the end?"
She deep fried my heart
sucked the life from my best friend
Ray
took the night shift at
the blood bank
never saw her again.
These things are all good
as I now have a wife and
4 kids
live on the beach
got a steady gig
But I'll never forget
that summer of blood
and the monster unleashed
