lyrics

So it's spring again
Go tell someone who cares
I dream about you too much
And I’m starting to get scared
Someone tell my heart to go to bed
Cause it's actin such a clown
And love, oh love, it's the only game in town

Why do this to ourselves?
I wish I was born a prune
And why does the sweetest fruit
Have the most confusing juice?
But tell me if u find my heart
In the lost in found
Cause Love, oh love, it's the only game in town

I am no fool
Though I have a fool's touch
But what starts out with thimblefuls
Sometimes ends up in floods
And the spectrum tonight is so sloppy
But it cannot hold me down
Cause love, oh love, it's the only game in town

Take me back again
Hold me like soup
Tell something sweet even if it's not true
And someone tell my friend group
They oughta just put me down
Cause love, oh love, it's the only game in town

Let me drown again
In yr bed
Cause I know now that water
Is a wizard's best friend
You see the liberal arts
Have made my hands much too proud
And love, oh love, it's the only game in town

Make me drunk again
With a single touch
And then I should be leaving
Before I am undone
And why is it the harshest truths
Come from the most compelling mouths
Ah but love, oh love, it is the only game in town

Back 2 skool
C2qll070f5wv
I got an h bomb in my pocket tonite
Spit a silver dollar on that mind
Sleek unbeatable pathos is right
Just gimme a trumpet
Just lemme b terrible at trumpet fr one Christmas break

It sure was fun being yr fake boyfriend
Lemme know when yr biopic
Goes Into production

I know my heart well enough t b utterly terrified

music is the devil's music

That's a pretty cool ghost now carlos but don't u wanna b first and last
Yr flowers all tank up like Druids when yr science comes t pass
And don't u know it's a strange strange world that gets the best outa u
What a wonderful crime
All we are is Chemicals in the wind.
The fascism of the imagination

I know why u cry
When the main character rejects his food

U can't escape the ring of deaths cell phone
My aching halo
Pauls last chance pizzeria

Alive People
by Ruth Garbus

supported by 7 fans who also own “04. the only game in town”

Reminds me a lot of Court and Spark and Ladies of the Canyon era Joni. The synths and vocal chops of Kleinmeister, but the solitude of Rendezvous with Rama. I find it easy to describe in terms of other things but hard to describe the emotions that it makes me feel! These summer-y odes to that seem to be directed to a teenage New Englander really resonate with me, an almost not-teenage New Englander, two decades later, but I think anyone could see themselves in these songs! mickyfitz808
