lyrics

My doctor told me I’ve got a case of the seasonal blues
But winter don’t last that long
My doctor told me I could use some time in the sun
Some equatorial living
But my six string sounds like an old church organ From the gothic times
And when I walk away the melody haunts me over a Chorus of wind chimes
Leaving me wondering

CHORUS
When did my starry careless nights
Following primal appetites
Stop morphing into sunny carefree mornings
After this starry careless night
Inhibitions are returning
Can someone please tell me what it is I’m mourning

My friends tell me I used to be just a little more fun
Just a little more willing
To let those electron beams permeate my eyes through the hostile static
Now cello playing in the basement is where I want to be
Avoiding the eyes of the prisoners I could set free
Chains clanging that melody

My teacher taught me to reduce all actions to animal instinct
Let evolution kill the magic
Watching them all hop away from their nests with their
feigned broken wings
Fending off predatory glances with alert and stone-cold faces
Primal survival filling all these empty head spaces
No time for wondering

CHORUS
