or... the utter enormity of the task

what follows is already a new jeebus song - we're in a very productive period right now. and it looks like we'll have a gig in may at old town pub, a new venue for us.

Shamble On (Getting Over on the Under)

Taking stairs two at a time
Cracked his shin at the top but he’s feeling fine
His ascension is invention, y’know he tries to climb
Up from the dirt and the dust and the grit and the grime
His smile is star spangled but his spirit is in shambles
He’s been here and gone for so very long
He’d gamble and he’d ramble if it was something he could handle
Instead he sings torch songs and tries to belong

It’s always near the end of the week
When the sun is sinking and he’s wishful thinking technique
There were 4 months there where he could barely speak
Now he’s blinking away the years slowly drinking the creek
There are holes in his jeans he drinks too much caffeine
He takes care of the dogs from up the road
Waving to his neighbors trying hard not to belabor
His own strange and unspoken moral code

To someone else it’s one big mess
This is what you get when you miss the show
So honey put on that evening dress
And if you don’t want him let him know

There’s dust on the television screen
The coffee table is unstable the magazines obscene
He’s been smoking toking weed since he was nineteen
Getting over on the under somewhere in between
He plays guitar when he’s bored he knows six chords
When he thinks about them they’re all the same
He’d feel more cunning if he could just see it coming
But he was never really good at this game

Sometimes the stars will sink low, low enough to know
That the night will arrive just a little too slow
In the heat of deep sleep he’ll murmur a hushed hello
And slowly groan as he atones it out of his bones
He forgot what he came here to do too soon
But it’s all right, it’s okay, it’s just fine
In the morning he’ll rise wipe the sleep from his eyes
And go to work at a quarter to nine

To someone else it’s one big mess
This is what you get when you miss the show
So honey put on that evening dress
And if you don’t want him let him know

link o' the day:

say what you will about actors involving themselves in political causes, but george clooney is doing good work, plain and simple. he recently visited darfur, and is getting senators to listen to him regarding the atrocities in that region. check it out.
