turning your orbit around

or... the utter enormity of the task

more new lyrics

this one was rhythmically inspired by an animal liberation orchestra song. don't have a chord progression yet for it, but i'm trying for something rhythmic and funky (timmy, any ideas?).

I never learn but I don’t mind

Fight the light and get out of bed
Try to grab hold of all that shit in your head
Sit up get your feet planted firmly on the floor
Remember what it is that you woke up for
Out the door down the stairs and into the car
The sky’s warming up but there’s still a few stars
Throw the pack in the back and turn on some tunes
Squeeze in somewhere between the sun and the moon
Down the street out of town and over the hill
There’s no breeze and the leaves are totally still
Look down valley at the fields of hay
Think of all the things that you wish you could say
Bugs hit the window and leave a mark
Your points were dirty but now you got a spark
It’s time to strike out for some time of your own
Time to turn off the phone and get some time alone

Looking out for number two
That means you (x2)

Over the pass and down the other side
Take your foot off the gas for that easy glide
Leaves are yellow and the creeks are cold
Neil Young’s still searching for a heart of gold
In a couple of miles you’ll make up your mind
North or south which way to what you need to find
It doesn’t really matter which way you turn
In either direction there are bridges to burn
But there are bridges to build and bridges to cross
Work hard love your girl go easy on the sauce
All you need is just a little bit of time
A few hundred miles and a few dozen rhymes
And in the end you return the same way you went
Dumber and smarter with your heart a little bent
Turn the key walk in through that front door
Determined to end your quiet little war

Looking out for number two
That means you (x2)
