turning your orbit around

or... the utter enormity of the task

new song

folks,

got a new song. the verse/prechorus is all set (a simple tweedyesque walk down from D to G with Bm F#m G as the prechorus), but i have no idea what to do for the main chorus. oh well, it'll come.

Imaginary Eulogies

-V.1-
Driving round
Sooty snowy streets downtown
I’m thinking about going underground
And I don’t know which is worse
Panic or pleasure
The music or the measure
Of this dirty melody we just found

-V.2-
Twelve degrees
Snow in the air like buzzing bees
Sidewalk litanies of car keys
And blinkers blink red
Stoplights turn green
A passenger pondering
Imaginary eulogies

-Chorus-
Brick walls pockmarked and scarred
Just another passing of the guard
Cover half the distance in twice as far
Just another passing of the guard

-V.3-
A frozen stream
Regret in the air like geyser steam
Half pint flask of bourbon Jim Beam
And this bench is cold metal
These papers water-stained
It’s these gestures that we feign
All scored by Coltrane’s Love Supreme

-Chorus-
Brick walls pockmarked and scarred
Just another changing of the guard
Cover half the distance in twice as far
Just another changing of the guard

-Outro-
Imaginary eulogies
Given away for free
