Boppy little tune with a sorta jazz meets country lilt.
My staging ground for ideas I'm working on... Likely to be lots of stuff in various stages of completion. It will run the gamut, too - from experimental/abstract electronica to straight-ahed pop, proggish-rock to spoken word.

Story behind the song
Just two different ideas that popped out of my head in two separate self-jams. Putting them together and probably record under the Bootlickers [www.thebootlickers.com]
Lyrics
Tell me are there words I could say That would change your world for a day Maybe I could write a song That would rid the world of wrong Oh with a tune that everybody knows Maybe I could write a play That would give you center stage Bring up the light and star in your own show I know you think you're doing what's right - Making up demons - so fight your fight And I wish that I could help you along But I can't be perfect - not for very long Show me all the things I could do That would paint your world a brighter hue If the world turned upside down Would it change that constant frown Or would you smile just to change it back If you ruled the world someday Would we live in love and faith? Or would we fight - trapped here in your past? I hear the words that come out your mouth But what you don't say? It's just as loud. Holding so tight to something that's gone He doesn't care. Can't you learn to move on? Maybe the stars will align Maybe our worlds will collide Maybe some day you'll be right But not tonight Read me all the lies to repeat That would make your world seem complete Maybe I could be the one Who would be your morning sun All through the night - with the moon here at your side Maybe I could be the guy Who would give up all his life Oh for some peace Just spread my arms out wide.
