Blusher



A new tune I wrote today. I feel a little bad about it though. I missed seeing Sex God (Baron Shame) and No One and the Sombodies play at wespac. I drank beers with them instead and played my first ever game of guitarmageddon.

Until the evening ends
the fish said to the oyster in the bay
We'll dance and laugh and kiss
and both feel blessed that we are still alive
When the fishermen wake up
The skittish nature of our scaly friend
will make those hours crouch to minutes
and the waiting game begins
dare to leave the cave
stay by your bride
nets will descend to catch them both, but on their own
then bite the line

A menace maybe, more than likely
dreams are waking to walk about
put them back to bed and crawl ashore
Only a dream, only in dreams
Blushing, puffer fish.

Growing all the time
glowing like a star inside the brine
'I will swallow you'
The last thing she heard before she died

The cookpot bubbled over
the people couldn't watch
the fish had lept from ocean
to occupy their plates and thoughts
The oyster cooked to flame
and when they all were full
a phoenix rose, and took her flight with all his bones

Only a dream, only in dreams
Blushing, puffer fish.

Adam Mcheffey and I were driving down Venice Blvd. yesterday and we had some serious radio ADHD issues since the radio stations here suck, and then we heard this song on the radio that sounded exactly like you and we listened to the whole thing because it was really good and we thought it might be you, so was it you? Do you have songs playing on the radio in LA? Maybe you have a singing doppleganger...

Anyway, I really like this song.
