about

I wrote this song after going to a retirement party at work. In it, I play trumpet, acoustic guitar (hooked to a delay pedal), cajon, cabasa, and crash symbol. Also, multiple lyrics. I layer all tracks on top of each other.

lyrics

Blind man, he's staring at the wall.
The bar keep's seen enough tonight.
Pink lady stretching tights.
Alright.

Her son is masking discontent.

He's eight years, sitting at the bar.
His mother's spitting out commands.

The bar keep's filling up the cups!
Okay!

Nixon news on the table.
The telegraph broadcasts clear tonight.
I got myself a job today.
Something, it's called the EPA.

Establish propositions,
axioms of contradiction,
theory stating rules,
abstracted thoughts of
Mathematics!

Topology and analysts,
systems-level thinking,
extract the networks!

It's not an act of congress.
Branching executively,
she's not a cosmo girl:
no more.
Picked up a pyrex beaker,
dosing rats with some chemical,
their brains chaulk full of data.
Dissect tissues tonight.
That's great.

Pink lady's found her calling.

Blind man stairs at them through the wall.
The bar keep's seen a lot today.
Pink lady stretching tights.
Oh man!
