FAWM 50/90 2022 Song 28
written and recorded on August 7, 2022

I was trying to write a "Chill" song, and this is what happened. I'll get there someday.

Korg SV-1 stage piano, '52 Tele, Rickenbacker 4003s bass, Grandad's antique parlour guitar, Tama Club Jam kit, Eventide Space

lyrics

Aurora Borealis underneath my skin
On a bus that's North of Dallas
On our way to West Berlin
I wonder if you'll come and see my show?

Another faulty atlas turns me all around
Inside a wooden palace buried underground
I found this ticket, oh, so long ago

I don't believe that this road will ever end
These bucket seats might be my only friends

Maybe there's another king that I should behead
The kingdom is on fire and the Queen is in her bed
The peasantry has overruled the land

The trains run underground
And mostly are on time
The minstrels playing in the cars
Are looking for a dime
There are no rules that I can understand

There are a million songs to fill my life today
There are a million suns that I can burn away

I don't believe that this road will ever end
These bucket seats might be my only friends

The trees are hiding rumors that the dogs have gone to war
I wonder if it started because the pigs demanded more
But a pretty dress and lipstick won't deceive

Chaos is the noise where songs and stories begin
On that bus just North of Dallas
On the way to West Berlin
I wonder, will you try and make believe?

There are a million suns that I can burn away
There are a million songs to fill my life today
