lyrics

There’s a homeless thought standing on the corner of my brain
Trying to find my heart, begging me for change
And the only things I’ve changed are the locks on my doors
Even I don’t have the key anymore

We’re all weathering the same storm in completely different boats
Roadkill on shoulder ahead, don’t forget to vote
I went looking for invention, daughter of necessity
Maybe she could invent something out of me

Glow glow glow
November’s embers
Halley’s Comet made it to the moon
And I try and I try
To be someone’s scarecrow
If I only had a clue

With an unfinished smile that makes love the villain
I’ll write about the world like a third wheeling Bob Dylan.
Traveling on the low road just to find our higher truth
Out of all this useless brutal youth

Glow glow glow
November’s embers
Davy Dee said goodbye to the Goons
And I try and I try
To be someone’s scarecrow
If I only had a clue

Got a frosty reception at the snowmen’s jamboree
Wish I had reason to hide but no one’s looking for me
And I couldn’t be the victim of a worse tragedy
And I am my own worst empathy

Glow glow glow
November’s embers
Halley’s Comet made it to the moon
And I try and I try
To be someone’s scarecrow
If I only had a clue

With granulated years sprinkled on a birthday cake
I reflect upon the choice between the chances left to take
And what is left is rarely right and what is rare is rightly left
And what is chosen is best kept to yourself

Adrian Bourgeois Burbank, California

"Just when a tune has ingratiated itself into your memory, in the way the kind of pop music does that inspires one to whistle, the melody sweeps upward, turning and dancing in that unpredictable way that a flock of birds does when it moves toward the sun." (SN&R)
"Lush with strings, angelic harmonies and melodies that swoop and soar like a hook-laden roller coaster"(Sacramento Bee)
