lyrics

In the morning when you drop your feet down to the floor
push yourself a'stumbling to the bathroom door
your face in the mirror doesn't look so fine
splash some water on it 'cause you're out of time

As you hop into the car and turn the crank
Listen to the sputter from the fumes in the tank
It's being held together by duct tape and hope
'Bout a few dozen miles it's hit the end of the rope

But still
- it seems the sun is pushing through the fog
Still
- this shit ain't never gonna keep you down
I've got it down as a fact
that there's no one or nothing left to hold you back

As you stumble through the motions that pass the day
Instinct tells you that you're pissing it all away
Man, your time in this prison is an albatross
Hanging heavy round your neck as each day is lost

On the freeway home each car is busy getting gone
And each driver stuck in traffic wants to be farther along
Every head stuck on a body stuck inside a car
Has the need to break free from exactly where they are

But still
- it seems the sun is pushing through the fog
Still
- this shit ain't never gonna keep you down
I've got it down as a fact
that there's no one or nothing left to hold you back

All down the streets as you get closer to home
They are lined with trees in the evening sun
And the church bells ring from their tower
High above the mess below

Across the lawns birds weave in an out of bushes
And the bugs will dart and hide from their prying eyes
This is the way it's always been
the way it's always gonna be

Another morning as you drop your feet down to the floor
And you push yourself a'stumbling for another day more
This is how you get it done, man
It's been this way since time began

As you're heading out the door to face this down
You're an old prize fighter in for another round
Man, it's one more bout where you take it on the chin
And have another chance chance to swing back now and again

But still
- it seems the sun is pushing through the fog
Still
- this shit ain't never gonna keep you down
I've got it down as a fact
that there's no one or nothing left to hold you back

about

Peter Fedofsky Seattle, Washington

Well, I'm in love with The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Nilsson, early Bee Gees, oh, I love love solo McCartney and The Zombies and etc. I record in my house and don't pay attention to having awesome gear or making everything picture perfect. I just want it to be 1965 again, so no need to get hyper about using the latest doo-dad or production flim-flam.

Let's enjoy silly pop music together, shall we?
