Say all the obvious observations and half-assed puns.
I’ll sit outside and smoke, tap on the table and laugh at your jokes.
I can be patient can be careful. I can be less than a handful.
One day you’ll have a pretty picture of me up on your mantle.
Lackluster living rooms, black in the carpets and come over soon.
Two screens and one dim lamp eyes looking between your face and your lap.
Sometimes I worry, fingers shaking can’t feel my body
wrapped up in mania.
I pace the house I need a hobby.
But all the cars go nowhere
the headlights pass my window
all the ghosts in the houses
were just like me but now their voices echo.
Say it’s all understood, wish I could focus and know that I should.
You’re on the telephone batting your lashes and zipping your coat.
And then I’m walking home it’s pouring and my roommates’ smiling
We light a candle and I wonder if it’s saying something.
But all the cars go nowhere
The headlights pass my window
Motors just like heartbeats
and mine is ready it pounds heavy let me go.
This machine is pretty ‘til it gets on the road and perfect in the showroom
Creaky when you set in it motion.
Spit-shined, designed for comfort I try to soul search but
nobody can give me those answers.
My sea legs finally hold me but I’m standing lonely,
it’s not exactly what I was hoping for.
I still can’t swim but all I see's an ocean.
Lobby Boy’s songs stir up images and contemplation. Listening is like remembering someone else’s memories. Like I’m homesick for somebody else’s home; or nostalgic for a place I never even lived. The lyrics resonate and the music embraces. Fresh and relatable. LORE! should have broad appeal to anyone navigating the hard and soft edges of life. Marty Wilson (openstrings)
