lyrics

Should I sing a song about
The last days of summer?
Was never really young
But I used to be a little younger
People don’t get bored no more
There’s too much work to do
I don’t have time to write this song
Or verify the news

Killer drones are tracking
Our cellular phones and I
Wish I’d know things would
Be turning out this way
I’d have built a home
Out of skull and bones so I’d
Have a place to go
Just so that I could get away

Should I sing a song about
The last days of summer?
Was never really young
But I used to be a little younger
People don’t get bored no more
There’s too much work to do
I don’t have time to write this song
Or verify the news

--------

Had to sell my car
So my kids could eat
But then you know
I couldn’t get to work the next week
Saw your favorite professor last night
Sniffing glue
Gave me a message
And told me to give it to you
You can always find a room
Down by the old Turk’s Head
But you better sleep with one eye open
Or you’re liable to wake up dead again
Got a new way to make you high
Said the spider to the fly
We don’t need to grow poppy,
Just call it a pharmacy
Searching for the perfect world
Wore out all the soles of my shoes
Back to where I’d started from,
Everything looked all brand new again…


Notes:
Lyrical references and inspiration include "Who Do You Love?" by Bo Diddley, "I've Gotta New Car" by Troyce Henry Keys and J.J. Malone (similar to The Kinks' "A Gallon of Gas"), and a lot of musical inspiration from The Stooges and Nick Cave.

The Turk's Head is a reference to the inn located in West Chester, Pennsylvania; the town was originally called Turks Head until it was renamed in the late 1700's.

The Deadeyes image

The Deadeyes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Deadeyes rose from the ashes of Philadelphia’s indie soul punk band Grubstake. This violin driven 3-piece effortlessly traverses the musical genres of punk and roots-rock with tinges of soul, drawing comparisons to bands such as Yo La Tengo, The Velvet Underground, and Replacements. ... more
