lyrics

I'm gonna burn up just like a rocket
Take out a bullet put it in my pocket
Givin me a fork, stick it in the socket
Don't you know I'm burning just like a rocket

And I don't know where you're goin'
And I don't know where you been
And I don't know why you stay out late at night
Maybe I'll know when you're gone

I'm gonna burn up just like a pyre
Givin' me your fuel, add it to my fire
Losin' all your lovin' gettin' no desire
Don't you know I'm burning just like a pyre

And I don't know what you're thinkin'
And I don't know what's the plan
And I don't know anything at all
Baby why don't you give me a hand?

I'm gonna burn up just like a rocket
Take out a bullet put it in my pocket
Givin me a fork, stick it in the socket
Don't you know I'm burning just like a rocket

Editor's note: this is the first song I wrote on the guitar. I tried to write it like "Cut Like a Buffalo" by the Dead Weather but the guitar had other ideas.

a book of job

John E. Miles is one of the best songwriters out there. Check out "I Went Out To the Darkness" and "Owl". His production style here is also very innovative and unique. Chris Dryfoos

its alright, im okay vol. 1
by Matthew Hall

This record will take you on a very cool trip. I love the minimalistic and highly atmospheric tone. It's like walking through a rainy forest by yourself. Just listen to a track like "Sunflower"! Chris Dryfoos

Sad Times in Romani Town
by The Romani Brothers

This record is better than the Beatles. Listen and find out for yourself. "A Serious Mess" has the greatest lyrics known to mankind. Chris Dryfoos
