lyrics

it's midnight by the pool at the Tropicana
underneath a firework sky
I may only have change and some mints in my pocket
but I am going to drink this bar dry
there's cigar smoke and gunpowder filling up the air
and you can't move round here for Hawaiian shirts
some come for the gambling but stay for the women
and others are just here for the dirt

and it's rare in this town that they hold hands
so when they do you feel the whole world change
and there's nothing romantic about concrete
no matter how the plastic palms are arranged
but for a moment at dusk at red rock
I thought that maybe we had broken through
and if there's anyone on earth I'd want to share that with
then baby that someone is you

the band loosen their bowties
and then they take their complimentary one for the road
the stand up comic got a standing ovation
even though none of the audience showed
and the wind hits your skin like gravel
when you find yourself north of the strip
outside a gun & liquor warehouse with barred up windows
you took a wrong turn somewhere on this trip

and it's rare round here to find honesty
so when you do you feel the whole world change
and there's nothing romantic about the desert
it's just lonely and lost and strange
but for a moment at dusk at red rock
I thought that maybe we had broken through
and if there's anyone on earth I'd want to share that with
then baby that someone is you

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
