about

This one took a while to, it plays on Eastern religion, specifically Chuang Tsu.

lyrics

Eatin' at me all the time,
These fixations of my mind
and there I lay, awakened late at night

There's no candle by my bedside.
No journal in which to confide.
but the words they burn sufficiently bright.

I've got a wine box full of pages
Books of wisdom through the ages
will I get my chance to live again,

When I wake in the morning with blues sailing round my head
Am I a buttery that's dreamin' or a hungry moth instead?

I would never doubt you.
I love a hundred things about you.
We all have days we're itching for a fight.

You just get my mind to stirring
Start the lines to blurring
And I'll Capture all the musings without light.
So When these instruments won't serve me and
Musicians just unnerve me
Girl you know I've got you in my sights,
When I wake up in the morning with blues flying round my bed
I hope I'm not some butterfly that's dreamin'
and you're lying there instead

The band brings these stories to life with the spontaneity of jazz, and the rough-hewn, bare-bones tone of backwoods rhythm and bllues. ... more
