Iphone recording from me as usual… this one goes out to all of us
Oblivious
Words/music: carroll, 2013
Welcome to the church of the unholy ghosts
The failures, the freaks the gypsy souls
City to city our whole life long
this sideshow of madness must go on
please, tell us what you believe, tell us what you think about us
you teacher, you preacher, you scholar on all things deep
please, tell us where we can go, tell us what you’ve heard about us
‘cause we didn’t know… we didn’t know, oh we’re oblivious
Welcome to the city of the formerly known
The land of unicorns and led zeppelin… (hahahahhahaha)
Your words are welcome so come as you are
Misspellings, ripped pages, ink stained arms
please, tell us what you believe, tell us what you think about us
you teacher, you preacher, you scholar on all things deep
please, tell us where we can go, tell us what you’ve heard about us
‘cause we didn’t know… we didn’t know, oh we’re oblivious
(spoken) Come on in here young man, we’ve been waiting for you
We’ve got coffee, cookies, bourbon, scotch and beeeeer.
Leave your requests at the door and your money in the jar
As we sing all the songs you are yelling to us from across the room
See that slightly dressed girl in the corner? You know she wants you… so go on over, buy her a drink and let us know what all she has to talk about! I can see it now! Your wedding day! As she tells you all the things that you think you want to hear… So sit down man! Speak below the music and pay respect where it’s due… after all this entire show is about you…right?
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
