about

On the beach, but Michmoret instead of Ein Gev.
Trying to go the Dylan, me as the cavalier artist bum.

Even Gatsby was a cherubic vessel of light once ( the shot is me, age 2 days, with the hospital tag still on my chubby little wrist)

lyrics

Adorn yourself in shine
and catch the morning quirk
living for a brood of 5
and fitting in the work
at the end of the day
you look around your hole
did you get very far
lost your soul on the greasy pole

Absolved of all your guilt
in the afternoon's embrace
in your cups by the beach
unashamed and off your face
then the phone starts to ring
and desperate duty calls
with your world in deep shit
and not much room left to fall

Attach a small white lie
to every pigeon sent
making sure the money flows
even if the truth is bent
as you fall in to bed
the halo's looking grey
and the last thing she said
"did you sell some dreams today?"

" I don't want you to stress
but we're down to our last cent
though my parents traced the call
the hostage money's gone and went
come down you silly boy
it's blue skies all the way
i'll buy you another toy
you'll be so glad you stayed"
