Last night they done caught me, tryin’ to direct my dreams. I had one where I was writing a book called “Tree Street,” where a man from outer space came and vanished, without a trace. I’d based it on this old unexplained crime involving two good ol’ boys who’d seen this strange dude near their ice cream van. He appears one night on Elm & Oak Street, struttin’ proud, like a hard-up hen ‘cluckin loud in a barred-up pen.
They sauntered up slow, saying, “Stranger? Somethin’ wrong?”
See, ev’ry lick of his lips was just a cry for sugar, and every flick of his wrists meant “My Throat Is Dry!” And ev’ry wink of his eye meant “Heavens help me!”
And in an ice cream van they made our Spaceman cry.
They said “Mister, you don’t come from round here, do ya?”
“Look here, Mister, gonna call you Miss. Understood?”
“Ain’t that you ‘neath the mission bell?”
“Ain’t you cruisin’ the wishing well?”
“Just who do you think you are?”
“You gettin’ scared? Am I sending chills all over your body?”
See, ev’ry lick of his lips was just a cry for sugar, and every flick of his hips meant “Throat Is Dry!” And ev’ry wink of his eye meant “Stars, Come Help Me!”
And in an ice cream van they made our Spaceman cry.
WOW this album grew on me fast. My favorite track changes frequently. Step into the Sunshine is brilliantly sinister, Memory disappears beautiful and melancholy. Right now Rare Bird is an amazing unicorn chaser. jbclements
This is an incredibly Good Psuedo 80s Vibe, Rock ballad album
Worthy of being thrown into an 80s mix and almost fooling someone to think it was written back then sweatytyler
