about

An acoustic version of Atlanta. My wife told me Atlanta was the coolest song I ever came up with, so I decided to record it again, this time different and with some extra lyrics.

lyrics

Casper was a friendly motorcycle,
And I have an apartment.
26 pictures on the wall.
Do you have a place where I can plug my breakfast in
To let it charge up?
I'm singin' a song about America!
I'm singin' a song about guitars.
I'm singin' a song about t-shirts.
How many days are you taking a quiz?
Will you light up
That plastic cup?
Putting a sticker on your automobile,
Putting a sticker in your hat.
Get that hamburger out of your hair!
Get that hamburger out of your hair!
Get that hamburger out of your hair!
I'm running out of large books,
And I'm running out of definitions for my homework,
And I'm running out of sunglasses,
And I'm running out of yearbooks.
I'm just another doorbell
Out on the street
Buying slices of pizza for everyone that I meet.
Oh no!
What are you trying to say?
Do you think this album is great?
Or is it just gray?
Or is it orange?
Or is it like a video game
That you play?
Can you install this software?
Guess what I bought last week?
You’ll never guess, ha
Unless you’ve heard this song before
I bought a magician in an aerosol can!
Just spray a little bit and you'll see what happens.
You will calculate numbers just like that,
And you will eat toast all day long.
And you will play new games,
About eating bagels.
This is the part of the acoustic version of this song
Where I just create some extra lyrics
I would like to dedcicate it to the harmonica that I never play.
Guess what? My wife just sneezed in the other room
And just because I sang that she’s gonna chase after me with a broom
Oh no, I better run, I better hide
16 piece beverage set
On the border between Switzerland and China
Photo album
Convoluted story about fireplaces
Was that good, or did it suck?

about

10,000 Lakes Texas

10,000 Lakes began in 1993, as a solo project using a Casio SA-7, a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, and completely random lyrics recorded onto a tape recorder. The style has mostly stayed the same, except for a change in keyboard to a CA-110, and pro mic's and a mixer. Chopstick shoes. My belt buckle rented someone else's cupcake remedy. ... more
