“The Thinking Man's Party Band...one of the best violinists I've ever seen."
Victor Bonderoff - The Vancouver Sun

 

     

Underground

(Semaka/Lewis/Nordstrom)

A song about being addicted to making art
and the struggle to keep the band going and growing.

Creating a moment
out of nothing at all
I’m alone in a dream world
where the dinosaurs fall
every building a mural
every light bulb a flame

And to hang onto one girl
is as easy as fame

 

Reinventing the shoe string
out of nothing but drive
I’m a bull in a veal cage
surprised I’m alive
Every thank you a banquet
every dancer a light
And to hang onto this one
will be my drive tonight

 

No make-up, no light show
Nobody taking care of sound
No limo, no label
No one hears you underground

 

When you’re moving a mountain
but you can’t find the mole
Escape in your musing
while I’m diggin’ my hole
Every argument a melody
every incubus soothed
And holding onto your beauty
is as simple as you

 

CHORUS

 

They say I was born smirking
sardonic and . . . weird
Still lost in that daydream
supernormal feared
Every corner a playground
no one’s ever alone
I’m a prince in a sandbox
while the neighbors play Stones

 

CHORUS
