Shine Shine – a journey through the strange world that is my head

This was originally written as an instrumental, but I am starting to finish some lyrics for these releases.  This will be on the second album which will be released later this year.

LYRICS

I see the future, in all its glory
My droid has green eyes, his name is Henry
If I had a buffalo nickel for every time
My dreams collided with stark reality
I’d buy a super yacht and sail it
Around the seven seas then right back home.
I’d take a breath and try to calculate my fate.
And hope I don’t end up like Sharon Tate

Shine when others tell you
that the world we know
is a ball of confusion
Shine

Maybe I will ponder, calculate and scheme
I’ll find a way to capture joy
synthesize it in a jar
and maybe I’ll get Henry to do all the work.
In case of failure or despair
Take a generous spoonful from my jar

And keep on dancing
with great abandon
Don’t let them see you
Just keep on tapping
Mommas little baby will never cry
Mommas little baby would rather die

Just keep on shining
There’s a silver lining

(Momma’s little baby will never cry
Momma’s little baby would rather die.)

Shine when others tell you
that the world we know
is a ball of confusion
Shine
