lyrics

i wish i had told her all before i lost my strength
helpful to compare wheneer you're shy about your length
it's not like the dog sent into space to starve and die
sometimes some things happen and there's not use wonderin' why
mama did not always understand the things i did
in my life as a kid

i was sent away from home to live among the stars
boxing with a tomboy i soon learned to love my scars
but when she took her shirt off i did not know what to say
i feared for my innocence and had to run away
this girl opened up the bottle, threw away the lid
in my life as a kid

i climbed to the top of the sculptor's studio
fell into his model's arms with no place else to go

in the end i made some friends and broke my bad luck ways
through the glass i scratched my past and fell on better days
it's helpful to compare wheneer despair makes you feel sad
and think of all the tragedies that you have never had
fate is like an auction and i had to make my bid
in my life as a kid

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
