lyrics

You can run until you’re out of breath.

You can jump until your face turns red.
My head hurts trying to know
which way to go.

It’s a simple movement in
a direction I’ve never been.
That’s where I want to go.

I want to see insides.
Show them to me.
I want to see insides of everything.

I‘m not the king of pointland,
so why try for that kind of bliss.
I’m configured to miss
the point which is all is connectedness.

But I’m not a king, or even a point,
so the point is moot.
My desire to aspire is acute.

What if the movement is no movement at all.
What if the trick is to be still until there’s nowhere to go.

Then we could see insides.
Show them to me.
I want to see insides of everything.

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
