lyrics

Where do you go when you’ve made
Citizen Kane
At the ripe old age of 25
It’s no wonder you ran off to Brazil
Got really fat and sold cheap wine

In F is for Fake
You say every story
Is pretty much a lie
You then with respect
Are a master of deceit
a master of disguise

If you want a happy ending
That depends
on where you stop your story
Me, I started at the top
And I’ve been working my way down
Such a long way down
It’s a long way down

Judging by your lunches
with Henry Jaglom
And the War of the Worlds,
You knew how to spin a yarn
And had a certain way with words

Here are some of my favorite
Things that you said in this book
“The Blue Ange
is a big piece of schlock
painted on velvet
like you buy in Honolulu”

“Irene Dunn was such
a good fucking Catholic
that I wanted to kick her
in the crotch”

War of the Worlds
Is why we have station identifications
So that you know that creepy guy walking across your field
Isn’t an alien
Is just a regular serial killer

If you want a happy ending
That depends
on where you stop your story
Me, I started at the top
And I’ve been working my way down
Such a long way down
It’s a long way down

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
