lyrics

I don't believe in magic
I'm not a fool, no
It wasn't always this tragic
In fact, the wind used to rescind
At the flick of my wrist, but
the Earth is loose on its axis
And it will no longer do to stem the tilt
Since the second-hand news broke that
I'm no longer fit to be loved
If they only knew what I know, that
All our bets are off

I want to let it happen
Plunge into the green
This shallow maintenance
Won't lay it's taint on me
Not me!

I was reared as a theory
And I'm a beautiful one
But they don't theories seriously here
So if I'm just a dream, that's what I'll be
Since the second-hand news broke that
I'm no longer fit to be loved
If they only knew what I know now
All our bets are off

I want to let it happen
Get raped by the reeds
This god-darn doggerel won't doggone girdle me
Not me!

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
