lyrics

A professional turns up on Wednesday afternoons
An amateur, however, is a lover
If you don't get want you want, do you go ahead with the picture
What do you want to be, what kind of failure

We come in with only our overnight bags and go out with nothing
Listen I want to tell you I want to tell you something
If you build a monument when you are young
Eventually they're gonna bury you under it
I cannot swear that it's true
I cannot swear that it's true

Do you remember what the Seine was like when you could stroll along it
Another great place to take the wrong girl
There are more clairvoyants in Paris than any city in the world
Four clairvoyants for every doctor

We come in with only our overnight bags and go out with nothing
Listen I want to tell you I want to tell you something
You can walk around on stilts
But you're still walking on your feet
I cannot swear that it's true
I cannot swear that it's true

You have to be prepared for any situation
When you run your rough cut for the critics
Extraordinary people with their gargoyle laugh
Like creatures on the front of a cathedral

We come in with only our overnight bags and go out with nothing
Listen I want to tell you I want to tell you something
You're finally here at the end of the world
And there is nothing here
I cannot swear that it's true
I cannot swear that it's true
I cannot swear that it's true

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
