lyrics

Let me be a song singing, a dance dancing, a story telling, a life living.
Let me be a sex sexing, a fix fixing, a joke joking, a love loving.

The birds don’t care at all that life’s replete with human woes.
All the people die, it’s po-tee-weet and so it goes...

We are structured to ask why when there really is no answer.
Is it to make us feel like idiots, oh that’s right, there is no answer.
What if Kilgore trout is right about the hum and fear of cancer
The dimensions that make you sick or pregnant, oh right, there is no answer.

No answer, no answer no answer no answer
_____________________________________________

So don’t have bad sex, but if you do, don’t concentrate on it.
Concentrate on the good sex, and all the good moments…
tHat’s all we have. We are bugs, in amber,
That’s all we have. Just love and amber.
________________________________________________
Can I be a bug trapped in love?
With my old legs and my young
Can I Can I Can I can I Can I can I can I be a bug in love?

Time… there’s no spending it
It’s just suspending
Everything we know in it
Living has to happen in something
It happens in time…

What you want is not what you get
We ask questions with no answer
We’re the nuts in the nougat
We’re the bugs in the amber
Let me be a song singing, a dance dancing, a story telling, a life living.
Let me be a sex sexing, a fix fixing, a joke joking, a love loving.

No answer, no answer no answer no answer

You don’t need a delorean
Say the Tralfamadorians

If you come from tralfamador)

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
