lyrics

WIRES ON HER HEART

They put wires on her heart when they sent her to the stars
Just a lost little stray from the streets snatched by science tsars
She’s with me when our spaceship glides down rusty wires
Crash land laughing in the mud in the field by the glassworks fires

I should have told her everything
Stories of my life, she wore like dime-store rings
My mother lying in bed, trying to turn just another page
Drifting away like Laika, drifting away

It hurts so bad when they dump you in convenient places on your own
Downstairs on a pull-out bed or up on the roof looking down
Maybe that’s what Laika thought as the world got so small
and Mom surrounded by her dusty books in the stillness down the hall

I should have told her everything
Stories of my life, she wore like dime-store rings
My mother sick in bed, struggling to turn one more page
Drifting away like Laika, drifting away

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
