lyrics

Words Escape Me (open D capo 5 - key of G)
I need to see your luring hands
Your wild eyes to understand
I need to see your crude hair curl
Clip the ribbon and it unfurls
I need to see for myself

I need to feel your urgent skin
To fathom the mood you put me in
I need to feel my hand yours in
The fever that lies therein
I need to feel for myself

Words escape me
There's nothing I can say
Words escape me
They easily slip away

I need to hear your earthy voice
To realize I have no choice
I need to hear your mortal song
To light the night where I went wrong
I need to hear for myself

The only words I've found
Make these sounds
They easily slip
They easily slip
They easily slip
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
