lyrics

I was a wretched man boy
I didn't mind my manners
I was a locomotive
running out of time
I played like Casanova
Groping in the darkness
No one taught me etiquette
Or how to toe the line
When you were a princess and I was a bum
I was good for nothing I couldn't even strum

I was alone a long time
I drank a lot of red wine
I bumped against some forces and I rattled someone’s nerves
When I found a true love it was truly unexpected
When I found that true love it was more than I deserved
When you were a princess and I was a bum
I was good for nothing I couldn't make you strum
When I was a just a wormboy wriggling in the flames
I thought I'd live for ever and nothing 'd even change.
I was more like a zombie
And less like a playboy
Everything seemed like a waste
Then one day light shining brightly
Struck me with those brilliant rays

If you prefer to slither
Your conscience might just wither
You might find a forked tongue became so commonplace
If you find a new way
You may emerge and one day
All those vile conditions
Could simply fade away
When she was a monarch
And I was her slave
Her gifts were simply perfect
I met her face to face
Fills my heart with gladness
And finally made me free
Banished all my madness
With love eternally
When you were a goddess
I was just a knave
You were an empress
I was just a slave
You were a geisha
I was just a man
It wasn't just for nothing
But part of someone's plan

brick bosso Los Angeles, California

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
