lyrics

let down your hair, girl
so I can get to know ya
it's so easy now that winter is summer
write down your thoughts now
cause I would love to read them
on a long plane-ride away from here

I know the reason you're all alone
I get the feeling you're just no fun
you said you feel like you're the product of a rape


I can't forget, no, I can't remember
I'm alone here with you and I
oh, B.C., V.D., A.D.H.D., I.V., A.C., I see T.V. giving candy to your kids

no peace for the all alone
will I learn when I'm far from home
that calm is earned through this life of flesh and bone?

people, all, come on!
lead me short and narrow
I'm the king of nothin' goin on
you're the queen of gallows
people, all, come on!
artificial sunshine!
I can't seem to stall the coming shot
though, you don't hear the dead whine

just a little bit of time ago
I was a boy, and barely did I notice
the howl of centuries of men who came before

I am sad enough to drink
I am full of cum and ink
there is not much more to know

people, all, come on!
lead me short and narrow
I'm the king of nothin' goin on
you're the queen of gallows
people, all, come on!
livin' like it's all fine
she has got the eyes of half her age
though, you don't hear the dead whine

let down your hair, girl
so I can get to know ya
I can't climb your new haircut

I know the reason you're all alone
I get the feelin' you're just no fun
you said you feel like you're the product of a rape

Jim From The Moon image

Jim From The Moon Los Angeles, California

At times Jim from the Moon plays acoustic tunes about girls, the devil, and similar distractions. They flow in the vein of Loudon Wainwright III and Neil Young, sung with a voice soaked in years of Irish storytelling. Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with heavy, psychedelic sounds. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears... ... more
