FanStory.com - Song Lyrics by SimianSavant

Out of my window looking at the night
when the clock says it's mid-afternoon
starboard light out and port out of sight
the sun high as a kite
drunk on the light of the moon

You've got a feeling something's amiss
you know that I've been on your mind
ditch magic stars and make me your wish
on the moon, the new moon

You'll stay up all night, chasing the light
wishin on a missin star
til you realize who's guidin your eyes
up above the world so far

Trippin the switch inside of your mind
as you circle around the lagoon
scuttle your ship and leave it behind
seek and you'll find, leading the blind
by the moon, the new moon

Look in the mirror, I'll show you what's real
come dancing with me in the dark
drink me tonight, and I'll make you feel
the new moon: I'm the moon

We'll stay up all night, chasing the light
wondering who we are
the spark in the sky fillin your eye
watchin your every move from afar

You'll stay up all night, chasing the light
imagining things on the radar
luminal lies fillin your eyes
howl at the moon: Owooooo!

Fuel the fire with evening rising
oceans full of lunatics
hearts unfold Iike flowers before me
in the dark I rise anew

Starlight drowned in beams of Theia
tidal sirens call your name
Noah's fountain burst to slay us,
bid the sea give up its claim

Starlight drowned in beams of Theia
tidal sirens call your name
Stella Maris thy Polaris
setting shipwrecked souls aflame

Turnin you on the edge of the shore
you're feelin the pull of the waves
filled with joyful mortal madness
save us from the light of day

Author Notes
Inspired by various influences including Jim Morrison, Henry Jackson van Dyke, and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Chapter 2
Blue Sky

By SimianSavant

VERSE 1

summer skies are blue
why can't I be too
waitin' on the rain
that's overdue

strainin' for the view
everyone in queue
hidin' from the rain
is nothing new

CHORUS

no time to burn the clouds away
freeze the sun for one more day
breathe the dust out of the ground
feel the moon go round and round

VERSE 2

secrets no one knew
in eyes so green and blue
clear by day, the night
a witches' brew

blind on your debut
there's an empty pew
you're sleepin' at the wake
when we walk through

CHORUS

no time to burn the clouds away
freeze the sun for one more day
breathe the dust out of the ground
feel the moon go round and round

no one to burn the clouds away
freeze the sun for one more day
what's never lost will not be found
what's never dry cannot be drowned

dream the dead out of the ground
when the moon is round

NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR:
Song demo recording in progress -- I will send it along to those who review this when it becomes available -- it is much more powerful with the music. I just got back from a long road trip and only had time to submit the lyrics.

This song is about all the kids I grew up with who died in early adulthood from drug ODs, mainly from Chinese fentanyl. The drug epidemic claims 100,000 lives in the US every year -- that's more than all suicides and car accidents combined. Where I grew up, everyone across socioeconomic strata knows multiple people who died and families who have been destroyed by addiction. The title "Blue Sky" is a reference to the name of a methamphetamine product in the well-known TV series "Breaking Bad". The image above of the meth from the show is displayed with attribution.

[Verse]
In the jungle of concrete
The gorillas got a plan (oo-yeah!)
They're breakin' out the cages
They Gonna fuck shit up
With a mighty roar and swagger
They're on the loose tonight
(uh-huh!)
Gonna flip the script
make the humans entertain

[Verse 2]
Zookeepers in the cages
Eating their bananas
While the gorillas stroll around
Actin like they so fine (oh-yeah!)
Drinkin' from the soda fountain
Struttin' through the gate
This jungle takeover
Everybody say hiya to your new masters!

[Chorus]
Gorilla groove
It's a brand new look (uh-huh!)
Lockin' up the keepers
Show 'em how we roll (oo-yeah!)
Get down with the rhythm
Dance on yo picnic table
Gorilla groove is the thing to do

[Bridge]
We jammin' on the keyboards
and jivin' on the drums (yeah!)
Zookeepers scratch their fleas
and yell and shout
Now they our bitches
Listen to the bassline
Funk is in the air
Gorilla groove takeover
Joe Biden get the fuck out

[Verse 3]
Flippin' through the pages
Of the zookeeper's guide (read it!)
Gorillas know the secrets
They ain't gonna bow
Night comes alive
With a funky beat (oo-yeah!)
Taking over the night
Dancing til the dawn

[Chorus]
Gorilla groove
It's a brand new look (say what)
Lockin' up the keepers
Show 'em a good time (uh-huh!)
Get down with the rhythm
Dance in the zoo all night (oo-yeah!)
Gorilla groove is the thing to do
