Shaun David - Phone Booths
Bare as Bone Volume 1
Last Stop Records 2012
Written by Shaun David Milella 9/5/11
a song about lots of things ... a "stream of consciousness" tune...
lyrics
understand me when i tell you please leave, you've got your candy, size you up to your knees, ask your body why do you bleed, from what you told me it seems to fit your needs, so were looking always for a something clever, leaning on some sort of remedy, bit a few times but it's next to never, i've got a short term memory, seems your lucky got your folks and their green, something stuck with me while living beneath my means, i know your story, there's more to you than your scream, the old oak tree protects me from your gleam, i've got suspicions you've got hidden ammunition underneath those mittens your gripping something spinning so fast, bypass, these doubts that don't last, retract your comment about my past, cause they went the same way, they bent the same rules, they choose clues that lead to empty phone booths, i told you, nobody knows the things that hold you, you've made decisions based on certain premonitions given that your mission is kissing pretty girls from way back, rehash, those straws that broke back, find you a place, get off my lap, cause they make the same pay, they went to same schools, they choose clues that lead to empty phone booths
