My muse is clearly on Tokyo time.
After midnight, a switch flicks and I start writing like a crazy person.
This is rather inconvenient.
I should be sleeping for class tomorrow morning. I didn't sleep much the last few nights, either. But the song! Lyrics flowing like broken beads. Drums, glockenspiel, and a decent bit of the piano chords--already figured out in my head. (That never happens!) I just hope I don't forget before I get a chance to play it...
Actually, a good bit of the lyrics already existed (in a very fragmented form) in a little text file called "a half page of scribbled lines." I went to add another line I'd just thought of around 1 AM...and everything ASPLODED.
(jungle drumming echo after each of the verse lines)
I melted my guitar today
Tryin' to pickup the pieces yesterday
What am I gonna do with you?
(two glockenspiel notes at the beginning of each phrase)
Goin' out to meet hell in a suit and tie
Love in a windowbox, Lucy in the sky
What am I gonna do with you?
(Very classic rock-esque bridge)
Cause he's comin'
Yeah, he comin'
Oh, my lovin'
Loving why?
Oh, how he makes me crazy (x2)
Watch yourself inherit this
A radio song, a psychotherapist
What am I gonna do with you?
Reaching for your voice around every corner
Down the back of the couch and out the door
What am I gonna do with you?
Cause he's comin'
Yeah, he comin'
Oh, my darlin'
Tell me why?
Oh, how he makes me crazy (x2)
Everyone is standing still
Till they prescribe another pill
What am I gonna do with you?
Kindly distant tyranny
Hueco proves you, QED
What am I gonna do with you?
And I'll wait
However many times that it takes you to learn (x4) (x2)
I can hear it in my head...
I also finished writing a song idea that's been sitting around since this summer. It's totally hot. I'll leave the lyrics as a surprise, but to give you an idea of the hotness: it makes multiple references to Godel Escher Bach. Damn straight.
SLEEP! NEEDED! GOING NOW!
