Tigroid Substance as "Jasmyn Shaw" 03-06-10

The beginning was missing (camera troubles), so I included a segment of my original demo track (from 2006) where it would have been. Won 1st in the college division... there were only 2 of us, and we were pretty evenly matched, with very different performances. Was quite fun.

Lyrics (by JjhS):

I got dropped-off at the airport convention
the receptionist had failed to mention
that I had to leave by quarter-past ten
or they wouldn't ask me back again

Well, I didn't have my passport
or any kind of credentials
and I didn't know my maiden name...
left my fingerprints back at the hotel
didn't have a thing to claim!

Oh, but the green grass grows all around
tell me, baby, what have you found?
I'm a child of the summer-
won't be hangin' with your necktie crowd

I was sittin' in a nearby diner
I met a trucker with a cheap one-liner
he said "It's a good thing that your flight is late"
I just ignored him, ordered, and I ate

Well, they opened-up my suitcase
and they dumped-out all my notebooks
and insisted that my innocence was feigned
found no information to back-up their suspicions
so they wouldn't let me on the plane

Oh, we'll be dancin' in our converse shoes
I know, and, baby, what can ya do?
We're the craziest people-
that we ever knew.
