2012-01-12 - Mystery Cut (Acoustic)

An acoustic performance of the song, Mystery Cut, with my band Confab (http://www.confabband.com). Just a short 10 min set up. Yes, we recorded this in a bedroom with no lighting, haha. Cut me a break, it was an impromptu session.

Lyrics:

He blacked out I'm looking down at the map
Trying to recall where I'm at
The last time I checked the clock it was 8:13 and I was young.
And now I've lost my shoe
I kissed a girl from Peru
and I don't know where we lost touch, I'd buy you a drink but I can't buy lunch

Chours:
I'm like an erotic book that you can't put away
I am the line on the page
I'm like a melodic hook in your fish filet
A wrinkle on your brain.

He blacked out and I've been hit by a car
Not too hard, not too far
I'm bleeding from my head and I don't know where I got this scar
And now I'm on the roof of an apartment that I've never been to
But I've got lots of friends with lots of use
and you can't make a mistake when you can't choose

Chorus:
I'm like a ticking bomb that you just can't snooze
I am the burning fuse
I'm like a rib-sticking song that you can't refuse
I am the delta blues

Bridge:
I breathe so hard you can taste my lungs
and I'm in every train that you ride on
The goal is high and the road is long
But I am more than flesh and bone... I hope.

He black out and I've lost two of my teeth
They're in the back and just out of reach
And my eye has swelled shut and I've slowly lost my use for speech
And I've admitted defeat about the time I've fallen asleep
Without a clue as to my name or street
I just blacked out and I hit repeat

Chorus:
I'm like a pulsing gun with death just underneath
I am a candidate's speech
I'm like your wildest dreams that you won't live to see
I am a puppet regime

He blacked out.
