the north star is shrinking
and i cannot find my home
and lately i've been thinking
that i should sell all that i own

nuclear fusion
in my heart and in my mind
i can't keep a straight face

layers of gas form
and light can't get through
then it seeps and explodes
and it all starts anew

i've been drifting
for so many years
i can't keep a straight face

have you ever smiled
at every person
you passed on the street
they all smile back
they have nothing against you
you'd be friends if you were to meet

from the loneliest beggar
to the most powerful kings
flotsam and jetsam
in the big scheme of things

the joke is on me
when i feel important
i can't keep a straight face

there's a hole in my uke
like the hole in my heart
but it makes me sing better
it makes me less hard

the core of the matter is strong
and i can't keep a straight face

Very much appreciated, thank you very much. x

[jeffbirdie]

That is deep JM. Made me flash back a second and also wonder if you will find your place. With a straight face that is. Put this one on your fav list.

[MoldytoasterMedia]

nice song. they should really play this on the radio.

[vAbsolution]

awesome. reminds me of the magnetic fields.

[superbond2]

this is seriously your best song ever, just sounds great.

[akaAKillerAnt]

I'm totally serious when I say that this was probably one of my favorite song of yours. The riff and melody are absolutely amazing. Very well done :)

[DrBoneskin]
