A Little Scared (by Samm Bennett)

Here's a tune from my new CD, ROOMFUL OF GHOSTS, released January, 2009. This is a live, raw, stripped-down version of the song, very different from the version that appears on the CD... why, heck, there ain't even any REVERB being used! Hope you can enjoy it for what it is: just a guy in a room singing a song. No frills. The YouTube experience, y'all.

For more info on the release, see these official ROOMFUL OF GHOSTS sites:

A LITTLE SCARED

i saw a woman with her hair on fire
tap dancing in the middle of the avenue
with the cars and taxis racing by
seemed like a bit of a dangerous thing to do
she handed me some matches and some tap shoes
said won't you join me for a little duet
i said sorry but that looks a little frightening
i ain't ready for that just yet
she said if you're not a least a little scared
you're doing it wrong

she took my hand and said come with me
she led me to the edge of town
to a little shop on a dead end street
selling lawn mowers and wedding gowns
she said i've always dreamed
of walking down that aisle
wearing a white dress just like this
i said wait a minute i've got this fear
you see a fear of marital bliss
she said if you're not a least a little scared
you're doing it wrong

so before i knew it we were married
and now we're always together
tap dancing in the street with our hair on fire
we're flaming birds of a feather
she's taught me some tricky and intricate steps
and i love her more with every breath
i don't want this tap dance life to end
so of course i'm afraid of deat
but if you're not at least a little scared
you're doing it wrong

There's a real Tom Waits vibe off this. Except Tom Waits is a much better singer.

Time to get this album. I love the stripped down versions though. Nice pig.
