City Hall - zen times ten

Original Music Monday #1 (9/29/08)

G
Well the week was long but now the work is done
lets head on out and have some fun
C
the weekends here what do you want to do
come on babe strap on your dancing shoes
D7
if I tell my dad we're going to the game
he'll let me take out the mustang
C
then we can go downtown instead
I love your lips that shade of red
D7
the stage is set the time is right
lets go and light up the night
C
you know we're gonna have a ball...lets burn down city hall


G
we'll have a little picnic on the capital lawn
you look so cute mixing fire bombs
C
i'll pour wine into plastic cups
lets have a few drinks to get our courage up
D7
now i'll bring the windows down with painted rocks
while you look out for the cops
C
i'll light the rag with my zippo
and stand back to watch you throw
D7
we'll exit to the noise of alarms
i hold you tight in my arms
C
there's no more reason to stall...lets burn down city hall


G
we'll climb to the roof of building nearby
close enough to see the fire in your
C
eyes reflect colors of orange red and blue
i pull you close and hold on to you
D7
as we sway to the sounds of screaming sirens
our lullaby their rude awakening
C
we watch as the whole scene plays out
people run and point and shout
D7
their hoses try to douse the flames
but our fire cannot be tamed
C
yes they will not soon forget the night...we burned down city hall

are you still doing covers?? cant wait for the nexed song

[zenxten]

thanks for watching. I'm not going to stop doing covers, I've just been in kind of a musical rut lately. One that I'm trying to blast myself out of. I'm going to do another cover soon if I can get this weeks original done early.

Buddy Holly gets pissed off!

Funny how love sneaks in to everything, eh?

A 5-star original!

Cool!

[zenxten]

thanks, i think you might have won the best comment ever award.

 i never really intended it to be a love song when i was writing it, but I guess things just evolved that way.

Catchy tune and a quite enjoyable night ;-)
