Original Song by Jim Lundy - Nothing Ever Happens Around Here

Original song by Jim Lundy
Still photos in video were taken around rural South Carolina

Nothing Ever Happens Around Here

The bare bulb hanging like a pear
Casts shadows on the table
The pile of books in the corner
Looking gracelessly unstable
I still have one of your CDs
Listen and make believe
But nothing ever happens around here.

The worst thing I ever did
Im not going to tell you but
Its midnight I wonder if its really
All that open and shut.
I wait for cars to crash
Wild fires and teeth to gnash
But nothing ever happens around here.

Sometimes when its cold outside
I can remember my dreams
They all start around Orions belt
And come down on moonbeams.
Frost on the window panes
Like diamonds and Novocain
But nothing ever happens around here.

I wonder if all those orphaned promises
Are still floating in the frozen air
Whispers by candlelight
Like a scoundrels dying prayer.
I float from room to room
We all create our doom
But nothing ever happens around here.
