New Song: "Go Fascinate Someone Else" (Patreon)

I'd completely forgotten I wrote this.

A friend and I are cleaning my house a bit at a time, and we found a couple of old stacks of lyrics. This is inspired by the spate of faux Oscar Wildes that I keep running into, and it's also a cautionary tale about becoming one yourself.

I also really played with the chord progressions on this one. I'm not sure they work -- please talk about 'em!

I showed up at this party in the hope of spending time with severalPeople who I like and who I never get to see,But before I even started I was waylaid and now I'm in socialLimbo in the corner where you sat down next to me.

Up until this moment, I was trying to be polite and smile andListen as you rattled on and on till you were through, Except that you kept going and there was no end in sight —— on everyTopic in creation and how they relate to you.

It's rude to scream while fleeing, I wanted to demur,I wanted to escape more gracefully, ,But a "wit" is what you're being, With that I must concur.Except I spell it starting with a  T.

I hate to interrupt your little alternate reality whereEverybody's interested in your point of view.I don't like to be abrupt, but I've O.D’d on your banality -- l’dRather eat a garden weasel than hear more of you.

If you absolutely have to keep on talking, just pretend that l amSitting here, attentive to each little thing you've said.I'm sure that other people walking by will be more friendly and willAsk if you're insane or if you maybe hit your head.

That was a party killer, but at last the air is clear,If the universe is kind, l will forget...At last! Someone familiar! Wait a moment, sit right here,Let me tell you all about this guy I met....

I showed up at this party in the hope of spending time with severalPeople who I like and who I never get to see,But before I even started I was waylaid and I was in socialLimbo in the corner where he sat down next to me....
