Briefest Eye

about

Another old song (believe me, there are some new ones.) Originally recorded onto 4-track cassette in a very boring arrangement. This version tweaks the harmonies and adds some more interesting sonic effects.

lyrics

Can I Confide in you?
Loose Threads on all my seams
Tell all my troubles to you
if that is what you please
there's no need for concern
I will survive this phase
but all I have these days
is worry

About the War Machine
God and Guns and Government
the will that claims it's heaven-sent
and the victims on the television news
but if I choose
two channels down
there's actors paid never to frown

Ain't got it bad
this storm will pass
ain't got it bad
didn't finish last.

I'm sure my day will come
when I get my reward
I'm sure if I was drowning
I would get dragged aboard
I don't think I've been wronged
Don't feel I've been deceived
but for some good news I would be
relieved.

Ain't got it bad
this storm will pass
ain't got it bad
didn't finish last...
