Liner Notes

My first song of my first fawm. We're starting with a bad song club from this past week. The lyrics are mostly nonsense.

Lyrics

Something happened at the zoo
I heard a voice and I thought of you
It wasn't like thunder it trickled down my mind
I felt it in my belly I felt it in my spine

The other people standing there
Didn't seem to notice or didn't seem to care
I guess that I'm the only one
Who feels this way under the sun

I guess you're on and off this time

The elephants forgot your name
The hermit crabs didn't feel shame
To hide their faces up in their shells
So I couldn't see them as I walked around

I wish I had a different mind
A little less stupid, a little more kind
What else could be, what else I could have done
So now I wonder what I misunderstood

I really like this. Has an Elliot Smith feel. That last set of lyrics is going to haunt me for the rest of my life, so thanks for that, I guess. They're great, don't get me wrong, just kinda summed up all my insecurities in 4 short lines.
