Woozily mesmeric, existential new track by the laid-back Philadelphia singer-songwriter taking us on a deadpan cranial journey inside his hallucinatory thoughts with images of “pinball machine-a-mania” and his characteristic, charming, languid drawl. It is taken from his forthcoming album (Watch My Moves), out on Verve Records.
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stones
Thoughts running 'round in my cranium like pinball machine-o-mania
Dreaming of a time when everything rhymed and I was cool, calm, and collected
And all of my heroes dropped by just to hear me play
Thoughts become pictures become movies in my mind
Welcome to the KV hard drive and movie marathon
But I'm just kidding and I'm just playing
And this is just the way that I'm making a living
Every day, in my mind and in real life too
Going woo-ooh
Singing yeah-eah …
Taking off now
Moog making noisе now
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stones
Guitar's feeding back now
Feedback massaging my cranium
Painful calculations bruise my brain in the pouring rain
Baby red maples growing in the hedges (oh whoo-ooh, singing yeah-ah)
Sometimes the silver linings come in brown and red (oh whoo-ooh)
So to see with your eyes you gotta turn your head to the light
To gotta see with your eyes to look at what's outta sight
Outta sight
Oh-oh
Going yeah …
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stones …
