Description
I often act without regard to consequences as this post demonstrates
in 1984 I sideswiped a woman's car on the way to college. the police said it was my fault so I absconded with great alacrity to oildale and suckered a friend of a friend into letting me take his spare bedroom rent free. I dropped out of college yet another time and took a job in a pizza restaurant. anyway this guy and I did not see eye to eye on virtually anything and one thing he did was drink a glass of wine every night after his electrician gig and then he would pass out on the couch leaving me with no way to watch his color cable tv.
so I wrote this song back then inspired by him passing out on the couch after his glass of cheap rose wine. um there were other inspirations going on at the time as well. hence the lyrical effluvience. if you don't get it don't worry neither do I.
this version came out no ways like I planned and sounds nothing like I envisioned. if you can see sound. oh yeah now I remember synesthesia.
that guy soon enough sold his truck bought a 1964 galaxie wagon and drove across the country to be near his dad, he being an electrician found another job before he moved. he took his tv with him which upset me. oh well. I told our mutual friends I had stabbed him to death with an ice pick and run him down the disposal. crazy mad days. the funny thing was he hadn't really told anyone he was leaving and it was rather abrupt and those mutual friends weren't sure if I was lying or not ;-) I never told them for reals either. fun times.
the poor guy wrote me shortly after he arrived back east I never wrote him back. he has this song now perhaps as my way of making amends 27 years later. for the record I don't have a murderous bone in my body and I did begin paying rent.
oh and, happy halloween.

rainbow
oftentimes I've been ripped up and down twice skipped
part of me was in there
never more a cough quiet rainbow riding son and his gunshot marshmallow
part of me was in there
jay leaf twig bird no exclaim said arrow condor rip saw blade scare rip
scarecrow tail upset no retarded bird dog wort condemn
long lost log cabin fever blistered out like bristling rainbow
rose colored wine glasses glimpse a view of paper
rose colored wine glasses dip imbibe so glib
thinking life like reflected from a waterdrop sideways hung on a spherelike doorway
part of me was in there
tangled clouds danglin listless see for miles my occasional loadline less a spider micron thinkin you're thereabouts put your time in like doin it an age old youth I don't wanna mess with flick
part of me was in there
oftentimes I've been ripped up and down twice skipped
part of me was in there
never more a cough quiet rainbow riding son and his gunshot marshmallow
part of me was in there
jay leaf twig bird no exclaim said arrow condor rip saw blade scare rip
scarecrow tail upset no retarded bird dog wort condemn
long lost log cabin fever blistered out like bristling rainbow
rose colored wine glasses glimpse a view of paper
rose colored wine glasses dip imbibe so glib
thinking life like reflected from a waterdrop sideways hung on a spherelike doorway
part of me was in there
tangled clouds danglin listless see for miles my occasional loadline less a spider micron thinkin you're thereabouts put your time in like doin it an age old youth I don't wanna mess with flick
part of me was in there

Good song Dimm! Got a nice psychedelic halloween feel to it. Really like the 2:40 - 3:20 part.
