Great rehearsal tonight. Things really coming together, I think. I wrote a song especially for the band and we worked it up. It's the second part of a two song suite called "Fantasy"/Reality". I don't know how they read but the lyrics sound good in the context of the song.
Here are the lyrics:
"Reality"
Hear me out...don't quit your day job
Not just yet, maybe not at all
Though I know you think you hear
The giddy sound of the good life callin' out to you
Sayin' "Come along!"
But that isn't Miss September whispering
Your glossy dreams...of the beautiful people
Far above everyone you know
Like they're from another world
A better place than anywhere you've ever been
You still think she's giving it to you
But it isn't Miss September's to give
And you'll never be a playboy, darling
And you'll never own a penthouse, baby
And you're never gonna be a playboy
So don't quit your day job, darling
It's enough...people laughing at the
Party jokes that you've memorized
And you tell them so well
But it's too much to expect her not to notice
The lecherous gleam there in your eye
Now you've frightened Miss September away...
And you'll never be a playboy, darling
And you'll never own a penthouse, baby
And you're never gonna be a playboy
So don't quit your day job, darling...
