about

I spent the better part of 50 minutes recording the bass for this one and it still ended up offbeat. Had to take a break because my mom was downstairs, so the vocals were completed later in a ten minute span, and I went 15 minutes over anyways. I adore the groove on this one, but I kind of hate everything else about it. I wanna use it, but it'll probably require major reworking.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Hey, take a hint
I've been where you've been
But I don't think we've met

Look over at me
I'm easy to read
But you're illiterate

Chorus:
Know I'm not a novelist
But I've got something to say
Read my lips, just once or twice
And think a different way

Verse 2:
Hey, take a look
And open a book
As language slips your mind

You're cross-eyed and gone
I'm moving along
And I'll leave you behind

Chorus:
Know I'm not a novelist
But I've got something to say
Read my lips, just once or twice
And think a different way

Look inside these paper eyes
And learn to take control
Read my lips, just once or twice
And play a different role
