FRANKENSTEIN 03:38
He’s a scientist, his name is Frankenstein. In French his name is Frankenstein. He is a mad scientist. But then he made a monster See this big face? That’s him. But who died? How did he make it? He made the monster with green stuff. He made the monster with electricity. He was a terrible monster. He could destroy. And then the terrible monster got dead and then he came back alive. He’s sad because he died. Why did the scientist make a terrible monster?

I took your call in Philadelphia Like an early morning rain Like a right turn up the higher road On a San Francisco train You weren’t too shy to try and hide it We both had lonesome in our lungs While I was in some college basement Hooters posters crawling bugs Love is not a game You play to win There is no inside track I say again Love is not a game You play to win But we had it all anyway TIl by grace of god there came that day We had to play again You were such fashionable people Never caught wearing the same thing I considered you a trophy That burst right out the trophy case Drinking our first real maragaritas At Maria’s in Santa Fe Then fighting through a sandstorm Tears and grins strewn on our face Love is not a game You play to win There is no inside track I say again Love is not a game You play to win But we had it all anyway TIl by grace of god there came that day We had to play again I still consider you my family I hope you visit by my grave When the Reaper comes a-callin’ And sticks me back in Plato’s Cave Our every moment was a present Even though things they aren’t the same And though we both feel like we’re losing Love is not a game Love is not a game You play to win There is no inside track I say again Love is not a game You play to win But we had it all anyway TIl by grace of god there came that day We had to play again

My forever man Love surprised me just as one part of my life ended and another was about to begin I never thought that meeting you would change my life forever I cherish our travels our discovery of countries I never imagined I would ever see Dancing lessons that we enjoyed so much Long walks and always so much laughter There's our love of crosswords my corny jokes your attempt at singing and the strange way we seem to read each other's mind Though so different it seems our souls met before In another world, in another time Will forever bless the day I met you You are my forever man

Mask on your Face Dog bed on the floor Chair in the living room Scooter outdoors We all try to make the place better By putting it together Pillow on the bed Ice cream in the refrigertor People living in the house and cats chase the mouse Computer on the table Table on the floor Hope it makes sense for now I'm living indoors Hope it makes sense for now I'm living indoors I'm living indoors I'm living indoors I'm living indoors I'm living indoors

I used to wake up angry force-feed and throw myself in traffic I used to break my back and hands and morale on a daily basis but i don't anymore it's not gonna last but for now i enjoy that since i lost my job sleep's a luxury i can afford and everyone i know is caught in the gears of a machine that'll crush your hopes and dreams and bones until there's none left to feed on but my time's finally mine again i don't know how long i can pay rent but since i lost my job sleep's a luxury i can afford

about

In a bizarre time when we can't be physically close to each other and it feels like the world is on fire, I wanted to connect in a different way. I thought it would fun to make music to other peoples writings. Here is whats come of it. Enjoy.

Be smart, stay safe and please reach out to someone if you're struggling, now or at anytime, you and your feelings are valid. <3

Please make sure to click on the songs to read up on the folks who participated in this, some have links you should check out. This project would not exist without you, Thank you.
