Woah oh, it glitters, it's gold,
I am the ice cream, and you are the cone,
Woah oh, what do you know?
I am the stocking, and you are the coal.
Woah oh, it glitters, it's gold,
You are the traffic, and I am the road,
Woah oh, what do you know?
I'm an encryption, and you cracked the code.
I want to be on magazine covers,
I want to be on magazine covers,
I was the loneliest boy,
Now I'm a star in the eyes of the Lord,
Over the ramparts you'll watch,
As the rocket I'm in flies into the sun.
I think for me it is now or never,
For my whole life I've felt under the weather,
Now it's 300 degrees,
I don't trust you, and you sure don't trust me,
But it don't matter anyhow,
Because all of America will stand up and shout my name.
I just want to float,
I just want to float,
I just want to float over the clouds.
Didn't even know,
I didn't even know,
I didn't even know that the Earth was round.
Man's gonna make it to Mars,
My flight will be broadcast live on NPR,
You shake your head, but you'll see,
When I alter the shape of the galaxy.
Miles and miles and miles away,
Beyond the solar system and the solar rays,
Lies Andromeda galaxy light years away,
Lies two and a half light years from the Milky Way,
And then one day human life will cease to exist,
And one day the Red Planet will stop being red,
And the magazines will all decay in the dirt,
But my name will be remembered by the universe.
Woah oh, it glitters, it's gold,
I am the shower, and you are the mold,
Woah oh, look at them go,
You are a loan shark, and I am the loan.
Woah oh, it's for sale, it's sold,
I am the glass house and you are the stone,
Woah oh, what do you know?
I am the "maybe," and you are the "no."
In Charlie's words, this record is like travelling "all around the world (and the Mid-west) in just 36 minutes!" He's not kidding. I can't identify half the instruments he used, but they sound great. Kenny Hoffman
I often consult Ryan about my own recordings. Listen to his most recent EP to find out why. The arrangements! The humungous synths! The layers! The songwriting! I couldn't do any of it. Great stuff. Kenny Hoffman
