Vegan Queen

I'd been a lone wolf for a while
Stalking my prey out in the wild
Then my rabbit came along
Had me singing her salad songs
She was playfully mean
Sense of humor far too keen
Cutest girl I've ever seen
She was my vegan queen
You couldn't tell me it wouldn't hurt
But that doesn't mean I was worried
It wasn't anything I didn't know
I was just prepared to let it go
She'll always be on my mind
I'm surprised I haven't cried
She's so far away from me
But I still see her in my dreams
Missing you is misery
You're something else, vegan queen

I'm drowning in her
I'm drowning in her
I'm drowning in her
How I wish I was hers
She's a vixen to earn
Talks about Nixon's burn
I'm fixin' to learn
She's my puddle girl
I'm drowning in her
I'm drowning in her
I'm melting away
A pool by the end of the day
Maybe if tomorrow held something more
Then I would feel more secure
I don't know if I can last forever
But I'll stay here and enjoy the weather

Out in the streets, you greet everyone you meet
Polka dot covered sheets, you're the only for me
You're my kind of girl
Parking lots and best guesses, perfect little messes
Holding hands, relieving stresses, and your floral patterned dresses
Things that make up my world
If you only knew
How the things you do
Make me feel inside
I'm so happy I could cry
Hot and heavy showers, buying you your favorite flowers
Cold winter hours, knowing all of it is ours
I love spending time with you
Sleepy morning yawns, waking up on close friends' lawns
Flat singing songs, Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"
Just to name a few

She's so Fine
03:32

She keeps me warm, even when she's gone
Because the thought of her is so strong it gets me by
When she's here, I disappear
Because I know she's gonna get me high
Man, and she's so cute
All I wanna do is lay in bed with her by my side
Everyday, I seem to say
I've been so happy since you've been mine
I've been dreaming of you for far too long
I'd just sit in my bedroom and write you songs
I've been waiting for you to take me away
To sleep in late with you on a Saturday
She's so fine

Carmen's Song

Since you came into my life
You've been making me better
Becoming more accountable
And, slowly, less bitter
When I think of all the other girls
I could have had before you
I'm glad I never tried
That you're the one that I pursued
They say the nose is linked
Directly to the amygdalae
When I think of it, I can smell you
But I couldn't tell you what it all means
But baby, I know
That I love you
And that's enough
Enough for me
To stick with you
An elderly couple celebrated their 75th anniversary
Just to become California wildfire casualties
And I started thinking, that might not be a bad way to be
Since the first time we met
Or maybe even before that
Like from the first time
I saw your face
I could tell there was something
Familiar, but not clear how
Something I knew in a past life
But I see it- I see it now

Something Going On

I get so excited
when I know you're coming
and in the morning, when I shower
it's your tune that I'm humming
Baby, I think we got something going on
I love all of your freckles
And the smell of your perfume
And as it happens, when I think of it,
I love the whole of you

Cruel Joke
03:10
|

I watched the sky turn orange from blue
God only knows how long I waited for someone like you
It's gonna take some time to make it, and I only wanna make it with you
Life is ours for the taking, and I'm gonna take it with you
But most nights I sleep on my own
And every time you're heading home
I wish that that was just the two of us all alone,
Oh, it's a cruel joke
Yes, it's a cruel joke to sleep alone
The sun rose above the dewy lawn
I woke before my favorite song
And my first thought is always of her
And how I wish things were
I'm dreaming of a better place
In a different country, or at least a different state
Just you and me, a dog, and a kid- if I can convince you
And I'll be happy
Yes, I'll be happy, 'cause I'll never have to miss you
Oh, it's a cruel joke
Oh, it's a cruel joke
Yes, it's a cruel joke to sleep alone

Hello, it's me
I'm guessing you're asleep
I know it's late, but darling, this can't wait
It's grand to be in love
But some days, I wonder what I've done
Should I keep you from doing what you want to do
I'd feel a fool, the understanding would be too cruel
I hope that's not the case, 'cause every time I see your face
I hope we stick together,
even if I'm emotionally weak
I'm sorry about it
I can't seem to shake my nervous streak
It's sad to say
But it's hard to go all day thinking of only you
Only to find you being obtuse
It hurts, but I hope
We'll work it out tomorrow
Because still, I find it's always on my mind

It's so easy to get under your skin
If you ask me, that's where true love begins
I can rile you up, and I can turn you on
and when you're here in my arms,
I know nothing can go wrong
In the morning, when I wake up next to you
I wonder what I would do if I were to lose you
If something I say were to send you away
I'd spend every day in my bed
Regretting what I said
Suddenly I notice you stop snoring,
you open your eyes, kiss me, and tell me "good morning"
and the rain in my brain finally stops pouring
I say, "hello" and "it's nice to see you"
"I'm so happy to be with you"
You ask me "why?"
And I just smile
It's so hard to watch you go
But Carmen, dear, I think that we both know
The time apart might be tough
But we'll see each other soon enough

Rick Alvin is one of the greatest experimental pop musicians of our time. The way he synthesizes ideas baffles me. This one is a little weirder but, dang, that first track, man.
