lyrics

Home alone and up to no good
Stayin' up late just like the doc said I should
I've prescribed this medicine myself before
Roaming the streets don't know left from right
Every store's closed within my sights
Santa Claus in a minivan offers a ride

And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
And the captain can't control the noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky

Without a life to waste away they
Laugh at jokes but don't know what they say
These actors never speak the director's mind
Sharing secrets with a brand new stranger
Am I a friend or just an entertainer?
Always thought at some point I'd have to decide

And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
And the captain can't control the noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky

My mind anew
Those times were few
My dreams came true
But where were you?

Certainty what a roll of the dice
Open my ears to conflicting advice
A simple game where the rules are never read

And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
And the captain can't control the noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky

And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
And the captain can't control the noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky

about

The Magnificent Electric New York

The Magnificent Electric plays indie psych music that is at once very silly and deeply profound.

His lush arrangements and warped guitar tones bridge the gap between the analog and digital worlds, while his whimsical lyrics seamlessly blend future with past. ... more
