Here are the lyrics for a song Peter Ball of Apartment One and I will be recording tomorrow. If it works out, I’ll post it Friday.
It’s a weird process because I have no idea what music Peter will play since he makes it up as we go; and neither he nor I have any idea how or what I’ll say/sing because I won’t know until I hear his music. And it’s a one-time thing because he can’t repeat what he’s done since it’s all whim and whisk . . . the best we can do is add a couple tracks after to flesh in the valleys and hide my mistakes.
Prince Valium
Prince Valium rides
my valley of naught
Soothing inside
Insidious thought
He eases the reins
Of vicious jerks
Smoothing the pain
Of obnoxious quirks
High slow Diazepam
Seize me into slow
Mow my mental diagram
Make my innards glow
With head getting lighter
Larger and tighter
Comes bits of laughter
Encouraging after
My dragging is slain
Slow slowing down
Much less to explain
And a lot more clowns
High ho Diazepam
Riding to the rescue
Skewering social sham
Remaking inner skew
I’m sorry you’re sad
Though not really
I’ve goodened my bad
Made serious silly
I know going up
Means coming down
But temporary yup
Way worth next frown
Doing dat Diazepam
Dancing with the devil
Being me as I am
Knowing I’m not evil
Sometimes it’s best
To blow out your pipes
It serves as a test
For the rest of your gripes
But this this ain’t now
And that now won’t when
To my body I must bow
And get on with Zen ken
So goodbye Prince Valium
Thanks for the ride
I appreciate the value
Of the lessons inside
