about

Just an ode to smokie bars, raucous long nights, and love that slipped away.

lyrics

(Verse)

Too much light
In this bar
I can see
Too far

A bar should be
A darker place
Where clouds of smoke
Obscure the details

I see her
She’s with him
But I can see
Right through them

In a darker place
You might not see
The way, the way
She looks at me

Love and Lust
They start the same
The half-life that is
Where the change is

Love grows stronger
Lust tails off
Sounds nice and easy
That it’s not
Look in her eyes
You’ll see its not

(Chorus)

There's too much light
In this Bar

I can see too far
A bar should be a darker place
Where clouds of smoke
obscure the details

Too much light
In this Bar
I can see too far

(Bridge)

I once was dosed
With LSD
By an old hippie
On New Years’ Eve

As I walked home
From Charlie B’s
Each snowflake
Seemed so beautiful
To me

(Verse)

Little voice
Inside my head
Says I should soon
Be home in bed

But I’ll stay here
I’ve got the time
Yeah I’ll be here
‘til Closing time

Jackie went to school
To finger paint
I went so,
I’d talk real great
Our K-Bones keep
That rhythm tight

Like Supersonic Dynamite

(Chorus)

There's too much light
In this Bar

I can see too far
A bar should be a darker place
Where clouds of smoke
obscure the details

Too much light
In this Bar
I can see too far
