Special thanks to JB for his involvement on this song!

Thanks for the song title, Kitty Ostapowicz!
Thank you for the artwork, Caitlin Mason!
Completed song and artwork will be featured on the upcoming album "Actual Animal"
I have been sitting on the song title for months now, and the melody and chord structure are from an old unfinished song of mine, formerly called "Back to the Well".

Tiger Bordeaux; Flowers

The stripes that I've had are all forged to my skin
They all tell a tale, but where to begin?
Seems that I'm rambling now
Repeating myself by the sound
of words so familiar to me
They circle around

A vase on the table, the flowers are fresh
Lilacs and orchids if I had a guess
I'm at a loss for details
My memory tries and it fails
to reach an establishing shot
It's to no avail

[CHORUS]
Tiger Bordeaux
Pour me a glass, I'll sip slow
Tonight I am free with nowhere to be
My ear is all yours
So, say what you feel
No pressure at all, so be real
or just pretend, and I'll be your friend
It's up to you, it's strange but it's true
Honestly, it is your call
No ulterior motives at all

Things might work out, and maybe they won't
And these days I'm not really leaning on hope
For all that I've thought and I've felt
The best thing to do for yourself
is playing the best given hand
with the cards that you're dealt

Tiger Bordeaux
Pour me a glass, I'll sip slow
Tonight I am free with nowhere to be
My ear is all yours
So, say what you feel
No pressure at all, so be real
or just pretend, and I'll be your friend
It's up to you, it's strange but it's true
Honestly, it is your call
No ulterior motives at all

[Break]

Tiger Bordeaux
Pour me a glass, I'll sip slow
Tonight I am free with nowhere to be
My ear is all yours
So, say what you feel
No pressure at all, so be real
or just pretend, and I'll be your friend
It's up to you, it's strange but it's true
Honestly, it is your call
No ulterior motives at all

I was really bummed to learn about the recent death of Emiit Rhodes, a brilliant musician. I thought I'd try covering this song, though I'm about 200 instrumental and vocal overdubs short. How this guy recorded those albums on a 4-track recorder is beyond me.
