Mad Punk Rocker

An early Led Zeppelin inspired 7/4 tune about finding your soulmate and getting yourself out of the blue.

Out of the Blue

Won't You Be My Betty Boop?

Endlessly we craft what we please
tapping out these droll melodies
curious as cats on the keys.
Bidding heart and mind to amuse
something to distract from the news 
anything but that we choose.
A book of myths,
the ring of fifths,
those great what-ifs,
inspire.
the sea of stars,
a trace of scars,
our worn guitars
set fire.
Endlessly we craft what we please
tapping out our droll melodies
curious as cats on the keys.
Bidding heart and mind to amuse
something to distract from the news 
anything but that we choose.
In times of hate
we elevate
to dissipate
our fears,
dispel the grief
divine relief
redeem belief
with tears.
Endlessly we craft what we please
tapping out these droll melodies
curious as cats on the keys.
Bidding heart and mind to amuse
something to distract from the news 
anything but that we choose.
