You hold it in long enough something's going to explode.  You're point being?...

SILENT JUNKIE

You never moved,
Always took the safest route to please your soul
Selling your groove
Meant to keep a quiet eye and play a roll

Safe thoughts inside your tears when you'd over load
Safe thoughts to hide your fears and keep you cold...

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you "open" it never grows dark)
And it's ok to be alive and spit at the sun

You always won,
Always pleasing daddy at the drop of three
Having some fun, meant a reminiscing of the family tree

Safe thoughts to cool your tongue over daddy's rules
Safe thoughts the day you hung in daddy's shoes...

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you "open" it never grows dark)
And it's ok to be alive and spit at the sun

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you move on it never grows dark )
And it's Ok to be alive
Yeah, and spit at the sun

Silent Junkie

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
