at the party
in your kaftan

hesitating never knowing what to say

sunday morning
ruffled pillows

what just happened, am i waking all alone
was i dreaming how come i can’t find my phone

heart is racing
head is spinning

my new boyfriend i don’t even know your name
be my boyfriend never thought i’d play this game
listen boyfriend you have left me overthrown
be my boyfriend you can even keep the phone

Boyfriend

I exercise every day and I watch what I eat
I count my calories on myfitness pal and I try not to cheat
I apply my sunscreen diligently, so I don’t get sunburn on my head
I try to sleep for eight hours each night when I go to bed

Every time I look in the mirror, I try to squint my eyes
Cause every time I look in the mirror, it makes realize
That all the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

There’s a 45-year-old tech tycoon getting transfusions from his teenage son
He’s a modern-day vampire, trying to stay young
He spends two million dollars a year trying to reduce his age
He’s like a chimpanzee in a lab, experimenting on himself in a cage

They say that you’re only as old as you feel and that may be true
But if you’re a hundred  and you hit on a 20 year old 
people are goanna judge you
I think that guy should try to get a blood transfusion from Keith Richards
Cause that guy’s done everything wrong and he’s still going strong

Every time I look in the mirror, I try to squint my eyes
Cause every time I look in the mirror, it makes realize
That all the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

All the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

Stop The Decline

Holding Out

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.
