John Shakespear - Sound Museum

Summer came along like a kick in the teeth
Janey's busted Camry took us all to the beach
For twenty-five years I'd been learning to speak
Suddenly I found that I couldn't stop singing

I used to think I was a hopeless case
Barely a member of the human race
But when we met up down at Tommy's place
It lit me up like a church bell ringing

Well we were laughing on the rocky coast
With a mason jar of whiskey and a city of ghosts behind us
It wasn't much but we were making the most
It wasn't much but I'll remember it forever

Oh take me to the Sound Museum
Where the furniture is dirty but the feeling is clean
Oh, we could go until the morning
Wake up in the afternoon and do it again

I used to feel like I was wasting my life away
Working at the Lizard Lounge, trying to get paid
There was something that I needed to say
But I couldn't find the words, yeah I just couldn't name it

So I kept it like a secret inside
Until the fire that was burning there had practically died
But Janey's voice on the other line
Pulled me right out of my misery and into the night

Oh take me to the Sound Museum
Where the furniture is dirty but the feeling is clean
Oh we could go until the morning
Wake up in the afternoon and do it again

No it's not easy but we're trying
I wonder if we're busy being born or if we're dying
No, I didn't write that line
But I heard it on the radio a long long time ago

Oh it's not easy but we're trying
I wonder if we're busy being born or if we're dying
No, I didn't write that line
But I heard it on the radio a long long time ago

It's not easy but we're trying
I wonder if we're busy being born or if we're dying
No, I didn't write that line
But I heard it on the radio a long long time ago

And sang it to myself until I felt at home
