Knocked Over Pylons - The Catalog: track 1

1 comments
It's time for some oldies (for me) and new stuff (for most of you). Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote for my band, the Knocked Over Pylons a few years ago. Enjoy.

Knocked over Pylons
-The Scope

Sometimes I stop to look at myself,
Wonder if I should even bother.
Always I stop to look at someone else,
It's a habit that's a bother.

Customized, photogenic lenses, working on you,
Non-digitized, cinematic view, looking at you.

Every day I pause for a minute,
Think that I shouldn’t ponder.
All the time I think on you,
Should I do this, I wonder?

Thoughts stretch on and on,
The day goes on,
Though it won't stretch longer.
My peepers squint,
and then a blink,
An hour gone in a moment.

Customized, photogenic lenses, working on you,
Non-digitized, cinematic view, looking at you.

Something's changed; you're only you in name,
Ya’ don't even look like you.
Lucky for me I've got a memory,
Guess I'll have to exercise it.
Think I'll have to exercise it.
Close the lens and exercise it.
