lyrics

Run away, don’t be afraid, go where you won’t be known
Somewhere safe, like in a cave, where creatures live with you at home
Run away, inside your brain, your senses your revolving doors

Oh dear me. Oh spare me. All my cares, all my worries. All my woes, are froze in a ball of mellow. Drama. Leave it for your mama. Give it to the birds in broken chunks of bread crumbs. Look outside. What’s inside? A grapefruit salad and a seafood surprise. Instead of cake, instead of treats, a sizzling soirée of undigested meat. Truly a travesty. Truly a myth. Truly a mythical miracle. Lyrical, empirical, theoretical, hysterical. Where to go, where to go? Know one knows. No one knows. See inside, a seafood surprise? A brain map, skulls, a mental roadmap. Extraneous exorbitant expedited trap. Red seas, left of waves. Right of waves, cave in, downward, downward, downward, until the sky recedes and a cake of high ridges saves, Middleton moves in symmetrical slaves. Pouring forth geysers and mazes and finally staves. A heart, w/a “1” and spades. Leverage from knaves. Or graves. Or paved tract of a rectangular wade. Stained. Forever, forever stained. With a heart and 1. Electrical waves.

Run away, inside your brain, your senses your revolving doors
Run and hide so you can survive the pains the world has in store
Somewhere safe, your home arcade, a link to your childhood soul
Oh oh oh, survive with your soul
Whose afriad, to reach you o.k., at least you won’t be all alone.
By freight, by train, by an aeroplane, by the way I won’t let you know
Whose to say, what’s wrong or o.k., when love is what I’m in for
Just in, by the way, a news syndicate, showed pictures of where you did go

James Peter Pham Carroll image

James Peter Pham Carroll Irvine, California

I started taking piano lessons at 7. At 10, I started writing songs. At 14, I got my first guitar. As a teenager and into my late 20's, I played in bands. From my late 20's to my 40's, I've been a solo musician; sometimes as "Lamposts". All of my artistic skills are primarily self taught.
98% of this music was written, performed, recorded and mixed by me. All artwork and photography is original. ... more
