Straight Space (Unhinged)

from This Is Son Solitaire (EP) by Woody Russell

/

lyrics

Inform the captain, we’re taking on water
Tell the engineer, the trestle ahead is blown
Radio the pilot, the fuel is nearly empty
Tell the believers, they must all go home
Advise the patients that the pills are all gone
Tell the whale and fish that the water will soon be boiling
But call the Networks, by all means, the show must go on

And say it with a straight face, it’s all coming unhinged
Bent out of shape, can’t keep it a straight space
It’s all coming unhinged

Suggest the judge hand down the last ruling
Ask the kitchen for a single scrambled egg
Call the front desk for some fresh cut flowers
Alert the barkeep, we’ll need to tap yet another keg

And say it with a straight face, it’s all coming unhinged
Bent out of shape, can’t keep it a straight space
It’s all coming unhinged

I want you to know that I will still be in love with you
Long after this wreckage has returned to dust
Returned to dust

And say it with a straight face, unhinged
I can’t keep it a straight space
It’s all coming unhinged

You gotta say it with a straight face, it’s all coming unhinged
I can’t keep it a straight space (it’s keeps coming)
It’s all coming unhinged

But I will continue to love you
Long after this wreckage returns to dust

Woody Russell Austin, Texas

A guitar-centric alchemist offering a potent mix of swagger, swing & heart. A vivid lyricist possessing an agile baritone saturated with emotive grit. Songcraft distilled from the warmth of vinyl album era singer-songwriters & blue-jazz, artfully mining elements of dreamy post-punk. Add then a masterful guitarist - one whom Blues Revue aligned with the "fearlessness" of guitar legend, Jeff Beck. ... more
