You’ll remember a few weeks ago I posted my first “write-a-song-for-a-friend” song. Well, here’s number two.
This time though, I have intentionally made it double up as my monthly song for Our Creative Community.
There’s stacks of ideas packed into the four minutes (including some crazy imagery in the lyric), but I’m especially excited about Diane’s vocal and arrangement contributions. Oh, and the fact Crystal likes it, of course.
No cover art yet, but I’m sure that won’t be too far away.
Asian Cowboy
Picture a girl, with once pink hair
Making her way through life with vicarious fascination
She shuts the door, the freakin’ front door
Enters the world wide web where she can stalk Asians
And avoid strawberries
She’s riding gazelles, and watching Carrie Bradshaw
Though she’s seen them all before, it keeps her mind off
Diet Coke and bottled water…
Crying girls as the Backstreet Boys
Fall through the roof of the honky tonk bar
Wrapped in snuggies, meeting Leo
Lazy typing left Tinky Tiny
She shuts the door, the freaking front door
Enters the world wide web so she can stalk Asians
She rides gazelles, and watches Carrie
Sex and the City
Picture a girl, a pink haired girl
Making her way through life with
Elvis and cowboys
(Velvet Elvis, Asian Cowboy)
