Story Behind The Song

It's a kind of reflection on the 'hip' scene in my old Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg.

Song Description

Slow and moving, kinda dreamy and sad.

Lyrics

SKINNY ASS 6 FOOT TALL

1. You're watching from the garden stairs
The flowers watch you unaware
Just like you said, Monday morning kicked you in the head

Her diary?s locked up tight
So you?ll have to read her mind tonight
I?ll make a quiet and peaceful plan Just as loudly as I can

(Chorus) The television?s on, but the show is outside tonight
And you step into the bar but there?s no one inside tonight

2. You?re a fly on the wall
And a skinny-ass 6 foot tall
I?m not impressed You?re depressed for success

As you?ve figured out your life
You sound weary at twenty-five
Old enough to know You turned around and it?s time to go go go

(Chorus) The television?s on, but the show is outside tonight
And you step into the bar but there?s no one inside tonight

It?s cool it?s cool

3. Watching from the garden stairs
The flowers sit there unaware
Just like you said Monday morning kicked you in the head

The only thing left to do
Is Sister Lovers on a dim afternoon
You?ve learned enough to know
You turn around and it?s time to go go go

(Chorus) The television?s on, but the show is outside tonight
And you step into the bar but there?s no one inside tonight
