Ugly Business

Written around a drum track, for which two previous songs were recorded and deleted. The vocal lines are too long for me to sing, so one track is half the line, and the other in another track.

Lyrics

SOMETHING STIRRING EMOTIONS SURFING
OCEANS SURELY SALTING FLORIDA
SHADY CHARACTER SLOWLY STALKING
PIGEON LADY OFFERS UP HER BENCH
UNDER-PRIVILEDGED TUSCAN ORDERS
LONELY PEOPLE WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS
HAVE A HAND IN YOUR UGLY BUSINESS
WASH THEM OFF AND GET AWAY FROM ME

GET AWAY FROM ME

MISDIRECTING TRAFFIC SIGNALS
PUT YOUR HANDS BACK UPON THE WHEEL
CORSICA SUNBIRD, HONDA HYBRID
MAKE YOUR TURN AND GET AWAY FROM ME

GET AWAY FROM ME

HAVE A HAND IN YOUR UGLY BUSINESS
WASH THEM OFF AND GET AWAY FROM ME
GET AWAY FROM ME
