about

The demo for this song was originally posted at patreon.com/mikeymason on November 30, 2020.

This was originally somewhat of a speed writing/recording. I had the idea late one night before bed, actually. Got up the next morning, wrote and recorded this demo. It’s not a terribly deep song, but it’s super fun and high energy.

This song was originally created through the support of my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, Randy Brown, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Josh Logan, Michael Khandelwal, Stephany McNulty, Scot Mealy, Amy Stuart, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen and John R Woolard.

lyrics

Olly olly oxen free, what the hell is wrong with me?
Every time I get the chance to make it right it comes out wrong and
I don’t really understand, nothing ever goes as planned,
Every time I talk it seems a new hello becomes so long and
Maybe I won’t make it any better, but maybe it just can’t get any worse
Maybe I can put it back together, maybe all my blessings are a curse
As my tongue… Moves at the speed of dumb…
It’s been a while an awkward glance, a stupid smile a second chance
But somehow we both know that I am gonna screw this up again
A mumbled word under my breath, it’s overheard and a misstep
That same old look that your eyes get when you have had enough and then
Maybe I can’t make it any better, but maybe it just can’t get any worse
Maybe I can put it back together, maybe all my blessings are a curse
As my tongue… Moves at the speed of dumb…
I know that I could just apologize again…
And maybe I could get another second chance…
But we both know the situation that we’re in…
How long until I get us right back in this dance?
Maybe I can’t make it any better, but maybe it just can’t get any worse
Maybe I can put it back together, maybe all my blessings are a curse
As my tongue… Moves at the speed of dumb…
Yeah my tongue… Moves at the speed of dumb…
Yeah  my tongue… Moves at the speed of dumb.
