Balconies

A post, filed in: Lyrics

(George Flanagan)
I’ve noticed, every time
On my bus ride down 95
The balconies on that highrise
Never seem to be occupied
But if I close my eyes and try real hard
I can figure out what went wrong

Water main

A post, filed in: Lyrics

(Jessica Flanagan)

From its pipe a sign hangs, it warns of flood and doom.
It would be too easy, to just give it a,
Turn, water’s rushin’ quickly,
Turn, I can’t catch my breath,
Turn, the amps are underwater,
Turn, I could not help myself.
Oh now what should I do, the [...]
