about

I wrote this song after my first trip to Vegas at the tender young age of 30. I think that's all I'll say. The song speaks for itself, IMO.

lyrics

Hot dogs and vitamins
Where they say “a tie is a win”.
Endless cycles of wax and wane.
Neon restlessness tickles my brain.

It’s a fool’s errand, with money in my hand.
We’re hitting the floor.
We’re forgetting the door… x3

But you always get your money’s worth.
Somehow, somehow.
If you hold it before the light.
If you look at it right.

Help me make sense of this senselessness.
Help me walk away from this windowless electricity
Urging all the wrong things… x3

Help me! I am drifting down
In this vibrant sea of forget-ability.
Violins and debauchery.
I have lost my head I can barely see.

It’s plastic. It’s plastic. Elastic. Stochastic….x2

Help me! I am drifting down
In this vibrant sea of forget-ability.
Violins and debauchery.
I have lost my way, won’t you please help me.
Won’t you please help me.
Won’t you please help me.
Won’t you please
Help
Me…

from RISCATTO, released May 2, 2016
Credit to Marc Deriso on this one; his explosive drumming really brought the track to life.

Stew Peck's bass is also perfect for the song; he wrote the part basically on the spot. My brother and I were marveling at a couple of his moves. Simple, understated, and just perfect for the feeling of the song.
