lyrics

“Didn’t we meet at a bus stop in June
you reading Cujo and I reading Dune?”
I marked my page with a fold of the top
you kept on reading (but deep down you stopped)

This marked the end of my day
Just one more stop on the way

Sneaking a glance and a sly backward smile
I saw you notice my noticing eye
You gave a half smile and blushed all around
“Where do we go now?” I wondered aloud

You pulled the cord from above
I fell hopelessly in love (again)

You were so beautiful holding your book
Framed in the photo my memory took
I knew I just had to see you again
You passed a note, Maple Street - Number 10

Then I looked up, you were gone
I heard your voice say, come on

I sat and wondered what action to take
Should I be lonely or risk a mistake
It seemed although you had played hard to get
You wanted company - right now, I bet

I pulled the cord from above
Searching to find my true love

It seemed the moment was right to step forth
Summoned my courage and knocked on your door
I heard commotion and screaming and crying
You had 10 kids and your husband was blind!

Just one more dismal mistake
I chose a new route to take (again)

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
