about

This is a song about a disillusioned musician busking in Key West.

lyrics

Seems I never got the joke
I guess it went right over my head
In a BROKEN DOWN RESTAURANT
Playing for drinks and tips
And a hundred and fifty that we could split
Now I'm here where the Buskers meet
Tapping out a rhythm on this dirtry street

Kings and Queens they rise and fall
But don't we all?
And it seems like a dream
When we get to the end of it
If you love it

And you can't look back
'cause you know you're gonna crash
but you do it anyway
and you do it everyday
'Cause a broken heart can't be forgotten
When it 's beating in your chest
And it weighs on your mind
All the the things you could have done
Should have done
But now you're running out of time

When you look at the faces
You fake another smile
And they put another dollar in the hat
But they're going somewhere
You watch 'em leave
But tomorrow you'll be right where you're at

You had a dream
Everybody does
But you made a mistake
And another one
And another one
On a sunny day
You can hear 'em say
He's a real good singer

But you're singin in the rain
'Cause you're lost in a song
And you can't believe how it all went wrong
And you're feeling the strain
When you're reaching for a high note
headin' for an all time low

The crowd gathers around
'Cause they like the sound
The tourists and the debutante's
They all say Hey man can you play thay song
The BROKEN DOWN RESTAURANT

"Being born is the most severe form of suicide. Not ending in a moment. But one moment ending for a lifetime".

Considering our mortality, it is a shame that many talented people are stifled by peer pressure, censorship,and their own fear of flying. Since we have all paid the price of admission to the material world, I hardly think that I am going to worry too much about fashion. ... more
