lyrics

Wicked Stylee
(words & music by Chris Velan)
© 1999

(Summer 1999)

Living down here where the time is slow,
I’ve got two paint cans holding up my window,
Skeleton car lying on my lawn and I’d give you a call if I had a phone to call on,
Flash in the sky means a storm has come,
I’ll just sit on the porch and watch it come undone
You’re over there and I’m over here and I don’t know you yet but you’re giving me ideas

Chorus
I’m getting rattled by your wicked stylee,
And it makes me nervous,
Oh ya,
And I’m getting rattled by your wicked stylee,
And I think I like that,
Oh ya, oh ya

All I can do is what I’ve done,
I try not to fly too close to the sun,
Looking at you looking back at me and I fall to my knees on account of what I see

Chorus
Bridge

Bugs flying in through the open screen,
They’re jumping up and down like they’re happy to be seen,
And I can’t sing ‘bout the heavy truth,
‘Cause I Laugh at myself and I’m way too uncouth,
They’ve got maps of the mountain and maps of the sea,
But they don’t have a map that can bring you to me,
A tug from the brown jug makes me smile,
So let’s forget time for a little while

Chorus
X2
