lyrics

Call me up, look me up, ask me how I’ve been I’ll tell you fine
Pick me up, drop me off, have some cheese and crackers, have some wine
I pretend to listen to you talk about yourself
Your lips are moving, I say uh huh, I say mmm hmmm, I say...


Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view

It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

Took my shoes in for repair, couldn’t find a shoe fix anywhere
They were broke, what a joke, tossed ‘em in the trash, I’m a good American
I can buy them new 10 bucks, who really needs a shoe fix shop?
Just like your vacuum cleaner, boombox, TV, air conditioner
Blender, blue jeans, VCR, electric razor... trash ‘em all...

Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view
It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

Think I’ll get me a carpet, so I can sweep the dirt under it
Think I’ll find me a new man, Casper Milktoast this time dammit
I can change my life real good, just like everybody says I should
Go to work to pay the bills, consume a lot of booze and pills
To keep the headaches and the thoughts at bay, then find a doctor
Keep me going, keep me going, there’s no dying in this living death
Just keep me going, there’s no dying, keep me going...

Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view
It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

God bless America
God bless me and you
We live off the Land of Low Prices
So God bless Walmart, too....

Esther Golton Alaska

Esther Golton creates music that satisfies the quest for something delightfully different & diverse. Her voice is "silky smooth, precise and winsome." Add an unusually intricate use of the mountain dulcimer, stunningly fluid flute, & melodic, colorful writing, strengthened by formal studies in flute, jazz & composition. Peter Mulvey has praised her work as "solid, beautiful, vibrant...inspiring. ... more
