Strange Man

from Megiddo by Lauren Hoffman

/

lyrics

The room is spinning
And I feel dizzy like a rat trapped
On one of those things that goes
Round and round and round

All I can see are neon lights
And the silhouette of man
He's sitting to my right
His hand is on my knee
His hand is on my thigh
His hand is on my arm
His hands are covering my eyes

The boom, boom of the bass drum
Is like the thudding of my blood
It's mixing with re wine and nicotine
It's pumping through my heart like mud
His eyes are closed
His mouth is open
His eyes are closed
His mouth is open

I don't remember what he looks like
But he smells like a man and Marlboro reds
His face is coming closer
His fingers on my chin
He smells like whiskey
He smells like sin

And now it's over
And i know exactly where I am
In a familiar bed
With a strange, strange man
I'd seen him around before
And I said
I'll see you around, man

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California

music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more
