"Carnival Lights Down" (from openmic week 83)

Howdy. Time warp to May 4, 2018. This is a seriously bad open mic entry. I didn't even finish it. I screwed up near the end and just stopped. For reals. Nobody does that. Probably no one has ever done that in the history of the openmic contest. In my defense, I was in a hurry. But I made a dumb mistake, and then said:

"And I just messed up so that's all I got" ..

And then just stopped recording. What a doofus.

I didn't even get to my favorite part of the song which is me "howling at the moon" .. Aww, well. Such is life. Here's the song.

...

Carnival Lights Down

I've never been this dark before
stark-raving crazy,
face-up on the floor

Angry am I for losing my place
3 feet down with a smile on my face

Your head's in a cloud
my feet are in mud

Carnival lights define
where next you will run

And though I'm a mess,
I shall clearly confess
I wait for you to run
to my house of fun.

Give me a dance,
you rodeo clown
Ride up and save me
before I sink down

I dreamed about you
and a big red balloon

We rode to the sea
and you hummed me a tune
then we howled at the moon.

Sometimes it feels like this a test
Are we gonna pass
God, I've done my best.

The face on the wall,
she sings me a song.
La dee dah dee dah,
the time has almost come.

Give me a dance,
you rodeo clown.
Ride up and save me
before I sink down.

I dreamed about you
and a big red balloon

Let's ride to the sea
and I'll hum you a tune

Then we'll howl at the moon.

I think, to redeem myself a little TINY bit, I will include the actual version I recorded in my home studio.. which still has much dead air and flaws.. but whatevs. I like my end-song howling. I'm not a very bad howler. (when you are pretty good howler, you gotta own it. Yes?) Although, I chose to fade out the song during the howling part and you really can't hear how nice it is. Typical.

Alright.. well. I hope you're all having a good day. Or night. I am in a terrible mood and kind of avoiding "real" talk. I've been sending people "bunny coffee" over in discord this morning. Because that's my only wise advice of the day..

HAVE SOME BUNNY COFFEEEE

Love you all, thanks for hanging around.
