lyrics

Hot damn it feels good to be hiding from all y'all.
Hot damn it feels good. I ain't even gonna call y'all.
I'm a couple three short of 1-3-6-9 light bulbs.
But hot damn it feels good to be in it for the long haul.

I could leave but I don't dare.
Red white and blue got me too scared.
So my black ass ain't goin anywhere.

Hot damn it feels good to be staying home day and night.
Hot damn it feels good to turn down gigs left and right.
Every now and then I wanna leave but I can do without it.
I luv y'all but I don't need to never ever ever hear ya talk about it.

I could leave but I don't dare.
Red white and blue got me too scared.
So my black ass ain't goin anywhere.

I gots no need for to engage with y'all
When everything I need is in my basement y'all
I got a signed Diltz print of Joni
I got a Joni book signed by Joni
I got a real deal passport of a Mynah Bird
I got the best damn rekkids that you never heard
I got a planet ape rekkid book prophecy
I got Richard Pryor stand-up philosophy
I gots Paisley Park mementos
I gots Jennifer's six inch stilettos
I gots 12 guitars and three chords
I got 700 pedals on my pedalboard
I gots that laptop interface upgrade
I got the Casio keys I bought in 8th grade
I gots a Rubik's Cube cuz I'm clever
I got Wakanda T'Challa forever
I don’t need to see no sunrise
When I got that 4th grade Saturday poet prize.
I don’t need to see the sun drop
Cuz I got a 6 million dollar man lunch box.
I don’t need to see clouds in heaven?
When my guitars can go louder than eleven
I don’t need to see the sky?
One day we're gonna all die.

I could leave but I don't dare
Red white and blue got me too scared
I could leave but I don't dare
Red white and blue got me too scared
I could leave but I don't dare
Red white and blue got me too scared

I got a green screen that'll take me anywhere.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall

Hot damn it feels good to be hiding from all y’all.

about

Buggy Jive Albany, New York

BUGGY JIVE is a soul rock singer-songwriter quietly uploading music from a basement somewhere in Upstate New York.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
