lyrics

When he didn't like what he'd seen, what he'd seen, on the TV screen.
He put an end to what he seen, on the TV screen, with a bullet machine.
Shoot em up go bang! He got a 22 to hit it with.
Well I can get just as angry, but when I do, it hits different.

I be watching but:
I can't stop crying.
I'mma po’ little baby
I'm gon’ push it deep inside
And keep on, keep on, grinding.

When I was a much younger man, I had a plan, to write a book.
Little poems and paragraphs, like a gunman, without a 22.
To capture all of little things, the subtleties, for the ages.
Quiet comments and loud laughs — ha ha! — I ran out of pages.

I'm still writing but:
I can't stop crying.
I'm a big ol' baby.
I'm gon’ push it deep inside
And keep on, keep on, grinding.

I'm gon’ sang, hallelujah.
But I'm feeling every ways tired.
I’m so tired.

Lancelot gets the words wrong to these dreams impossible
Mangled banner for this song, on the TV screen, with no remote control
So Lancelot, gets shot between the eyes
Pretender king who stole the soul until the day he died.

For different reasons:
I can't stop crying
I can't stop crying
Y'all is terrifying
And I'm a grown ass baby
I'm gon’ push it deep inside
And keep on, keep on, grinding.
And keep on keepin' on, keep on grinding.

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. ... more
