The Long Hangover

about

A Condensed Musical.

lyrics

It’s Easter time in Providence spring is in the air
The waters of the moon swirl and swoon, oh happy day
The flower girls of Newport chase Dalmatians
Over mansion lawns behind high fences
Kids on pine needle pathways sell ginger ale with cherries
Shedding the tears of Christ
Collecting bills in an old top hat

love and happiness the kitsch goddess Irony
grow in soil made of money she rules over Infinity
the complexion of wealth the snitch god Entropy
the brutality of triumph he rules over Eternity
wealth is useless on the day of wrath
peace and calm from gratifying passions and lust

sighs in the moonlight granted immunity
to the long hangover of history.
who's been granted/ granted immunity?
to the long hangover of history
who's been granted immunity / from the long hangover of history?

playing at a wedding, we are playing ” there’ll never be another you”. ok, bridesmaids to the stage please, in the pink tent we have the grass-fed rib-eyes hot smoked w A.J. Loria pecan wood and finished off with some slightly burned yak butter and served with 6 variations of Kale grown in the bride's own garden.

the bride and groom treat the band like help and paid them accordingly, requesting ABBA medley, Billy Joel and Green Day. the whole band is frisked- frisked by the rent -a-cop guards

the aunt complains ( "and I told them and told them and I told them again that "I will survive" is not an appropriate song for the bridesmaid's dance, it's not 1637- we're not wearing identical dresses to ward off evil spirits and I wanna hear something peppy from these overpaid bastids who call themselves a wedding band !"

we're just glad we didn’t have to play “Honesty” for the father-bride dance.

the Maitre’d was on to us protecting food and champagne
no interaction with the guests
no shrimp no oysters no foie gras

times sees all and time reveals-nothing is done secretly
times hears all things - explains it all
Nothing is done secretly hence these tears, hence these tears ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah


When the cherries in the bowl turn to wine
we’ll drink it like was is our last communion
The wisdom of the ages died of hunger in the snow
Klansmen play guitars in Keith Richard open G
I took a cue from Eduardo Mateo and ordered the tofu
against my better judgement against my better judgement
against my better judgement against my better judgement

I remember all the parties the parties for Richard Rogers-
remember all parties - the parties before I was born.

live each day like it was our first day
live each day like it was our worst day
In darkness over water through great cities
