Great rehearsal tonight. Things really coming together, I think. I wrote a song especially for the band and we worked it up. It's the second part of a two song suite called "Fantasy"/Reality". I don't know how they read but the lyrics sound good in the context of the song.

Here are the lyrics:





"Reality"

Hear me out...don't quit your day job

Not just yet, maybe not at all

Though I know you think you hear

The giddy sound of the good life callin' out to you

Sayin' "Come along!"

But that isn't Miss September whispering



Your glossy dreams...of the beautiful people

Far above everyone you know

Like they're from another world

A better place than anywhere you've ever been

You still think she's giving it to you

But it isn't Miss September's to give



And you'll never be a playboy, darling

And you'll never own a penthouse, baby

And you're never gonna be a playboy

So don't quit your day job, darling



It's enough...people laughing at the

Party jokes that you've memorized

And you tell them so well

But it's too much to expect her not to notice

The lecherous gleam there in your eye

Now you've frightened Miss September away...



And you'll never be a playboy, darling

And you'll never own a penthouse, baby

And you're never gonna be a playboy

So don't quit your day job, darling...
