about

Side 2 Song 1

An attempt to mix Indian-ish guitar playing with baroque keyboards. We spent a lot of time getting the Juno 6 to sound like a harpsichord. Most people thought it was a banjo.

I used to imagine what it was like to be insane. This is one of those imaginings.

lyrics

ROOM ON THE EDGE

In a room on the edge, second floor,
I stare at the ceiling and listen for the door
They're playing outside, cooking up fun
Chasing goblins on the run

Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima

In a room on the edge my vision's blurred
Tell me a wish I've never heard
In a room on the edge, through paper walls,
I hear them laughing in the hall

Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima

In a room on the edge...

In a room on the edge there's broken glass
And all the curtains are made of brass

Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima

In my room on the edge.
