about

"A while back, along the flat-time road, I had a rollicking li'l duo called SlowPoke with NYC East Village guitarist supremo Jason Goodrow. My manager at the time, the illustrious Lynne Robinson, secured us a few hours recording time at Record Plant with the talented engineer Jim Ball (John Lennon, Aerosmith).
I brought out this song which I called my "Prince song". It stems from when I was a child and being told that "God sees everything" This scared me, I was like, "Even in the bathtub?"
In the song God is the ultimate voyeur.
Prince died this past week. I heard about it from tweets posted by Paul Stanley and Nikki Sixx. Guess it's a Sign of The Times. I followed it with this Facebook post:
"I am a root of a vast tree. Some branches die and new ones are born. Friends of mine were blessed with the birth of a new baby boy this morning. The buds of the tree outside my window burst into flowers under the noon sun. Prince's passing hurts though the remembrance of his brilliance is a joyful cry. Scream for air little one, it's your time now."

lyrics

GOD

Baby $troller got it all sussed
Some do what they can, some do what they must
They pay her with tickets reading In God We Trust
Baby's life is a journey
She goes from bust 2 bust

She bend down for a cigarette
Dropped outside the discothèque
But before she puts it 2 her shiny lips
She looks up 2 God and blows him a holy kiss

Yeah! Yeah! God is everywhere!
He's over here
He's over there
Yeah! Yeah!

He's at the window of Baby $troller
Watching her dance for a naked nun
The sister thinks her life is over
But God knows it's just begun

Yeah! Yeah! God is everywhere!
He's over here
He's over there
Yeah! Yeah!

Hallelujah!
