about

"An office Christmas party materialized around me one night in Edinburgh and I went home and wrote about it. We can choose to experience life's moments through various lenses. That night I think I was wearing an abstract impressionist's monocle with a surreal tint." - Lach

lyrics

At the social ceremony
The office Christmas party
I fell into the other side of night
The cleavages were drinking
Rosé and cabernet
I was thinking of taking flight

There were birds in the room
That no one shooed away
Perhaps these crows were invisible
But their droppings were fluorescent
And it made me effervescent
So I decided to see if I could pull

I chatted up a tipsy owl
Who ironically cried foul
When I mentioned I kissed on instinct
She said, “A form you must fill out!”
And this form she did pull out
Along with a quill and a 100 proof bottle of ink

I got a little nervous
After reading her terms of service
I gave excuses and got up to go
“But you haven’t made a move”
She said, “I thought you were in the groove.”
Puckering her lips and waiting for the blow

She wanted to see my record contract
Said it was an aphrodisiac
Some say don’t look back in anger
Some just say don’t look back
Either way I heard a calling
From outside where the snow was falling

At the human aviary
the biggest luminary
was the man with the paunch and the bowl
The feather weights were singing
A song of Santa fleeing
And it followed me out into the cold

Down the wet streets of Edinburgh
I shook and I shivered
not at the damp but at the close call
Of ending the evening
In the nest of a grieving
modern product of the tower’s recent fall
