So auditions are tomorrow.
You ready?
Nope. I'm still having a hard time trying to squeeze my pieces into two minutes.
Funny how two minutes seem like an eternity when you're up there, but like about twenty seconds when you're preparing. When I was getting ready for Irene Ryan, I had no idea how I was going to stretch my material to fill a five minute block.
More the fool, I.
Shut up. You all suck, anyway. Listen to a damn song and butt the hell out. Let Sam Shepard be your guide.
I'm at loose ends
I don't know what to do
Always dreaming big dreams
Half dreams
Wanting her and loving you
Te tell the truth I don't know which way to turn
Give me something to hold on to
Something I can learn
Oh come right here
Come right here when you feel alone
And no one speaks for you
You can do it on your own
Show me the way to it
You know I need a friend
A song to pull me from the hole I'm in
Give me something low-down
Give me something high
Pulling in the power of dark or light
To destroy to the left
Create on the right
Oh come right here
Come right here it's such a simple song
It'll cure all your misery
It won't move you wrong
So open up your mouth don't think about a thing
Feel the movement in you and sing
Sing sing sing sing
Oh I was at loose ends
Now knowing what to do
I needed to open up
So I turned to you
Help me to do it
I was always dreaming too high
Help me pull my star down from the sky
Down on the ground
Where I can feel it
Where I can touch it
Where I can be it
Oh I don't want to give up
I believe a light still shines
It shines for everyone
It's yours
It's mine
Oh come right here
Come right here you know you're not alone
If you got no saviour you can do it on your own
Open up your heart don't think about a thing
Feel the movement in you and sing
"You gotta be a rock-and-roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth."
