about

A true story I made up. Or, a lie I saw. Whichever. In any event, a song about a teenage encounter witnessed on a quiet city lane, from the vantage of a front porch, in the midst of an adult aged party. She was certainly unhappy with her companions, as they drifted past.

lyrics

Mad girl standing on the street
Wearing face paint and glitter
Like she’s a child of 3
She’s mad at her friends
They’re so high on drink and smoke
They’re just teasing her
But she can’t take the joke

And it’s just too much at 17
Best friend boyfriend
That whole messed up scene
Inside she’s churning as she turns away
Too jumbled up for words when she gets that way

Drunk girl wanders from the map
Had too many drinks
with inattentive friends
A
They’re all talking crap
She pushes off to be on her own
On the bus
Stormy thoughts follow her all the way home

Sad girl in her tiny room
Writes too that night
On a cheap guitar
her melancholy tune
It’s her story beginning middle and end
It’s got heroes
and villains
From the cast of her friends

And it’s just too much at 17
Best friend boyfriend
That whole messed up scene
Inside she’s churning as she turns away
Too jumbled up for words when she gets that way

The Caliopians San Francisco, California

Cali, as we are a California band, full of the sounds of the southern desert, the coastal surf towns, Bakersfield twang,and the inner city we live in. Opians, cause we have a big place in our hearts and heads for Ethiopian jazz, and Afro Cuban diaspora sounds. A big slice of Klezmer, and what ever else falls into our listening life. ... more
