lyrics

Now don't it sound funny --
Someone like me livin' with someone like you
It takes a lot of money just to play the game

Arrivin' after midnight
Body like a board -- back bent to the frame
With thought to bringin' flowers -- then come the rain

Call me a tool
Say I'm just a suit, I used to feel like The King
Reclining in my office on the hundredth floor

I used to feel the future
In every handshake behind every door
Could tell you what's to come, but I can't say no more

And now I'm watchin' the world for a sign
Thinkin' this all is related
Watchin' the world turn around, lord I know, lord I know

Up here the air's familiar --
A comfortable chair, and gold athletic club card
I know some pretty girls you really got to meet

And through my clouded window
Up here the world below seems small and sweet
Look down on all the people shouting in the street

[refrain] + [solo thru verse] + [refrain]

Now don't it sound funny --
Someone like you livin' with someone like me
It takes a lot of money to conceal the shame

about

The Melobellies Chapel Hill, North Carolina

A genre-bending tapestry of songs from the point-of-view of colorful characters transcending their every-day existence. On Plymouth Rock, The Melobellies paint pictures of love and loss, and great expectations against the ragged backdrop of the American Dream.

Sometimes a bit cheeky, often laced with sharp irony, the music of The Melobellies is easy to dance to, but made for listening.
