lyrics

I’ll be the greatest,
Goddamn jobber you’ve ever seen
Let the ref count to three,
Who cares this isn’t me
Take my mask off
Loosen the strings of my boot seams
See a sea of broken teeth
Would you touch my broken feet?

Well peasant life,
Never look in the eyes of a greater man’s trophy wife
I’m not pretty enough to hang out in these bars
I’ve got a weathered face and these palms are soft

The ghost of me,
Will be worse than lonely leaves,
Thrown against your front porch
Well the ghost of me,
Will be worse than lonely leaves,
Thrown against your front porch

What happens if,
If we get old or if we get sick?
And the idea of children never occurred,
Because words like security,
Are foreign to people like you and me

And your wrist hurts,
From your job,
As a grocery store clerk
And the loans from the education that you never completed
Have left you in a rut feeling defeated

My job as the salesman,
Is to sell you the dream,
But the dream now feels empty
Was it the economy or is it me?

The ghost of me,
Will be worse than lonely leaves,
Thrown against your front porch
Well the ghost of me,
Will be worse than lonely leaves,
Thrown against your front porch

Bashful Hips Chicago, Illinois

Bashful Hips is an Avant Garde project from the mind of Ian Fellerman. Bringing his sometimes searing, sometimes hilarious but always poignant observations to bear over an entire stable of Noise Rock/Hip Hop informed Electronica, Ian's music is never stable, always changing and searching for the sound to express his feelings.
