about

this song was written in 1998 in my bedroom in New York. It was recorded in 2001 in Potsdam. Musicians on song are Mike Shannon and Mike Vedic.

lyrics

once upon a time there was this little girl
whose time was mostly consumed with watching the world
and she seen people come and shes seen people go
and she never quite understood why they never flew as one

and that made me question my brain
and i always want my thoughts to maintain

well the shades are open but i cant see out side
and words have been broken babe but i learn to survive
that's the reason why i keep moving on
cuz if i don't well babe the world will quickly forget i was ever gone

and that almost makes me cry and slowly start to wonder why

oh well once upon a time there lived a little bit of confidence
and nature took its course and inside there was a war

well here we go round but i don't know how to turn
i'm stumbling while i'm wondering why
my pace is so god damn absurd
i wont bother running babe
cuz there ain't no where to hide

because the grass i always going to be so much greener on the other mother fucking side

and that makes me wonder- am i ever going to understand?
am i?

oh well once upon a time there lived a little bit of confidence
and nature took its course and inside there was a war!
oh once upon a time my life lefts swollen spots of emptiness
but i washed them all away!
i washed them all away!

la da di da da~ la da di da da

once upon a time there was this woman to be
whose mind it mostly consisted of a world for all to see
and she still sees people come and she still watches them all go
and she laughs to herself because inside
well she understands that they will never know

never questioned my brain again
and my sanity was maintained in the end.
