Oberon

Xs on my hands
I play in a rock and roll band
I'm fronting I got nothing
That's OK you understand
We were teenagers
living on favors
It was all so simple
But the years came in layers
Mausoleum or the catacombs
Mausoleum, mausoleum
I heard this in a movie
It reminds me of your beauty
Penny & the Quarters
You and me moonlight marauders
Mausoleum or the catacombs
Mausoleum, mausoleum
When times get rough I want to run
I'll stand by ground til the battle is won
Titania you are my queen
I'll be your Oberon
I've had my thoughts of leaving
We all do the grind is draining
This city is unforgiving me
But I wouldn't trade us for anything
Mausoleum or the catacombs
Mausoleum, mausoleum
When times get rough I want to run
I'll stand my ground til the battle is won
Titania you are my queen
I'll be
You are my queen
I'll be your Oberon
Your name on my lips
You in the moonlight lady eclipse
Two hearts entwined
You and me for all time

Driving home late, rain pouring down
Jim James singing a hillside song
Thinking of the women, that I’ve loved best
The one who headed east, the one who went west
Wondering about the time
And when our paths align
Is this what it’s all about? Cause this love never runs out
Darling I will love you ‘til I die
However or whether you are in my life
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
You’re gonna spend your brightest years
Counting on a love that never appears
Then you’re gonna panic and settle down
With the next best thing to come around
Darling I’ve been here all along
I had that fear but now it’s gone
They don’t know you like I do, they don’t know what we’ve been through
I told you I would love you ‘til I die
However or whether you are in my life
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you, I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you, I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now

Lost Summer
05:19

Oh my God this must be the longest year
Lost summer fantasies turn to fears
I don’t know what day it is
Weeks to months maybe years
Feels like we’re only going backwards
The wind is still on a warm summer night
Little sims on a city grid, under the neon lights
Panoramic hilltops, bowls in the parking lots
Ruby red eyes, colonial donuts
Strum from the I to the IV like that was all we got
And the truth is
I miss the music, miss my friends
I miss the magic
Nights we thought these times would never end
Busting speakers in my mother’s minivan
Spaghetti western painted desert stalled on the salt flats
Underneath infinite stars
A band of brothers, silver string guitars
Feels like a dream from a distant past
And the truth is
I miss the music, miss my friends
I miss the magic
Nights we thought these times would never end
Nights we thought these times would never end
Nights we thought these times would never end
And the truth is
I miss the music, miss my friends
I miss the magic
Nights we thought these times would never end
Nights we thought these times would never end
Nights we thought these times would never end
Oh my God this must be the longest year

I just wanna take you to a show
Buy you a drink hug everyone we know
Find somewhere cheap to eat
Everything’s closed or double what it used to be
This year this country is a ghost town
Sometimes the silence is the most deafening sound
Now the days have turned to numbers
Scream into the void we’ve been torn asunder
I don’t know when this hurricane will end
By and by I’ll stare in the eye
But you can’t even hear me cry
We weren’t meant to live like this
Soon we’ll forget just what we missed
I ain’t got nowhere to be
Depend on noone I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free
I don’t know when this hurricane will end
By and by I’ll stare in the eye
But you can’t even hear me cry
I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free
I guess this is being free

Oh darling if I could only see your face
You and me against the whole human race
I'm in a half life, burning through these glory daze
you and me against the whole human race
If I could hold myself the way I hold you
If I could love myself the way that you do
But I got a fever and I'll scream til my face turns blue
I'm in the cold and I haven't got a clue
So give me a memory to make some more romance
This love is living off a sliver of the past
Every car that passes our front door
Makes me want you more and more and more
Tell me how to make this house a home
when you know that I'm no good on my own
Oh, tell me how to make this house a home
when you know that I'm no good on my own
Guess I never learned how to live alone
I'm no good I'm no good I'm no good, on my own
Darling if I could only see your face
You and me against the whole human race
I'm in a half life, burning through these glory daze
you and me against the whole human race
you and me against the whole human race

George Harrison

Sixteen hour days eight days a week
‘Cross four state lines two eyes and no sleep
Always on the brink of breaking down
But I gone too far to ever turn around
Living to get by, ain’t no way to live
It’s all I’ve known and I’m pretty good at it
Don’t believe in Jesus, don’t believe in God
I believe in song and I believe in love
Guess I’ll just keep on keeping on
I want to be like George Harrison
Tomorrow may rain following the sun
These days I can’t seem to find the time
To clear my mind and let my spirit run
Sixteen hour days eight days a week
Working four jobs two kids ain’t slept one wink
But she ain’t ever thought of breaking down
Cause what’d they do if mama ain’t around?
Living to get by only way to live
It’s all she’s known and she’s damn good at it
Guess she’ll just keeping on keeping on
I want to be like George Harrison
Tomorrow may rain following the sun
These days I can’t seem to find the time
To clear my mind and let my spirit run

Put my guitar in my trunk You never know where the nights end up
You never know, where the night’s gonna go
I got my buzz, but I ain’t gonna miss the show
Don’t look down at my phone
I screen a call from my folks, I’ll call em back tomorrow
I ain’t got nowhere to be, Tomorrow was meant for sleep
Hey, this is why I’m living, Don’t tell me I’m dreaming, Cause I don’t wanna know
I think we met before, How was your tour? Well I’ve been home for months
Living like a teenager, Li-li-li-living like a teenager
When will you stop living like a teenager? Oh, living like a teenager
Didn’t do that much today, Tomorrow looks like more of the same
But it’s OK, because I own the night
It’s when our truth, steps into the moonlight
The way it is is way beyond me,
What some people do for money, It’s such a waste of our potential
But who can blame them it’s just the system, I ain’t got no solution
But to burn it all to dust and ash, Start over from scratch, and don’t look back
Strum my steel guitar, Drive in my car, Do it all over again
Living like a teenager, Li-li-li-living like a teenager
When will you stop living like a teenager? Oh, living like a teenager
Li-li-li-living like a teenager
Li-li-li-living like a teenager
When will you stop living like a teenager? Oh, living like a teenager

Still Spinning

Take all your plans throw them out the window
Nowhere left to run so it’s best you just lay low
Do all the things I said I’d do if I only had the chance to
This is the great pause all the bets are off
Life keeps getting in the way of living
Knock the world on its side it’ll keep on spinning
You can beat us down but we’re gonna keep on singing
Turn it around this loser’s gonna keep on winning
Noone knows I suppose I take comfort in the unknown
Learn some new skills to survive this brave new world
I’m tired of talking into a tiny television screen
We all need the touch of another human being
Life keeps getting in the way of living
Knock the world on its side it’ll keep on spinning
You can beat us down but we’re gonna keep on singing
Is it too much to ask to get by?
A roof over my head and my lover by my side
Food on the table and friendship through the night
Food on the table and friendship through the night
Food on the table and friendship through the night

King Dream Bodega, California
King Dream is a Bay Area psych-rock project from longtime songwriter and musician Jeremy Lyon. With roots planted in the golden era of California psychedelia, and a wry, playful energy that places him firmly in the 21st century, Lyon charts a path through timeless themes: disillusionment with oneself, with adulthood, with one’s country — and that there’s still plenty worthy of a love song. ... more
