Oberon 05:01
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

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

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

about

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
