He walks like a solider
Straight talker, a gold card heavy spender
Got a budget and a basket of things to see
But that soul for you is in me.
He makes you feel older
Folks say that he used to date Cinderella
Bought you two pairs of glass slippers, baby, just in case
But that soul for you is in me
--CHORUS--
It's gonna be hard for you
When I'm there
Like a ghost, haunting your headphones, passing through the air
It's gonna be hard for you
When I'm gone
And every day goes by...
I live in my own world
Make nothing for money, a daydream hustler
Not a loser, but I sure ain't exemplary
And that soul for you it's in me
I ain't no pretender
I maxed-out my gold card when I bought my Fender
Baby, all I got is music and groceries
And that soul for you, it's in me
--CHORUS--
Soul is a sign
Soul is a sine wave, waving goodbye
Goodbye from your heart, back to your mind
And every day goes by...
Standing you still
Soul is a pill
Slipped in the "time heals" drink
And the wine feels heavenly
Hearts don't trust in minds
'Cause every day goes by...
--CHORUS--

Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman
I spent my New Year's hangover listening to "Sky Mall" on repeat, when I discovered my new favorite bass player. "Fugue State" is what you get if the Muscle Shoals musicians took a break to noodle around on Bach and eventually became my wake-up alarm. "First Place" reminds me of that scene in "Clerks" where Randal walks into the adult video store. t0cktock
