I have all my things away
In here, with me
I can get them when I need
But not today
What's the use in trying to stay
Inside the seams
Where you stitched your hopes and dreams
Back in the day
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down
--CHORUS--
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
Walk until my knees get weak
My eyes, they stare
Sunken, tangled in my hair
They comb the street
Spare a piece of something deep
For me to share
If it's something I can wear
It's yours to keep
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down

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 first heard "Adrienne & Adrianne" on FF's "Tailwinds" album, which had it's own kind of magic thanks to Kenni Holmen and the extra flavor of that sax section. This version reminds me of the Harlem Globetrotters and the piano and drum work are fantastic. "It Gets Funkier II" appeals to my computer nerd sensibilities. This album features Theo Katzman's best drumming that I ever heard. t0cktock

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
