lyrics

When society falls you’ll kiss me hard
And even in your spit
I’ll taste the turn and we’ll go to the mall
And burn that useless shit

We’ll gather up some cars and we’ll all pile in
Use the last of the gas from our glorious past
To get to Oregon

I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare
I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare

Fluorescent green,
That finally faded enough to show me
That I was living in a Wal-Mart dream with you
Open up my mouth
Spoon-feed me food
Just in case I don’t forget my paycheck

The idyllic lands on your cereal box are paper thin
Lubricating my eyes to the bright blue skies on a box of Claritin
I swallow down that pill but that building only grew
And at the top photographers take a shot
They use to sell that view to you

I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare
I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare

Fluorescent green,
That finally faded enough to show me
That I was living in a Wal-Mart dream with you
Open up my mouth
Spoon-feed me food
Just in case I don’t forget my paycheck

I’m not in the market for that!
I’m not in the market for that!
You’re selling us what we already have!

I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare
I thought I bought into spending time
It was only a timeshare

Fluorescent green,
That finally faded enough to show me
That I was living in a Wal-Mart dream with you
Open up my mouth
Spoon-feed me food
Just in case I don’t forget my paycheck

about

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida

Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief, trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.

“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
- South Florida Gay News
