Liner Notes

#skirmish #acousticrock A rougher demo than my usual. My Alice Cooper influences are showing here.

Lyrics

Get me out of here I say that a lot I hope no one can hear I hope I don’t get caught

Now the quickest way out Is to walk out the door Turn the key to the right Press my foot to the floor

Get in the car Turn on the beats Head on over to the crazy side streets

It’s not just being myself It’s not just seeking distraction I want to get off the shelf I want a piece of the action

When it’s the constant frustration I know what that can cost And it feels like isolation Locked in a war with the boss

Get in the car Turn on the beats Head on over to the crazy side streets

There must be A place for me Somewhere But for now I know how And where

To get out of the blues To get out of the hype Forget the avenues I guess I’m not that type

See the bigger picture Be a part of the plan Get into the mixture You do what you can

Get in the car Turn on the beats Head on over to the crazy side streets

Good portrait of your frustrated narrator. I can believe in him easily. This would sound great with a full band treatment.

Yes, I can hear Alice Cooper too. Awesome lyric and performance, vocal delivery, guitar & all. Enjoyed listening.

I could hear this as an Alice Cooper rocker, drum breaks after "crazy side streets", electric guitars with a "school's out" rhythm. Nice take on the skirmish.

The sound you've got here instantly takes me into the scene, somehow both energetic and melancholy. I also like how you use "turn" in other senses—turn the keys, turn on the beats.
