Name: Fantasy
Duration: P00H04M42S
Description: In November 2011, I attempted the National Solo Album Month challenge and wrote and recorded an entire album from start to finish. The song was originally titles Fantasy In Blue because it's basically a 12 bar blues song. I always like to write blues when the creative flow seems bogged down. I was a bit stuck for another track, so I wrote this. This song was the last one written during November.

lyrics

Fantasies and
Twisted dreams and
Bittersweet tongue to chew
Pulling strings and
Feigning feelings and
Going back on truth
Big wide eyes
Little white lies
Go down smooth

You give me, give me, give me, give me what I want
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me it won't stop
Make me, make me, make me, think I'm what you want
I believe
In your fantasy

Portraits in oil and
Lives to be spoiled and
Colors that mix into new hues
Intoxicated with
Love fabricated
It's hard to believe bad news
Compromises
In hot disguises
Go down smooth

You give me, give me, give me, give me what I want...

Fantasies and
Twisted dreams and
The taste of forbidden fruit
Curious wine and
New ways to dine and
Feelings that simply don't compute
Big, black lies
From sexy eyes
Go down smooth

You give me, give me, give me, give me what I want...

You give me, give me, give me, give me what I want...
