lyrics

Here I Go © Brian Straub 12/15/15

Dancing on a thread a mile above the ground
Between a midlife crisis and a nervous breakdown
Hey now baby won’t you dance with me
This ain’t the way my life’s supposed to be

Lying to myself everything is fine
This here mess; it ain’t mine
When I start slippin’ and I take that fall
It’s a hundred miles an hour to a dead end wall

Chorus

Hey ho now here I go
Hold on tight that’s all I know

Evil Kenevil’s got nothin’ on me
I got one good eye but I still can’t see
Brain’s been broke ‘bout a thousand times
There’s a trail of pieces ‘bout a mile down the line

Jumpin’ out of planes ain’t no thrill
But I still got skills to get me killed
My parachute’s open, but it’s full of holes
I’m telling you now to look out below

Chorus

Dancin’ on a thread a mile above the ground
‘tween a midlife crisis and a nervous breakdown
My parachute’s open, but it’s full of holes
I’m telling you now to look out below

Chorus 2x

Hey ho now here I go
Hold on tight that’s all I know
Hey ho now here I go
Hold on tight that’s all I know

about

Braintwang Seattle, Washington

From Baltimore to Seattle, I've been writing songs for over 30 years and have built up a body of work. My two previous bands, Armadillo Borealis and Secondhand Sunday, performed and recorded some of my songs that are represented here. This year (2016), I started Dog House Prayers and began documenting more of my songs through home recording. ... more

Three In The Foot

This is a home recording. Throwing my time and energy into making this record was an emotional breakthrough for me at a low point in my life, giving me drive and purpose. Braintwang
