lyrics

Burn It

I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark joy
I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark joy
Songs to ash and ash to wind
I ain’t looking back again
I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark joy

So the house your daddy built is gone
The house your daddy built is gone
There’s a remedy or there is none
For a shadow in the noonday sun when
The house your daddy built is gone

Askance Askew I wanna move like glaciers used to move
Askew Askance - when you’re six feet down you can’t learn to dance

There’s the circus that you put on display
The one lit like the thanksgiving day parade
The howling dogs of hunger sang
And it came out all cash and clang
And that’s the circus that you put on display

And there’s a song that is for you alone
The simple song that’s known by you alone
The tune that’s perched upon your lips
The one that calls your mothership
That song that is for you alone

Askance Askew - I wanna move like glaciers used to move
Askew askance - when you’re six feet down you can’t learn to dance

Askance Askew - I wanna move like glaciers used to move
Askew Askance - when you’re six feet down you can’t learn to dance

I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark joy
I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark joy
I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark
I’m gonna burn it if it doesn’t spark
Joy

about

Wilson Marks Austin, Texas

Wilson Marks studied jazz in New Orleans and tacos in Austin TX. Pop-sensible melodies over technical, jazz-inspired fretwork. His voice is one part gravel (a la Tom Waits), one part whimsical (more like Harry Nilsson). Songs of love and longing, but more magical than your average fare, like the love and longing from one alien to another, from a merman to his mermaid. ... more
