lyrics

Funny the world in a world all alone
I'm a fool with a curse, I'm alone in a world
I've accomplished nothing
But accomplished more than I thought

Funny the shine of the stars in the sky
There's a bird singing sweetly in back of my mind
There's a funny looking albino living next door

And though I thought to myself
The songs of my childhood
Running around in the wilderness days
The grass and the trees and the sound of the church bells
Running around in my head

Funny the face of the girl in the window
Her hair gleaming brightly in the autumn rain
The wind never blows through my house as it did once before

Funny to think 'bout the days that have gone
The breeze of the ocean, the songbirds that sang
The feeling's gone, but the other feeling lingers on

And though I thought to myself
The songs of my childhood
Running around in the wilderness days
The grass and the trees and the sound of the church bells
Running around in my head

And since my sixteenth birthday
My virginity has lost its charm
But who's complaining? I'm not complaining
Who's complaining? I'm not complaining at all

Funny the world in a world all alone
I feel like I've lost everything that I own
Funny the funny's aren't funny anymore

Funny the tears as they fall from my eyes
There are two kinds of tears
One from truth, one from lies
There's a broken soldier who's going home

And though I thought to myself
The songs of my childhood
Running around in the wilderness days
The grass and the trees and the sound of the church bells
Running around in my head

Funny the world in a world all alone
I feel like I've lost everything that I own
Funny these sounds as they're running around in my head
Running around in my head
Running around in my head, around in my head
Look at my head

The band played up and down California, were popular at the UCD Whole Earth Festival, had a standing last-Friday-of-the-month gig at Hotel Utah in San Francisco, and were regulars at the Palms Playhouse when it was in Davis, Ca.

The band broke up in 1996.
