Lyrics
Obsession
Pour another drink from that decanter
Fill this room with empty banter
But listen to the moon make her confessions
You’re my obsession
Light them candles on the mantle
Play that music soft and gentle
But know my soul’s in your possession
You’re my obsession
I’ve been waiting for too long
For you to get me wrong
I’ve been waiting for too long
You’re still standing on the pier
I’ve been sailing for a year
I want to get this right
Don’t have to be tonight
Solo
I’ve been waiting for too long
For you to get me wrong
I’ve been waiting for so long
While you’re standing on the pier
I’ve been sailing for a year
We got to get this right
Don’t have to be tonight
Draw them curtains on the window
See me safely out your front door
But all my valor’s just discretion
You’re my obsession
You, me, sanctified
A little bit of love, and a whole lot of wine
Info for the Gearheads
About Brian Walker
I am an Aries, which as you know means I’m diurnal, bodacious, choleric, balding, and azeotropic. There used to be three of me, but two of us decided one was enough, so we liquidated the third one and had a death-match for the position of Me. I could tell you who won, but then I’d have to inhale you.
People often ask me, "Can you please shut up?" It’s an interesting question. I like to busy myself with things like spearfishing and skullduggery and eating yams. I am 2 inches taller than you and weigh 12.5 stone.
I was born in Indianapolis, Carbondale, and T'bilisi 483 months ago, but I only started going bald 140 months ago, give or take. I’ve been making music for around 372 months. It only takes me 10 months or so to put together a single tune. The playing time of “Obsession” is .000125% of a month.
