Hello, Mr. Dawson Get up off your cot Someone's been out here waiting on you I guess you must've forgot Hello, Mr. Sideshow How's life treating you? I hope the crowds don't crush you On your way back through Hello, Mr. Pirate Where's that keepsake ring? Someone said you gave it away To a girl you met last spring Hello, Mr. Raisin I hear you're all dried out The life that you've been living It aint' no way to get out I got voted in Same thing again and again I check out all my wins And I get voted in Hello, Mr. Seashell Is anyone thinking of you? I done heard the coast tell the gulls upstairs There ain't nothing much left to do Hello, Mr. Moonpie I hear they've been putting you down Well, I still believe in miracles And I think we might need one now I got voted in Same thing again and again I check out all my wins And I get voted in!

A Common Girl 02:26
lyrics

A common girl She was very plain But simple in That old fashioned way She gave me food And place to stay That girl cared for In a hundred ways I took to her Against my will I drank too much And stayed high on pills I bottomed out Like my fate was sealed She remained So completely real She let me lie With her in bed I was using her I'd hear her cry I knew her stead I was unconcerned I was insecure And had much to prove And it mattered not that much Really what I'd do I could've won the race Or a mountain moved Still a hole remained That I filled with booze [Cut Verse: I felt despair I thought of Satre For I'd played a game Inauthentic parts Life pierced my side So I tore her apart 'Cause of wounded pride I broke her heart] She'd let me lie With her in bed I was using her I'd hear her cry I knew her stead I was unconcerned Alt Verses We played like kids We spoke in tongues In Arkansas When we were young We saw the light We took the drug Our futures bright And filled with love In darker dreams In witches brews I gurgled 'neath them Like a dangling noose And when it came Time to choose I chose to blame Not me, but you

I Drew A Zero (Except that You're in My Life) 03:26
lyrics
buy track
When I was about twenty, babe I made a mess of my life Hard to just call a phase Hard to romanticize Many dark beds I've lain Many deep deaths I've died All a lot of self made pain Hard to not criticize And I drew a zero, babe Except that you're here in my life And there ain't nothing I would change For fear that it'd jeoprodize [Cut Stanza: I traveled and found that I Desired almost endless things And could never be satisfied And found I'd no choice but sing] Like a fool I believed that art Would grow the more drugs I'd do Or the more that I flayed my heart Like a stupid and naive fool I drew a zero, babe Except that you're in my life There ain't nothing I would change For fear that it'd jeoprodize An idealist I've been at heart Heavenly goals I've always set With my life and my love and my art But those goals I ain't never met [Cut Stanza: I've been a drunk for so long In a thwarted search for the divine Thinking I'd reach through my song To a place far beyond my own time]

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
