Tell Me a Story

Hey everyone,

This one goes out to all y'all in Sunnyvale California. Thanks for hanging out at this questionable corner of the Internet.

We are forever attempting to storm the gates of Heaven here, however, we've been known to get the address wrong.

Today, the clouds cleared for this little dove to land on my shoulder.

I now offer it to The People.


TELL ME A STORY (Lyrics by Joe Nolan)

Tell me a story
maybe one the never ends
bring me to glory
like you would your only friend
When they come to stone me
Have some mercy left to lend
Tell me a story baby
One that never ends

somewhere down the river there's a mission
there's a mill with a spinning water wheel
there's a hawk up in the sky
who's just busy getting high enough
to see if this here story is for real

there's a woman with a baby by the water
the autumn burning brightly in her hair
the current carries off her fears
the water stands in for her tears
and tomorrow she'll be far away from there

Tell me a story
maybe one the never ends
bring me to glory
like you would your only friend
When they come to stone me
Have some mercy left to lend
Tell me a story baby
One that never ends

there's a man with a rifle near the hedgerow
with his red dog running ragged on the green
when you look into his eyes
they are made of alibis
he's the saddest person that I've ever seen

there's an angel with an arrow near the treeline
tonight he'll fly off across the sea
he's not tempting fate
in the way he hesitates
he is patient and he's waiting there for me

Tell me a story
maybe one the never ends
bring me to glory
like you would your only friend
When they come to stone me
Have some mercy yet to lend
Tell me a story baby
One that never ends

Tell me a story
maybe one the never ends
bring me to glory
like you would your only friend
When they come to stone me
Have some mercy yet to lend
Tell me a story baby
One that never ends
