May 5 1980

from My Lair by Steve BLaque

/

about

The track had been thrown around since around 2009 with various song titles. Ultimately and during the recording of My Lair it became titled as May 5 1980, primarily because that was the date that was scrawled across the phone when I woke later than i needed one particular morning. Soon after the lyric was written and it was the 2nd song on the album that had been recorded as one song, but came out another.

lyrics

May 5 1980

i woke, it was may 5 1980
i ain't born, nor am i fuckin' dead
someone was blowin' on my dice
and givin' me the chance to say no and hang here instead

and so i roam, within infinity
like in dust in time washed all over with incense n' myrrh
3 blind mice and the white rabbit
nearly wrapped tokens of someone's self worth

Pre chorus
she said Ok you've been there
now it's time for you to decide
i'll gie you another go, but we've got way better rides
chorus
and so i took the cue
and traded in my chips
i walked out of that casino
jumped a planetary ship
n' boy was that the best call
i ever made
i don't miss deception
hate and being afraid

and now i fly through the universe
affording a smile of those who follow in gods
since where i'm from
that game just aint' the game
built on superstition
that shit just ain't the odds

pre chorus
she said Ok you've been there
now it's time for you to decide
i'll gie you another go, but we've got way better rides
chorus
and so i took the cue
and traded in my chips
i walked out of that casino
jumped a planetary ship
n' boy was that the best call
i ever made
i don't miss deception
hate and being afraid

my phone for continually dishing me up dates of another era and the modern day absurdity that has befallen religion as the world further erodes into a kind've spiritual nonsense.
