album: MINE AND YOURS
demo version released Christmas 2004 as a downloadable mp3 on mineandyours.com

"[The demo was] recorded at Paul Deakin’s house in Nashville during a post-breakup residency I had there before I moved to New York. It features my only released drumming performance to date."

when you gonna leave me alone
wake up and get on with your life
when you gonna pick up the phone
can't you see i'm lonely tonight

stranded out on venus again
waiting for the tv to speak
where are all my beautiful friends
toasting off my beautiful week

would you throw me a rope if i asked you to dance
swallow me whole if i gave you the chance oh yeah
somewhere in space there's a start and an end
show me the way ‘cause i'm stranded on venus again, on venus again

strolling down the length of la brea
watching all the angels with spoons
holding out the length of the day here
praying for the light of the moon

would you throw me a rope if i asked you to dance
swallow me whole if i gave you the chance oh yeah
somewhere in space there's a start and an end
show me the way ‘cause i'm stranded on venus again, on venus again

hung out by the neon lights
well maybe i'm wrong for thinking i'm right
hello, california can't you see i'm lonely tonight

would you throw me a rope if i asked you to dance
swallow me whole if i gave you the chance oh yeah
somewhere in space there's a start and an end
show me the way ‘cause i'm stranded on venus again, on venus again
