Ok, I wrote this just to make myself laugh and for stress management therapy.  A total goof. Hope it makes you laugh as well. When I am doing a set break, I usually like to leave people looking at one another going "What the .......was that?" https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/pink-as-you-arePink as You Are By David Snyder V1 Now the thunder is gone And I’m sitting alone A plutonium glare spreading out in my room I see the pink hair of the man on t.v. I see your lips move Are you speaking to me When I was a child I used to believe The paper would come With good news for me Now I’m taking my pills To drown out the noise Comfortably dumb like the good girls and boys And I’m pink as a stone Here in my room Singing my song I wrote it for you CH: Pink as you are You know you’re a star You’re pink as the sun You’re pink as the moon And we hope and we pray You’ll be leaving today Like a witch on a broom Like a pig on the wing You’re pinker than Floyd It’s as pink as you get And all that you know Is what you’ll forget V2 Just killing some time While I’m losing my mind A small drag of this Will help me unwind When I was a child I laughed at a clown He looked just like you Now the clown’s all around The clown’s in my mind Taking up time The clown’s in my room smelling like doom The clown’s on t.v. Staring at me I need my black shoes The men in the van Are coming here soon The men in the van Are coming are here soon CH 2: Pink as you are We know you’re a star We see your pink hair In the back of your car But one of these days When we’re pinker than you Then pink will be two and the world will be through We’ll be comfortably dumb Dumb as a thumb And the world will be one The world will be one All Music and lyrics copyright 2017 by David Snyder David Snyder, Vocals, Electric Guitars, Electric Lead, Additional Instrumentation Pink.STY (User Defined) RealTracks in style: 908:Bass, Electric, SmoothBallad Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: ~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085 RealDrums in style: RockHardLA^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Loose HiHat

"A plutonium glare spreading out in my room"
I strongly expect that nothing resembling that line has been written within the known universe.
All my stress just got managed.
Cool!!!!!
Nice guitar too...

"Dumb as a thumb"...boy we're having some fun now. David...you crack me up, dude. I'm thinking this song may actually be the "real" David and what we usually see here from you is the aberration.  Buford

There's something a little scary about that one. Seriously I worry about you sometimes. I have to admit that the stream of consciousness lyrics that wander off into the absurdities of the human condition are a bit captivating. Nice guitar playing and production. At this point I don't think we can tame the wildness in your head. And I don't think we should even try. Very entertaining. Always interesting. Keep on keepin on. Tom

David...David...my friend...we are friends...we are here to help.
I think this is one of those 10 warning signs, like "You know you are an alcoholic if...", but for a mental deal...
This is great. Funny and well crafted and well played! It's art.
Just don't cut your ear off.

David,
When creativity comes your way, it's an explosion! These lyrics reminded me of plays that I've seen from the 'Theatre of the Absurd' genre.... creative, entertaining, mind-boggling.
After listening, I can sincerely say that my music horizons have been substantially broadened!
All the best,
Noel

David,
This is the musical equivalent of a modern art " installation"
... I scratch my head, laugh and hope the artist finds those black shoes before the van comes to take him away!
Thanks for being brave and keeping us all guessing...I`d certainly come back to hear what`s coming after the set break.
Robert

Hi David,
No lack of creativity here!Excellently absurd and too much fun!
You remind me of a friend of mine, Calvin Stewart, from Florida - when you click onto one of his songs, you know you aren't prepared for it and you have no idea what's coming - but you know it's gonna grab ya, so you just can't resist! And when it's finished you stare blankly across the room, in a trance you've never experienced before but say, "Damn, I'm glad I listened to that!"
Keep the creativity boiling over!

"A plutonium glare spreading out in my room"
Explains a lot.
"Now I’m taking my pills..."
The right one?
"A small drag of this
Will help me unwind"
Further explanation.
Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Everywhere!
"The men in the van
Are coming here soon"
Hide.
"The world will be one"
A hopeful romantic.
Fresh. Exuberant. Ex Uber Rant. Thought Provoking. Fun.

If the lyrics were posted anonymously, I could have ID'd them as David Snyder-no doubt!! Keep on shinin' on you crazy diamond. After such an accomplishment you should have a cigar, you're going to go far. That is really what I think. I wish you were here so I could congratulate you personally. Remember, it's Us and Them!!! This is extremely enjoyable David! Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

"I see the pink hair of the man on t.v.
I see your lips move
Are you speaking to me
Comfortably dumb like the good girls and boys
Just killing some time
While I’m losing my mind
The clown’s on t.v.
Staring at me
We’ll be comfortably dumb
Dumb as a thumb
And the world will be one
The world will be one"
David, what great lines!
How you can compose some great melodic music then come up with something like this is way beyond my comprehension!
Great song - great lyrics - and some super chops going on in the background!
All I can add is " And They're coming to take you away Ha Ha
They're coming to take you away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take you away ha ha
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

David, To put into words what I am feeling when I hear this song, I would have be at your level, and I'm sure I am not capable of reaching that level! I can't remember when I have laughed so much at a song. You are channeling Weird Al Yankovic doing Pink Floyd. Some really clever lines here. (If only they all went together.) Seriously, interesting stuff! Steve

Thanks Scott. I was just inspired by your own playing. Had to throw my hat into the ring and I needed a backdrop.

Thank Dave. Similar to what I told Scott, I have been listening to your own smokin' jams and I needed me some. This was just a silly excuse to play.
