Recorded November-December 2020, at home, in the basement.
lyrics
A man should keep a well-stocked home for guests and times of want,
but should he find himself alone, he can go crazy on
his beer, his wine, his grass, his smokes, his pills to help him rest;
what might be a real cool shindig were there a single guest.
I've got twenty ways to see stars:
I could walk down to all the local bars.
I could tour my way down Cold Drink Avenue.
I could drink, and drink, and drink,
Or just mix together what's 'neath the sink.
I've got twenty ways to see stars, but no way to see you
Long time back, I was a simple man; it's true, my pal:
I didn't need no substances, I had my lucky gal.
She made my heart jump up and down, until she let me go;
she don't love me, this I know, for the bottle tells me so.
I've got twenty ways to see stars:
I could stumble my way out 'tween parked cars.
I could fall on my ass and look up t'ward the moon.
I could smoke a field of grass,
or even just try standing up too fast.
I've got twenty ways to see stars, but no way to see you.
