lyrics

Ordinary Guy
© 2015, Scott Hrabko (ASCAP)

Midnight creepin' Puerto Rican
Second story moan
Neon halos of moths and mosquitos
And I can't find my way home

A broken windshield in the moonlight
A high and lonesome alarm
A girl in curlers with a bread knife
Come on and be my good luck charm

It's down to coffee spody-ody
Biscuits and gravity
Pickled ambition and liquored up fiction
And time lapse pornography

Oh, the birds are irritating
At this hour of the day
And the garbage men are taking
My weekend away

Rivers run dry when I walk by
Birds fly away and babies cry
Cookies crumble and milk expires
I can't begin to tell you why
I'm just an ordinary guy

Backwater flotsam, long gone, forgotten
Looking for an ear to bend
You'll rue the day you ever got me to talking
'Cause the monologue will never end

Smoking your last one down to the cotton
And laughing through the rattling phlegm
Your horse is high, but you can't get off
It's a long way down, my friend

Rivers run dry when I walk by
Birds fly away and babies cry
Good times, they just pass me by
I can't begin to tell you why
I'm just an ordinary guy

Scott Hrabko image

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
