lyrics

The Problem - © 2013, Scott Hrabko

They tell me
That your number’s disconnected
Those sweet, recorded
Voices on the phone
Calling from approximately nowhere
I hate to think you’re sitting there, alone

But if you get bored, well,
You know where to find me
When the walls are closing in
At closing time
It’s such a shame
To come up empty-handed
Sweet dreams going down
In the bubbling brine

Some days are roses,
Some days are fertilizer
You spin and toil and pray for rain
Wallflower, take my hand now,
Let’s get loaded
I’ve got no expectations
To stand in the way

From the warm embrace
Of alcohol amnesia
To the tables where you
Take your crooked cue
The ashtray full of friends
That never leave you
They’re looking for the real thing,
Once removed

Another revolution -- of the ceiling
Stains and angels circling the bed
Sugar plums and broken capillaries
Eleven drunken drummers in my head

Oh, Lord, deliver me
From wishful thinking
And other cheap commodities
If I fall into the cup
That I’ve been drinking
Well, I’ll know the problem
Is probably me.

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
