New Material from Headspace by Stratospheerius

New Material: This is a vocal rocker that was written a few years back. My wife and I had just bought a house in suburban NJ. My wife had just gotten a new job and our situation was good all around. I had just finished the Adventures of Stratopheerius CD, and was dealing with a horrible case of writer’s block. At that time, VH1 was constantly running the “Behind the Music” series, and a thought crossed my mind that I had never OD’ed on heroin, killed anyone, gone bankrupt, been to prison, etc. etc. etc. Everything was pretty hunky dory. I figured I couldn’t write anything worthwhile that had a positive message. If I stood a chance in this business, I had to manufacture some misery quick, so I wrote a song about being pissed off about not being able to write a song.

Lyrics

New Material
(Joe Deninzon)

Every day is like an hourglass
Dove into you and swam a lap
I live an inch above the map
It's front-page news when I take a crap

I need a train running over me tied up to the tracks
I need a chained up psyche with a monkey on my back
I need a death threat deadline panic attack
I need a big bolt of lightning to strike me in the ass

Where's my material
I need new material

Reality check bounced last week
I hit the road like a psycho freak
Kerouac in wonderland
Reaching out for a helping hand

I need a smooth operator to screw me out of cash
I need a rare new virus with a constellation rash
I need a wall onto which my head I can bash
And lash out at the world in a car I can crash

Where's my material
I need new material
