lyrics

I flew in from Colorado
I’ve been incommunicado for a while
If the last 12 months have taught you anything
It’s that talkin’s not my style
But I want to send a quick top of the mornin’
From the bottom of the Bay
Where pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
‘Round the city of San Jose

I spent so many years pickin’ fights
And drinkin’ wisdom from the fountain
Imagine my surprise- the ocean didn’t care
And neither did the mountains
So I shut my mouth and shut my eyes
Stepped back and let the wasteland have its say
While pelicans and planes flew lazy circles
‘Round the city of San Jose

You can beat your head against the wall
Waiting for epiphanies and brainstorms
You can stand outside and drown yourself
In the rage and retribution of a rainstorm
Me, I’m gonna go and see my friends
We’ll sit and wish the day away
Watchin’ pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
‘Round the city of San Jose
Watch those pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
‘Round the city of San Jose

One of those singer/songwriter types your mama warned you about, Tod Weidner has embarked upon a long awaited solo career after decades as a fixture on the Ohio music scene. Tod founded and led Dayton mainstays Shrug and was a member of Motel Beds and many other notable groups, to boot. He serves up songs with the ragged, passionate musical heart of a rocker and the wordsmithery of a Beat poet. ... more
