Seattle's Best II: Subliminal Girls

from Emerald City Love Song by Sweet Diss and the Comebacks

lyrics

I woke up and pulled myself out of a dream
It was great but then I felt like I could scream
I'd been happy for the first time in a year
Why's it always gotta be the good luck that disappears?

Took my buddy Jim aside and laid it out
And he told me what he thought it was about
Maybe she doesn't exist but in a dream
He continued, but I just might have an odd little scheme

You know what she looks like
You know what she wears
Chances are, somewhere in the city she is there
The city she is there

Beep beep beep be prepared

Scouted out a route about where I'd been out
It seemed hopeless but my buddy was devout
All you gotta do is see her little face
Like you did when you were smitten in the very first place

Subliminal messages from subliminal girls
So blame it on messages from subliminal worlds
I'm so high with low expectations

Jimmy boy I tell ya I can't see a thing
I don't think these girls are ever gonna ring any
Any bells inside my lovesick little brain
Let's stop here and get a coffee 'cause it's starting to rain

And there in the coffee shop is this sweet little girl
Who's makin' a mocha with some whipped cream in a swirl
It's the girl who's haunted me for some days now
