    One of just 1000 physical CDs pressed of my first album, She Makes Noise. Replete with references to social music websites that no longer exist! Once they're gone, I'm not pressing anymore, and this is pretty much the only collectable item that exists as far as my first album goes, so this is your chance to grab one before I'm famous (I joke...). Let me know if you'd like me to sign it for you.

lyrics

He was the news on the deuce
Kept his persuasions kinda loose
Got his mindset from MTV and satellite stream
He had the bandwidth of a pilot
Want religion?
He could buy it
From the brothers on the down low selling dreams
He kept his attitude on his sleeve
But spoke real nice so you’d believe
He was incapable of leaving with the next rain
Her point of view was not for staying
Now he’s on his knees and praying
But she ain’t got no answers for his pain

Chorus:
How did she leave, how did she slip out with the cat?
Where did she go
He’d like to know
Hey gaucho
Better get yourself an M.O.
'Cause your baby split for Rio
Said the Cuban’s got some San Juan samba moves
You say this jive is unacceptable
Her intentions ain’t respectable
But it’s hard to get the street out of her groove

She was a lady, swing time shady
With a bill collectors stare
Got suspicions, smoked Havanas
Spanish combs, flamingoed hair
Then she came to him ‘round midnight
With this easy “I don’t care”
He said “why don’t we trip the moonlight?”
But the boy was unprepared

Chorus

Why do you care, so what’s your point?
This cosmic lady runs your engines
Lines your pockets, smokes your joints
And second guesses your conventions
Like she’s used to lying so she figures you won’t care
Night comes your way without conviction
She’s got a wicked midnight air
The dude don’t like this competition
But the girl just drops him unaware
With her nine millimeter banter
Then she blows into thin air

Chorus

He was the news on the deuce
Kept his persuasions kinda loose
Got his mindset from MTV and satellite stream…
