HIT ME LIKE A SMILE (Brooks, Scott)

WELL I CAN’T GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU THROW YOUR BED BUT THE GREYHOUND BUS IS LEAVING YOUR LUCKY CARD IS THE QUEEN OF CUPS ALL PATRON SAINTS NOW FILL IT UP BUT YOU’RE SHUFFLING WHILE THE WORLD IS DEALING EVERY RING YOU OWN IS ON YOUR HAND AND EVERY WISH YOU WANT IS ON LOAN FROM THE MAN CAN WE GET THERE IF WE TRY A LITTLE HARDER AND THEN IT HIT ME I’M ALONE AND I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY IT HIT ME LIKE A SMILE IT HIT ME LIKE A SMILE I’M A MIRACLE AWAY FROM WHO I THOUGHT I COULD BE
SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE WHEN THE WORLDS UNDRESSED A SOLAR BURST OF MAGNETIC DISTRESS SPECTACULAR PERCEPTIONS OF POINTLESSNESS CAN RIP YOU OFF AND KILL ALL THE BESTOF EVERYTHING THAT MAKES YOU LOVELY
AND THEN IT HIT ME I’M A FOOL AND I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY IT HIT ME LIKE A SMILE IT HIT ME LIKE A SMILE
I’M A SOFT KISS AWAY FROM WHO I THOUGHT I COULD BE IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT ALL ADD UP LIKE DROPLETS IN YOUR MEMORIES CUP AND THE WORDS OF THOSE WHO NO LONGER LIVE WILL SING TO YOU IN THE MEMORIES THAT YOU GIVE THAT YOU GIVE THAT YOU GIVE CAUSE THE MORE YOU KNOW THE LESS YOU WANNA SEE AND THE MORE YOU FIND
THE LESS YOU WANNA BELIEVE AND THE PAY OFF MIGHT NEVER BE RECEIVED BUT YOU KNOW I’M GONNA PAY FOR IT ANYWAY YEAH YOU KNOW I ALWAYS PAY FOR IT ANYWAY AND THEN IT HIT ME THEN IT HIT ME THEN IT HIT ME

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
