about

You've discovered the underground sounds of the band "Roots Asylum". An underdog band creating "good times" music. This is the first "summer highway jam" of 2020. The song was written on the highway and is about how some of us engage carefree with "mother nature" and even our own "foolish" nature(s). The song has high energy lending itself to a feel-good ride. To fully understand it, you must get in your car and drive; destination unknown!

lyrics

My world's in a bag on a stick
The nurses they came in quick
One flame flickering on a wick
Angels and demons all fightin' for it
When they landed me
Back in her arms, they said
This is your unwell, special son...

I am her fool, I am her fool
Bending and breaking all of the rules
I am her fool

She's like a cat with a yarn
She teases to destroy me
At dusk as she's drifting asleep
I nuzzle into her bosom of glory

I am her fool, I am her fool
Bending and breaking all of the rules
Till payment comes due
I just got the news
That I am the lunatic on the loose
Everything to win and nothing to lose
I am her fool

On a whimsey, dancing along
Strumming the strings and
Writing the words to her song

My world's in a bag on a stick
I'm stepping off that cliff
With dreams on a wing and wish
One leap of faith and then shooting like a star

I am her fool, I am her fool
Bending and breaking all of the rules
Till payment comes due
I just got the news
That I am the lunatic on the loose
If I seem confused
I'm on top of the world and over the moon
Everything to win and nothing to lose
I am her fool
