about

...meanwhile in the Okanagan Valley....

lyrics

The sun is sinking in the Okanagan Valley, headlight rivers wind their way through the hills. Morgan drives her Rubicon and puts the campus station on then pops another pair of coloured pills. Her shopping bags fall to the floor, spill pretty things from boutique stores (sweet dreams are made of this). She grabs the wheel and starts to feel it's pointless and there's nothing real there's something that she's missed. Her friends all think it's easy but the truth is so damn sleazy, man, you can't get harder than this.

Where do we go from here?

A million reasons why the season brings its sadness on the breezes, falling rain will cry for us all. When Morgan puts a new dress on she sheds a tear that falls upon the marble floor that leads to the hall. Her footsteps echo sadly as she walks and she would gladly skip the social scenester's trip for something tame, a little lame, less conscious with a solid aim for shooting from the hip. But bleeding hearts are prone to gushing red wine geysers now she's lushing - tilt the crystal and sip.

Where do we go from here?

She says "Kelowna's got it's box stores baby, restaurants too, the malls and maybe that's enough for you. But I've been going damn near crazy, spending money, being lazy - not much else to do." Her thoughts are contradictin' said she's moving to Penticton (tiny condo living down on the beach). 'Cause all she wants are wholesome thoughts, for once to let old habits rot in some small town out of reach from gossip talkin', fashion walkin', two-faced friends forever stalkin' high life values they preach.

How do I make it clear? Can I get out of here? Where do we go?
