I Fell In Love With The World Today One cold November day in the city by the bay I walk to heal a heart that’s broken Sent up a little prayer from the city hall stairs And then my world split open I pull back the peel, 'til I reveal A blood orange with the beating veins I reach in my finger, touch the red quiver And forever my finger was stained I fell in love with the world today I fell in love with the world today I feel my heartbeat slip away It’s too strong, I just can't take it, no The city's singing to me Steel notes blooming Sirens on their desperate errands Broken glass arrangement Sparkle on the pavement Below the fog horn A flat Picked up my guitar, write what I saw But their voices had slipped down the drain Now deep in my slumber, the rhythm rolls onward And the melody haunts me again and again and again I fell in love with the world today Fell in love with the world today I feel my heartbeat slip away It’s too strong, I just can't take it, I fell in love with the world today Fell in love with the world today I feel my heartbeat slip away It’s too strong, I just can't take it, When you can't hold on, when you can't hold on When you can't hold on, when you can't hold on, When you can't hold on I fell in love with the world today Fell in love with the world today I feel my heartbeat slip away It’s too strong, I just can't take it, I fell in love with the world, it’s true With the beauty and the wretchedness too I feel the pulse jump, stall and fade I fell in love with the world today I fell in love with the world today I fell in love with the world today I fell in love with the world today It’s too strong

This Is All I’ll ever be I think I lost my tongue Can you lend me one Or mouth the words I need to keep you Happy, my lips are laughing Hooked on my mask, and do that Dance for your distraction Now if you don’t believe me Look it up, we started off crazy Now if you won’t forgive me Then leave me, then leave me Can’t escape my chemistry, Can’t unwrite my history This is all I’ll ever be This is all I’ll ever be Read me your scarlet letter Your quips are clever They safety pin my lips together Better go make my own way, Before they stone me Crack the glass that keeps your faith in me Now if you don’t believe me Look it up, we started off crazy Now if you won’t forgive me Then leave me, then leave me Can’t escape my chemistry, Can’t unwrite my history This is all I’ll ever be This is all I’ll ever be Now if you don’t believe me Look it up, we started off crazy Now if you won’t forgive me Then leave me, then leave me Some people don’t want saving Can’t escape my chemistry, Can’t unwrite my history This is all I’ll ever be This is all I’ll ever be This is all I’ll ever be

Wrecking Ball Everybody loves a sad sad story Shine it up, make it sparkle for me Controlled by your chemicals They keep you runnin around, oh Self delusion is a cold cold mistress She put a torch to your white feather dress I know it's my vertigo that keeps me hangin around, hangin around Somebody out there's after you Somebody out there knows You can't hide from the consequences oh Ooo, lookin for ya, Oooo, loose it all Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball Prowlin town for a heart worth stealing While I'm eloping with this lonely feeling Up, down, that's the merry-go-round That keeps on passing me by, oh, Everybody loves a deepest secret Locked away until the loose lips leak it I dream of being the wrecking ball That puts a break in your stride, break in your stride Somebody out there's onto you Somebody out there cares They won't stop til they're face to face with you Ooo, lookin for ya, Oooo, loose it all Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball Ooo, running through you Oooo, watch ya fall Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball There must be some reason, Yes some kind of reason I wait for the hammer to come down, Come down All these times think you'd learn your lessons Instead of mastering the best regressions Retired, you're the perfect child And I'm done playing your games, playing your games Somebody out there's onto you Somebody out there knows They won't stop til they're face to face again Ooo, lookin for ya, Oooo, loose it all Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball Ooo, running through you Oooo, watch ya fall Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball I'm your wrecking ball, I'm your wrecking ball I'm your wrecking ball, your wrecking ball Ooo, lookin for ya, Oooo, loose it all Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball Ooo, running through you Oooo, watch ya fall Oooo, you can't fight it I'm your wrecking ball

Rabbit Hole 02:30
Rabbit Hole Ooo tonight's the hundredth time I'm returning to the scene of the crime Sky darkens in the forest cage stark face I, I must be brave nights owls put a chill in my bones, the light's gone from the road I'm waiting by the rabbit hole Best way to catch a rabbit I know Oo feels like 5am I let my finger off the trigger again throw my lantern down the rabbit hole I'll find you, someday you know wild dogs howling at the moon new day is arriving soon oo I think i lost your trail jump in, "I might as well" it's a long way down it's a long way down it's a long way down and my landing was loud And I musta looked so confused You caught me as I was catching you Thank god you were by yourself maybe there's some hope left yet maybe there's some hope left yet maybe there's some hope left yet

Falalalala Love you I could give you some line That you’ve heard a thousand times “Hey baby, what’s your sign?” Or I could give you my word, But watch the news for a minute or two, And you’ll know what that’s worth Looked day and night How to describe A love so strong Words don’t belong I falalalala love you, do you Falalalala love me, I do Someday under the almond tree I'm gonna use your kiss to rectify me, Oh come on and try me Don’t make me say it again First times the charm, And my heart’s in the palm of your hand Oo I stutter and my blood is frozen, Can’t speak or show emotion When you meet my eye, oh how I, I , I can’t talk I, I I looked day and night How to describe A gaze like that Stopped me in my tracks I falalalala love you, do you Falalalala love me, I do Someday under the almond tree I'm gonna use your kiss to rectify me, oh no I looked day and night How to describe A gaze like that Stopped me in my tracks I falalalala love you, do you Falalalala love me, I do Someday under the almond tree Your gonna put your kiss on me, kiss on me Put your kiss on me, kiss on me oh You see

Summer’s Coming Sit in a garden on top of a hill, The world is spinning but we’re sitting still The day’s getting longer and hotter but we Stay in the shadows of flowers and trees Summer's coming, don’t you want someone To share these lonely nights or something The wind's blowing trails through the golden grass hills The world is spinning but our story’s just beginning We got sunlight through the bedroom window Got green grass wherever we go And I love you truely darling don't you know that I'm crying, I’m crying Summer's coming, don’t you want someone To share these lonely nights or, or something Well he's coming (darlin don’t you want somebody) Summer’s coming (darlin don’t you want somebody)

Anapoeia 02:54
Anapoeia Oh no, anapoeia, his hands are red and he's coming for me
Oh keep your eyes on my radar, we spin in time and it's a beautiful thing,
 You can hear them ring Love, you are the only one
 Mister, there is no other one
 So don't leave me the lonely one
 Night after night
, who's gonna keep him out? Oh no, anapoeia, his hands are red and he's coming for me
Oh put your eyes on my radar, we spin in time and it's a beautiful thing, thing
 You can hear them ring Ring, ring, ring Ring, ring, ring... Don't leave me the lonely one, night after night
 No, no don't leave me the lonely one, 
 Leave me the lonely one, night after night
 Who's gonna keep him out? Oh no, anapoeia, his hands are red and he's coming for me

about

"Wait By The Rabbit Hole" is the second album by 22-year-old San Francisco multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer Girl Named T; a lushly-orchestrated, pint-sized indie/rock record equally inspired by the off-kilter songwriting of Pixies, the Motown groove and by The Beach Boys' concept of the "pocket symphony".

Featuring: Erma Kyriakos (ERMA) on violin on cello, Elliott Peltzman (The Stone Foxes) on Hammond Organ and long-time members of the Girl Named T live band: Ben Burney and Colin Hayes on drums and lead guitar respectively, and of course Girl Named T on drums, bass, guitar, keys, and vocals.

CD RELEASE PARTY is FRIDAY AUGUST 3rd @ THE COMPLEX-SF (thecomplex-sf.com)
