You lead the way
Out of Bushwick to Astoria
As your roommate moves off the grid with his dog
To restart life in Vermont
Clear skies and I wonder what keeps us all here
In this city - that beleaguered fear
Asking for good graces
Waiting to hear your taunts
CHORUS
Though I may be ready for the fall, part two
I should roll w/the punches recalibrate my hunches
Try hard not to steamroller you (and to realize)
At 31 what's still left to be undone
But the taunts don't come at all
Canadian through and through
Rolling furniture into your U-Haul
Just to get closer to you
CHORUS
Something about the gap of 5 years back
From your 26 revolutions to claim your place in
This city's architecture - gargoyles in shades of grey
Can we find ourselves in each other's face
Can we find ourselves in each other's face
CHORUS
I may have been ready for the fall, part two
I rolled w/the punches recalibrated my hunches
Tried hard not to steamroller thru (but at 32)
I'm still waiting for you

2. PASSOVER
That was the last exit in Brooklyn
Oh no here we are in Staten Island
Your road rage is to be reckoned with
I don’t understand British GPS
Turn right there, turn right here
You're such a stupid putz my dear
Last year we ended up in Bayonne
Not so jersey fresh
Why didn't we take the train
We need a getaway plan
For when your family gets all cray-cray
And insane
CHORUS
Telling us all we're going to hell
No amount of Manischewitz can dispel
My holiday cheer I fear
Another Passover with the in-laws
Remember Uncle Morty
Throwing the shank bone at me
He said my gay agenda
Would get me dismembered
Aunt Ethel said I wasn't Jewish enough
My Buddism bullhockey in the rough
When I asked her to pass the charoset
She just growled at me
Couldn't we make other plans
A trip to the moon - a tour of Afghanistan
When your family says
We're not American enough
CHORUS
We made a wrong turn
Why are we in New London
Well nothing’s better than
Suburban Connecticut
We can say Elijah came
Early this year
Though I fear the wrath
Of the in-laws
CHORUS

Oh, Sacramento - give me something tangible
Give me something real
Here's another lonely Saturday night
YouTube feeds, computer screens, Japanese satellites
CHORUS
Oh, Sacramento - give me something I can keep
Show me something real
Oh, Sacramento - leave me something I can hold
Give me something to feel
Memories reverberate through this empty room
Cardboard boxed photographs, relics of our past
CHORUS
Give me something I can keep
Show me something real
As we volley words back and forth
This love plays out in syndication
We’re shadow boxing back and forth
We play on and on in syndication
On and on in syndication
CHORUS

Danny Katz: '80s Flavored Folk-Pop - Were The Indigo Girls and Erasure to engage in an alcohol-infused rendez-vous, they both would have Danny Katz to remember the evening by. Skillfully able to rock the guitar, piano, and shamisen, Katz' original material ranges from sensitive musings on love lost to dance tributes to finding romance on Craigslist. ... more

Cynthia's latest work, "Microscope" is beautifully soothing and excellently done. Intelligent lyrics, clean arrangements and that voice! Divine.
