about

--from the Walter Ehresman album "Split Brain Theory" ('91).

Ehresman recalls: "This old song was one of those written in a feeling of despair during my time in law school.....Very much not enjoying the young Republicans and corrupt, dissipated sons of privilege I was finding myself in class with."

lyrics

Those Rare Moments of Confidence
(© 1990 Walter Ehresman)

I got a feeling,
found it just inside of my heart;
Just a feeling--
don’t know if I can cut it any more.

[chorus]
I see the writing on the wall,
I see the writing there for me,
for me.

I got a feeling,
every time I recheck the score;
Just a feeling--
where I was rich I now am poor.

[chorus]

[break]
Get a’hold of everything--can’t believe I was listening to ya;
Alarm bells rings--damn near fell into it;
The joker, he moves fast--slips through a hole in the wire;
With a backwards glance--gonna light your funeral pyre;
Gotta make the music--sing about recesses of desire.

We need a Renaissance today;
Feed the art or the body will die;
I think the head is gone anyway, but
I’ve got mine.
