Today is Friday, the 17th of January 2020.
A year of uncertainty and deep, dark elevator shafts.
'Lifts', the llama shouts, 'I prefer to call them lifts instead of elevators.'
'Shut up!' I shout back from the kitchen. 'And close the elevator doors! You are sending up cold drafts from the basement!'
"Planet Of Bromford"
Standin' on the corner
Of Toulouse and Dauphine
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
I'm tryin' to place a tune
Under a Louisiana moonbeam
On the planet of Bromford
In a bar they call The Saturn
And in her eyes of green
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
And a true love figurine
For the planet of Bromford
Bromford - the other planet
With other life upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of Bromford
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
Through the rain and the steam
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
And then I heard her say
Somethin' in the limousine
'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of Bromford
If she was an ace
And I was just a jack
And the cards were never seen
We could have been the king and queen
But she took me on back to her courtyard
Where magnolia perfume screams
Behind the gates and the granite
Of the planet of Bromford
Bromford - the other planet
With other life upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of Bromford
With other life upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of Bromford
The planet of Bromford
