lyrics

Gonna go get a haircut
Waste part of my day,
Gonna look a lot better
Or so people say,
But I've got this suspicion
It don't work that way,
Gonna go get a haircut
Waste part of my day

Gonna go buy a new shirt
Waste money I've made,
They say I'll look better
If I wear the right shade,
But I've got this suspicion
The colors will fade,
Going go buy a new shirt
Waste money I've made

(Chorus)
I need some living water,
Looking for living water,
Listening for water flowing, flowing sweet and cold
I need some living water,
I’m thirsty for living water,
I just want some living water
(drip drop, splish splash, flow)
To satisfy my soul / A life that’s never old

Gonna go do some jogging
Gonna get real tired
They say that when you can't breathe
Then you get inspired
But I've got this suspicion
That's not how I'm wired,
Gonna go do some jogging
Gonna get real tired.

about

Blomberg & Nelson Chicago, Illinois

Blomberg & Nelson grew up listening to Latin American folk music and 1960s-70s American pop and jazz. Blomberg plays trumpet, harmonica, and piano, and Nelson is a multi-instrumentalist. Their songs combine upbeat tunes with wry, thoughtful lyrics about the human condition. A bit Randy Newman, a smidgen Steely Dan, a touch Beach Boys, and a dose of country blues.
