lyrics

I have a lite brite, It’s in my apartment
I got it for my 24th birthday because I always wanted one
I always always wanted one
And now that I have one it seems kind of lame
Even for a child’s game
The pegs get everywhere, the patterns are of paper
You must puncture the paper and you can’t reuse the paper
It doesn’t have the magic I thought it would

So I’m hoping you are much like my lite brite
A big disappointment then I won’t have to waste my time
Thinking thoughts of you

Or maybe you’re like cable I never had that either
No I never had that either ‘til I moved out on my own
Better than expected, I think I am addicted
To Keith and Rachel on MSNBC
Stacey tells me what not to wear on TLC
And in addition without my permission
Don’t tell a soul I watch The Hills on MTV
(hate spencer love LC)

So maybe you’re like cable
Better than expected and I would be addicted to
Changing all your channels
And I like you best when you’re on demand

Or maybe you’re like Nintendo
This is my last scenario
I never had that either you can see I was quite deprived as a child
I’d go over my friend’s house I’d play it at my friend’s house
But I would always get out I’d always lose my lives
Too many buttons, too much going on I’d lose my head
Then I’d give someone else a try

So maybe you’re like Nintendo
Really really awesome and every so often
I could come and play your game
But in the end we’d we, we both we both we both would see
You’re much too complex for a simple girl like me

Like the lite brite I hope you will be

Debbie Miller Seattle, Washington

Seattle songwriter Debbie Miller is like a tantalizing book of short stories. There are few musicians who work as diligently as she to be as narratively engaging. Her lyrics, like tightrope walkers, rollick on the taught wire of song, guiltlessly and pointedly inspiring listeners who crave more of their spectacle. Miller has played prominent Northwest festivals like Timbrrr! and Upstream. ... more
