From the recording With The Stars In Your Eyes
I wrote the lyrics in my parent's backyard in 2015 while I was waiting for them to lock up the house and come outside. A week later, I recorded the guitar at Constantine's house. I don't know why, but I put it away and didn't touch it for two years. I picked it up again at the end of 2017 and within a few days I had this song. It's real surf rock stuff, with punky lyrics about a serial criminal...Unlike my song about surfing which is a punk song. Strange, huh?

Seven

I've taken seven (seven, seven seven) pony rides
In seven (seven, seven) prisons nationwide
For seven (seven, seven seven) seven crimes
With seven (seven, seven, seven) jagged knives
Stole seven (seven, seven seven) seven dimes
For my seven (seven, seven seven) seven ex-wives
There were seven (seven, seven seven) seven spies
Who ratted seven (seven, seven seven) seven times
Whenever I'm feeling down and blue
I've got seven portraits of you
Got seven (seven, seven seven) courtroom trials
And I made seven (seven, seven seven) hot denials
I told them seven (seven, seven seven) seven lies
They gave me seven (seven, seven seven) seven lifetimes
Whenever I'm feeling down and blue
I've got seven portraits of you
It's been seven (seven, seven seven) years on the slide
I had seven (seven, seven) visions in my mind
I wrote seven (seven, seven seven) beautiful rhymes
And they were (seven, seven seven) seven blank lines
Whenever I'm feeling down and blue
I've got seven portraits of you
