lyrics

Do you see that brick on the shelf
Leave it alone, don't touch it
That brick is full of stories, smoke and booze
It's from the manor when it fell
If it figures out it's missing
Something might try to wriggle loose

In the village by the sea
You won't see it till you live here
And by then it will see you first
In the village by the sea
We're all a little mad here
But we promise you the sane ones are the worst

Try the tiny beach at sunset
That's next to the old factory
It's always done me right when I've gone wrong
It's a tiny piece of nowhere
In the center of the city
If someone's lost they'll get there before long

In the village by the sea
We're missing a few pieces
But others get thrown in along the way
In the village by the sea
You don't find what you're looking for
But something else will find you at the bay

Don't chip the paint off the rock outside the city
You don't want to know what's underneath
The girls on the streets downtown look very pretty
But don't look too closely at the teeth

If you still want to move here
don't say I didn't warn you
Once you're here you're in this town to stay
The rain gets into your blood
The trees will grab and hold you
And you'll find that you like living here this way

In the village by the sea
You won't see it till you live here
And by then it will see you first
In the village by the sea
We're all a little mad here
But we promise you the sane ones are the worst
But we promise you the sane ones are the worst

(Words & Music: Susan Weiner)

Cheshire Moon Ames, Iowa

Cheshire Moon is a fanciful melding of trickster bird Lizzie Crowe and mad hatter Eric Coleman.

These two-time Pegasus Award recipients are part of the growing music genre known as MythPunk, bringing old gods and folk tales into modern day, and bringing faerie tale princesses into the light of dark magic.

They weave journeys of song and story, bringing their listeners along for the ride. ... more
