Something's Risin'
Lyrics:
Sitting in class looking at the teacher.
Looking at things and seeing some features.
But what the hell is going on?
The teacher has no bra on.
She asked me what is on my mind
but I can't tell her it's her behind.
She bends over to get my book
but all I wanted was a better look.
Something's Risin', Something's Risin', Something's Risin'.
Sitting at home just watching Baywatch.
All of the sudden I see a girl's crotch.
Thinking to myself this is regular TV,
I know that there ain't no nudity.
A boy starts drowning and here comes a lifeguard.
Oh my God, would you look at those bods.
Bodies dripping, with their tight suits on.
Their skin is rigid, with their headlights on.
Something's Risin', Something's Risin', Something's Risin'.
Sitting at home just watching a movie.
Oh shucks, do my eyes deceive me?
Sexy looking girl coming toward my home.
She's looking real horny and ready to bone.
Saying to myself, "this girl's a real whore".
Licking my stomach and going down for more.
Getting real hot but I'm not done yet.
I woke up that second with the sheets all wet now.
Something's Risin', Something's Risin', Something's Risin'.
Commentary:
This song and "Over and Over" were essentially the first two songs I ever wrote aside from my aforementioned epic opus, "We're Not the Kids of Yesterday" (See Part 1 - So It Begins for the larger story.) I recall Mike and I sitting in my parents basement with a Karaoke machine that also recorded. I played the guitar and gave Mike the lyrics and he started riffing out melodies.
As one could see from the lyrics, we were beyond mature for our age and light years ahead of our time, once again, in bizarro world.
We were teenagers. We were horny. We had raging hormones and we had raging, well, the result of all the things I just mentioned. With a hook like, "Something's Rising," it isn't tough to figure out what we were talking about.
I believe that Mike still may that original cassette. If so, at some point I will try to upload that original night of magic.
