about

Inspired by the Sorcerer's Shop on Santa Monica Blvd., who had a live owl as a mascot when you walked in the door. Hollywood in the '80s....

lyrics

LOVE DUST

The wise old owl knows why
I’ve come into his shop at the end of my street
He knows I’m here to buy
And there’s no need to be discreet.
He looks into my eyes
As I give a description
Of what I can’t make mine
And he fills the prescription

Love dust
He gives me love dust
To work the miracle

On my way back home
To mix up the brew
Gotta follow the directions
So I’ll know what to do
Fingernail clippings
I stole a lock of your hair
Mix it up, burn it up
The smoke clouds the air

Love dust
I got the love dust
It works a miracle

Nighttime comes
You’re the one
I don’t need to beg or ask
Since the dust has done it’s task
Tell me how
You feel right now
Tell me that your love ain’t real
Tell me how you really feel

Things go just as planned
You’re in my arms, telling me the lies
That have been programmed
For you to say all of the night.
Sunlight starts to glow
As your light begins to fade
And so you must go
As the sun brings the day
Love dust
I need more love dust
I need a miracle
