about

Serene 2020 HIndsight:

"Scorpios always get a bad rep from astrologers and this would be a protest song if it wasn't so chipper sounding. So I was trying to assert myself against bad forecasters, and this was written when I lived in The Bronx. We borrowed a banjo from Terry Garvin of the Zen Lunatics because we thought it sounded like a sitar. I like the way the Semi-Detached barges into what starts out kind new-agey song."

Song this most closely rips off:
The ooh la las at the end were kinda like 'She's a Rainbow in the make a wish department."'

lyrics

Solar System
written by Serene Dominic

Mercury girls will be suffering sharp disappointments of the heart
With Jupiter and Mars shut out of the houses of marriage, contrition and love

But you can step out of your solar system if you need another opinion
About faith and ambition, romance and religion and us

The Stars do Stars don't advise no sudden deals
Scorpio is snapping at your heels
They say you can't love you he could only sting
but I'm here to tell you that they don't mean a thing

Cuz you could step out of your solar system if you need another opinion
About faith and ambition, romance and religion and us

Why let a poison moon rule the tides of your heart?
My darling Capricorn, I can't help which month I was born!

Still my unfortunate sign ain't gonna wait for Neptune to align
Let me in your house and we'll make love
Regardless of what heavenly bodies approve
I want to show you that there really isn't anything to the solar system
It's me and you and the moon orbiting the Sun
I want to show you that there really isn't anything to this solar system
Ooh lalala Ooh lalala Ooh lalala Ooh lalala ooh!
