about

I read a story about a man who won $5000 a week, and then completely lost all ability to communicate with people in a normal fashion. Everything in his life became weird and double sided.

lyrics

$5000 a week
In a check from the USA
To scratch the right ticket
Now I should be okay

People seem proud in town
Getting real friendly now
I can buy whatever I want
Friends lining up the block

If you want the world
Well hey you've got it
I put down five bucks on good luck
The government brought it
$5000 a week
Now my rent is paid
Didn't have friends before
Still don't and I still can't get laid

$5000 a week
I could buy whatever I need
Keep on my own more than ever
Some people run on their greed

People seem happy in town
But I don't trust people now
I just wanted to watch tv
With a wife or a family

If you want the world
Well hey you've got it
I put down five bucks on good luck
The government brought it
$5000 a week
Now my rent is paid
Didn't have friends before
Still don't and I still can't get laid

about

Roxy Green

Roxy Green is a recording artist who has lived in a couple different cities in America.

She makes spacey-dreamy indie-pop music, and writes songs from the perspectives of others. You know. Like. Leonard Cohen? Sorta. Story-songs. That sorta thing. The Leonard Cohen comparison is a little grandiose, but if the shoe fits, which it does, but 1/2 a size up might be better.

She lives in Los Angeles.
