+    <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i>
+    <i>A very cozy effort (as the title implies). A combination of classic rock sounds of the 70's and some modern electronic tricks to create the mix-tape you always wanted to hear.</i>
+    After spending part of the year doing a lot of different kinds music for commissions, I honed in and got personal on Comfortable Bugs. Flavors of Steely Dan, The Beach Boys, Roxy Music. I wanted the sounds time forgot.
+    This an album for you and the stereo. Get comfortable.

+    This train will make you feel pain, will make you feel pain
+    Tick tock trains - running on the fumes now
+    Turn it on, and how
+    Got to get high get down get lost come round
+
+    This yarn will make you burn barns, will make you burn barns
+    Big black barns - quite iconoclastic
+    How long will you last
+    If you should trip the light fantastic
+
+    And I'm not such an innocent kind of guy
+    'Cause it all comes down to do or die
+    So I won't pretend that I never get high
+
+    69423
+    Don't you blow your smoke on me
+
+    This knot will get you caught, will get you caught
+    Get your soul bought - keep it on the outside
+    Take it on your stride
+    'Cause you can't fall can't look can't run can't hide
+
+    This brick will get you sick, will get you sick
+    Just a big brick waiting in the windows
+    Every good friend knows
+    That once they're open they won't get closed
+
+    And I'm not such an innocent kind of guy
+    'Cause it all comes down to do or die
+    So I won't pretend that I never get high
+
+    69423
+    Don't you blow your smoke on me
+    I'm not crazy can't you see?
+    This is where I wanna be

+    69423
+    More than just your fantasy
+    Chain them up, don't set them free

+Lyrics: |-
+    Now that you have joined the cause
+    You act as though you're owed applause
+    Is this your fight or are these bragging rights?
+
+    Don't pretend you really care
+    All you've changed is what you wear,
+    What you say, and who you turn away
+
+    You think you're bad (so bad)
+    With the flag that you've been waving (so bad)
+    With the world you think you're saving (so bad)
+    Is it a fight that you are craving?
+    Maybe it's just food
+
+    Are you a bad enough dude
+    To carry a torch, to ignite a feud
+    To change the whole world when you change your mood
+    It's hard to conclude
+    Are you bad or just rude?
+
+    Can you honestly afford
+    To spend your life a sandwich board
+    Your thick skin is only t-shirt thin
+
+    Your enormous sense of pride
+    Is just another place to hide
+    Let it go - your life is not for show
+
+    You think you're bad (so bad)
+    With the people you've been taunting (so bad)
+    And the message that you're flaunting (so bad)
+    But is the change that you've been wanting
+    All just attitude?
+
+    Are you a bad enough dude
+    To carry a torch - to ignite a feud
+    To change the whole world when you change your mood
+    If I might intrude
+    I think you're just some prude
+
+    You think you're bad (so bad)
+    It could almost be inspiring (so bad)
+    But from you it's only tiring (so bad)
+    If it's attention you're desiring
+    Maybe you're just screwed
+
+    Are you a bad enough dude
+    To carry a torch, to ignite a feud
+    To change the whole world when you change your mood
+    It's hard to conclude
+    Are you bad or just rude?

+    Please forgive me - I was not privy
+    The words I needed I'd not heeded
+    Now I see that I've made a blunder
+    I'm looking for a rock I can crawl under
+
+    I've enforced such a needless course
+    To a mindless goal that consumed my soul
+    But now that I've been torn asunder
+    I'm looking for a rock I can crawl under
+
+    Don't ask why it took 'til now
+    Cast your stones, I'll take my bow
+    If you think you do no wrong
+    Then you've been under your rock too long
+
+    Judge me as you would judge yourselves
+    We have all get skeletons on our shelves
+    If we don't let them fossilize
+    Our pet rocks will rule our lives
+
+    Though it's an impediment
+    I won't turn to sediment
+    Before you bring your gavel down
+    Look at the gravel all around

+Lyrics: |-
+    All alone amongst the crowd a voice is in my head
+    "Is there something I'm supposed to do?"
+    Everybody laughing at the jokes I've never read
+    Am I still a member of the crew
+
+    Tuning to the rhythm of the music in the air
+    Sounding out the words inside my mind
+    The decoration fails to make me even care
+    What was I supposed to find?
+
+    I'm letting go
+    Of the chances I had but was always gonna blow
+    Of the beautiful people who never said hello
+    Of the life I'd have lived if I knew then what I know
+
+    Every night I sit and wait like something's gonna change
+    I'll remember how to really smile
+    The waves of time against my mind leave me deranged
+    Can I make this worth the while?
+
+    Your moves are fly but I'm a fly upon your wall
+    Look in my eyes and make me real
+    Teach me to dance when all the world's at the ball
+    Give me something I can really feel
+
+    I'm letting go
+    Of the chances I had but was always gonna blow
+    Of the beautiful people who never said hello
+    Of the life I'd have lived if I knew then what I know
+    Of the need to pretend that I'm living in a show
+    Of the notion that I'd stay the same and never grow
+    Of the great desperation to move against the flow
+    Of all the errors I knew at the moment they were made
+    Of the times that I left when I really should have stayed
+    Of the secret inside that I'm still afraid

+    Say it isn't so hard to hear the things I have to say
+    Say that I'm just a fool to think there's something in the way
+    I can always call you
+    I could never call you
+
+    Say I won't have to wait for some occasion to arise
+    Say the words I would say to you would come as no surprise
+    I can never tell you
+    I can only show you
+
+    One small chance - One thin line
+    No damn way I can conceive to say what's on my mind
+    I love you - Three small words
+    Just the dumbest thing I'm sure that you have ever heard
+    Each time I try to call it feels absurd
+
+    Say the truth deep inside your soul will only set you free
+    Say this kind of exposure makes you just as scared as me
+    I can hear my own voice
+    Rehearsing-all-lone-voice
+
+    Say if you saw me at my worst you would not turn away
+    Say there's more to look forward to than wondering what to say
+    Something I believe in
+    I'd take such relief in
+
+    One small chance - One thin line
+    No damn way I can conceive to say what's on my mind
+    I love you - Three small words
+    Just the dumbest thing I'm sure that you have ever heard
+    For now I guess the call remains deferred

+Lyrics: |-
+    If the air gets colder
+    Would you care to smolder
+    Here between my shoulders
+    Underneath the skin of my disguise?
+
+    When the music's playing
+    What can be worth saying
+    Yours will leave me praying
+    Every time I look into your eyes
+
+    For your own protection
+    Mind your eyes' reflection
+    Like a strange projection
+    You will leave your subjects hypnotized
+
+    Radiant and dangerous
+    Though the act is painless
+    I go nearly brainless
+    Every time I look into your eyes
+
+    Where do all of the walls go
+    When you walk in the door
+    You are the "and's" and the "also's"
+    I am the "either" and "or"
+    You look to me like an angel
+    I took to you like a drug
+    Bizarro heaven or strange hell
+    We both were comfortable bugs
+
+    Like a born romantic
+    Mine are words pedantic
+    Left to my own antics
+    Nothing I have learned at all applies
+
+    Things that I hold sacred
+    Tenderly invaded
+    I am nearly naked
+    Every time I look into your eyes
+
+    I can't remember the lies
+    Why is it such a surprise?

+    Who do we know when we know who we are?
+    Who do we play when we're playing our part?
+    Why do we keep putting on disguises
+    Clinging to the cheapest of surprises?
+
+    Clothes make the man, but the man makes mistakes
+    How to survive in a world full of fakes?
+    Why do we repress our on affections
+    Living by the code of our rejections?
+
+    Is it always so damn hard
+    To learn to be happy with who you are
+    To roll with the puches
+    Admit that our hunches
+    Are the only truths we know?
+
+    Why must our praise be indulged by a score?
+    How can we love when we live like a whore?
+    Where did we acquire these convictions
+    Guided not by joy but our afflictions?
+
+    Why call the gaffes when we're all making bluffs?
+    Who says we're made of immutable stuff?
+    Why do we keep burying the layers?
+    Couldn't we admit we're only players?

+Lyrics: |-
+    The light of Apollo rises and falls across the sky
+    The cool of the evening slows your breathing to a sigh
+    Lost in the lake house on the beaten path
+    One broken camera snaps a photograph
+
+    The pictures are gathered, gently slathered, fixed in place
+    The walls of the gallery, climbing, towering into space
+    Beckon you sweetly to forgotten sets
+    One million memories in a stranger's net
+
+    Another golden hour - a needle in the sea
+    Another gift shop postcard - always close to me
+    The light of Apollo flows through all we see
+
+    The faraway beach this tour bus reaches melts away
+    The thundering ocean casts erosion to the bay
+    No trace at all outside my shadow box
+    Printed and pinned up high behind the locks
+
+    The dusk and the morning lull you, yawning, to your wrist
+    The light and the shadows churn as paddles through the mist
+    Life through a mirror might be forged of dreams
+    Just one more snapshot rough along the seams
+
+    Another golden hour - a needle in the sea
+    Another gift shop postcard - always close to me
+    A friend I don't remember - a place we used to go
+    Someday it will heal us - someday they will show
+    The light of Apollo flows through all we know
