About

On Tour with Zykos is a song about a girl, a guy and a one-night stand, served with just a touch of bitterness.

In a way, girl’s-eye view of the one-night stand is the answer song to A Girl in Port from The Stage Names.

Zykos is a reference to the band of the same name from Austin, Texas. They’ve...

On Tour With Zykos Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He gets close, but I choke
Take your shit, take your clothes
And get out of my home
I want you to love me
Or I want you long gone
You say your real name is John

[Verse 2]
Hey, thanks John
Go sing songs, go rock on
Roll your crew on down the road
To the next sold out show
Think you can get up above me?
Well, I want you to know

[Verse 3]
You're a figure of fun to everyone
'Neath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
They wish they were you
Like I wish you were mine
What a dumb thing to do

[Verse 4]
How come I shout "Goodbye"
When god knows I just want to
Make this white lie big enough
To climb inside with you

[Verse 5]
Another day, lost and gone
Clipping pages from the news for the senator's son
Well, he just strolls through the lobby
And glad-hands everyone
Another day, tossed and done

[Verse 6]
I go home, take off clothes
Smoke a bowl, watch a whole TV movie
I was supposed to be writing
The most beautiful poems
And completely revealing
Divine mysteries up close
I can't say that I'm feeling
All that much at all
At 27 years old

[Verse 7]
I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire
At the only decent bar in town
And they drink MGD's
And they wish they had me
Like I wish I had fire
What a sad way to be
What a girl who got tired

[Verse 8]
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?
Did she feel alive?
Her head all light
