about

Mystery City started as a momentary dive into the emotion of the complicated nature of being human. Mystery city is the push and pull landscape of the creative mind wanting fame and fortune, seclusion and contemplation. Bleak while colourful. Tempting while terrifying. Written, performed and produced by Jenny K. Brennan in Studio Chaotic, Ontario, Canada 2018.

lyrics

I don't know, I don't know what to believe anymore.
In this mystery city I don't know where to go.
Take that sign, turn it the other way.
Take that sundering far from me.
Take that book, build me a house in a tree.
With a butler and a buttress and a basket with the bits of my fallen stars.

I'm not sure I can tell what to feel anymore.city
In this me oh my city, my body, my soul.
it's a thought-crime.
Now check it for flaws.
Take that shattering far from me.
Take this brick, build me a boat on the shore.
With a sailor and a sister and a sanctuary for the fallen
stars, all the stars.
Pave the roads with stars, all of the stars.
In me oh my city.

Take the suffering far from me.
Take my mellow heart home.
To the doctor and the desperate, the despot and the delicate.
.

There's a bard for every silly song.
A lawyer for every coin.
There's a sign on every secret door.
A devil for every one.
There's a toy for every kinky need.
A wish for every sin.
There's a debt to pay on every might and may.
A spotlight on all the scars.
In me oh my city.

When you're drunk, find a downtown bar.
Buy a drink from a fallen star.
Take a cab down to hashtag avenue.
Make a pass at an elevator AI.
If you make it down to Sundered Records, buy some vinyl from an asshole with a guitar.
When you've tried all the rooms at Misery Motel, you know you've gone too far.

Let this winding road go far.
Let this level ground be home.
In the mystery city all goes.

There's a screen for every story told.
A lawyer for every coin.
There's a sign on every secret door.
A devil for every one.
There's a toy for every kinky need.
A wish for every sin.
There's a price to pay on every might and may.
A spotlight on all the scars.
In me oh my city.

When you're drunk, find a downtown bar.
Buy a drink from a fallen star.
Take a cab down to hashtag avenue.
Make a pass at an elevator AI.
If you make it down to Sundered Records, buy some vinyl from an asshole with a guitar.
When you've tried all the rooms at Misery Motel.

When you're drunk, find a downtown bar.
Buy a drink from a fallen star.
Take a cab down to hashtag avenue.
Make a pass at an elevator AI.
If you make it down to Sundered Records, buy some vinyl from an asshole with a guitar.
When you've tried all the rooms at Misery Motel, you know you've gone too far.
