about

Loosely, an ode to Alex Chilton.

lyrics

Vitamin A

You can be a constellation wherever you are
Cash your Boxtops in and be a Big Big Star
Put some Vitamin A in your life today
And you can make it alright when you’re driving at night

Your mind will be clear and your bones will be thick
Carry three times your weight and never get sick
All the Sweet Cream ladies will cry like babies
Or they can come out to play with my good friend,

Vitamin
A
B what you wanna be! Open up your mind and
C
Destroy
Every
Fallacy
Gettin’
Heavy
In a
June
Kiss

Take it! Shake it! Break it, and make it all over again!

Go on and hitch a ride to the edge of the plain
Get the honeys and the nuns to sing it again
If you should stand up erect and stretch your neck
You’ll be taller than dirt and stronger than surf

And I can shout navigation from the back of the car
If you make it to the graveyard than you’ve gone too far
We can jump in the streets or between the sheets
But I’d rather drive away with my good buddy,

Vitamin
A
B what you wanna be! Open up your mind and
C
Deploy
Every
Fantasy
Gettin’
High
In a
Jazz
Kitchen

Take it! Shake it! Break it, and make it all over again!
