Catching Rays (on the Fire Escape) Quarantine Music Video!
Closed beaches and social distancing will not keep me from getting some sun! And to celebrate I did a 60s beach pop style song about the only place I can responsibly sunbathe: the fire escape of my Brooklyn apartment. Enjoy!
Well, the beach is closed
and I need some sun
but when I go out
I canât avoid everyoneI wanna get some sunbeams on my face
But I gotta give everybody their space
So that means I can only go to one placeâŠ
Iâm catching rays (rays, rays, catching rays)
On the fire escape (scape, scape, fire escape)
Itâs been too many days (days, days, too many days)
How much more can I take (take, take, what can I take?)
Iâm going out of my mind
I need some sunshine
Thatâs why Iâm catching rays on the fire escape
I got a beer and a shot (shot, shot, a beer and a shot)
And the wind in my hair (⊠âshut up!â)
I always get a spot (spot, spot, get a spot)
Cuz no oneâs ever there (Iâm so alone)
Oh, here are no ocean sounds
But itâs the best place that Iâve found
To avoid people cuz itâs 12 feet off the ground
Iâm catching rays (rays, rays, catching rays)
On the fire escape (scape, scape, fire escape)
I hope itâs just a phase (phase, phase, just a phase)
Itâs really not that great (it’s not that great)
Itâs not sexy at all
And thereâs a chance that I could fall
When Iâm catching rays on the fire escape
I canât play any frisbee, I canât lie in the sand
I can do two whole things, I can sit or I can stand
I smile at people far away as they walk by my place
But I don’t know f theyâre smiling back cuz theyâre covering their face
Iâm catching rays (rays, rays, catching rays)
On the fire escape (scape, scape, fire escape)
Canât catch any waves (waves, waves, catch any waves)
Iâll never get in shape (Iâm getting fat)
Itâs not a perfect plan
But at least Iâll get a tan
When Iâm catching rays on the fire escape
Iâm catching rays on the fire escape
Iâm tired of catching rays on the fire escape
