Bottom Dollar
https://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/bottom-dollar
When you jump and holler it's my bottom dollar, bottom dollar, bottom dollar
When you jump and holler, jump and holler, it's gonna lead straight to squalor
When the bottom drops out of your dollar, the bottom drops out of your dollar
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her
She's moonlighting at the funeral parlor
She used to hang out with Sammy - Uncle Sam in his rock n roll band
But now she's feeling kinda scammy - she'll charge you for the steak but she'll give you the spam
So when the bottom drops out of your dollar
You're gonna want to jump and holler
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her
She's doing time at the Family Dollar
I guess I shoulda read the small print - you know it giveth and taketh away every day
I guess I should suspect the govt. you know they taketh away day by day
So when the bottom drops out of your dollar, you're gonna want to spit and holler
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her
She's doing time at the Family Dollar
So when the bottom drops out of your dollar, you're gonna want to spit and holler
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her
She's doing time at the Family Dollar
When you jump and holler it's my bottom dollar, bottom dollar, bottom dollar
When you jump and holler, jump and holler, it's gonna lead straight to squalor
When the bottom drops out of your dollar, the bottom drops out of your dollar
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her
She's moonlighting at the funeral parlor
When you jump and holler it's my bottom dollar, bottom dollar, bottom dollar
When you jump and holler, jump and holler, it's gonna lead straight to squalor
When the bottom drops out of your dollar, the bottom drops out of your dollar
Lady Freedom's cut back on her hours, please don't try to call her

Grey Skies on the Horizon
https://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/grey-skies-on-the-horizon
A little boy steps out into the bright light of an unpaved muddy street
Nothin' but yesterday's pre-chewed orange peel rind to eat
As he sets off on his day's search for a sucker on the beat
Cause he knows and the trick shows that people don't give nothin'
for free
And in the middle of his day when his mind has gone astray
And he sits in the mud to play - there in the refection of the crud
He notices Delilah
I see grey skies on the horizon, I see a dead dog in a ditch
And I wonder why I never notice Delilah
A woman of numerous sins looks in the mirror and grins
And there, in the cracks of the pitted glass
She ponders on what has come to pass
And there isn't a thing that she can do to get it back
So she opens the door, her legs once more but never her heart
Oh no, not her heart
But as the threshold opens wide, before her heart has time to hide
There in the hall is Delilah
I see grey skies on the horizon, I see a dead dog in a ditch
And I wonder why I never notice Delilah
And Delilah leans on the frame of an open doorway
Of a crumbling white washed red brick building
Scratching the dry arch of her one bare foot
With the toe of the other
And she can't understand why people got to be so cold
To one another
Why they gotta be so cold?
I see grey skies on the horizon, I see a dead dog in a ditch
And I wonder why I never notice Delilah
A little boy steps out into the bright light of an unpaved muddy street
Nothin' but yesterday's pre-chewed orange peel rind to eat
As he sets off on his day's search for a sucker on the beat
Cause he knows and the trick shows that people don't give nothin'
for free
And in the middle of his day when his mind has gone astray
And he sits in the mud to play - there in the refection of the crud
He notices Delilah
I see grey skies on the horizon, I see a dead dog in a ditch
And I wonder why I never notice Delilah

And there, in the cracks of the pitted glass

And there isn't a thing that she can do to get it back

Oh no, not her heart

Penny Your Eyes
http://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/penny-your-eyes
Her knee caps were scruffy and tattered her dress
But she was too busy to notice the rest
To notice the dirt that clung to here soul
Like a monkey on a music box - no brains or control
She's fetching a cold now 'cause they won't take her in
And the heart that she mended is tearing again
Tearing apart like a web in the wind
And she's like to let you know of it, but where to begin?
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
Well the tale that she fashions is frightful and dark
But the bite of her living is worse than her bark
It's wonder and worry and sleep in between
And if it all works out right you might come out clean
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
Well she made you an offer you just can't refuse
Some bread for your coffer and wine you could use
She won't preach salvation or redemption from sin
Just look in here weary eyes to know where she's been
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
And if your deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
Her knee caps were scruffy and tattered her dress
But she was too busy to notice the rest
To notice the dirt that clung to here soul
Like a monkey on a music box - no brains or control
She's fetching a cold now 'cause they won't take her in
And the heart that she mended is tearing again
Tearing apart like a web in the wind
And she's like to let you know of it, but where to begin?
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
Well the tale that she fashions is frightful and dark
But the bite of her living is worse than her bark
It's wonder and worry and sleep in between
And if it all works out right you might come out clean
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
Well she made you an offer you just can't refuse
Some bread for your coffer and wine you could use
She won't preach salvation or redemption from sin
Just look in here weary eyes to know where she's been
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes
And if your deep demons you can't exorcise
Young child be wise and penny your eyes

Killing the Mime
https://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/killing-the-mime
You awake and lime green laughter sips you
Children take the advice they often give you
Stand in place for medications we will issue
I was downing a coffee in an old town cafe
There was nothing to give me a sign of the time of the day
When the waiter said "look here - you'll have to settle the bill"
And his shadow as he spoke to me crept down the street
I said "well this must be Compton or a place as equally cold"
Then a scene from Dante began to unfold
Hot hot - you better call out the ice man
Cool down baby - we are we are we are we are American
Can't you feel it down in your soul?
Nursery rhymes and delicate crimes
Form a line - we're killing the mime
Well, did you think that the pinnacle of your success
Would lead you to places of wonder?
And who did you figure would clean up this mess
After you were six feet under?
Well mister McKinney down in his shop is
Shaking his head for your soul
And he wouldn't give a Guinea to be in your shoes
And suffer your loss of control
As you slip out of the fold
As you slip out of control
Out of control
You awake and lime green laughter sips you
Children take the advice they often give you
Stand in place for medications we will issue
I was downing a coffee in an old town cafe
There was nothing to give me a sign of the time of the day
When the waiter said "look here - you'll have to settle the bill"
And his shadow as he spoke to me crept down the street
I said "well this must be Compton or a place as equally cold"
Then a scene from Dante began to unfold
Hot hot - you better call out the ice man
Cool down baby - we are we are we are we are American
Can't you feel it down in your soul?
Nursery rhymes and delicate crimes
Form a line - we're killing the mime
Well, did you think that the pinnacle of your success
Would lead you to places of wonder?
And who did you figure would clean up this mess
After you were six feet under?
Well mister McKinney down in his shop is
Shaking his head for your soul
And he wouldn't give a Guinea to be in your shoes
And suffer your loss of control
As you slip out of the fold
As you slip out of control
Out of control

Cosmic Sunrise (LP version)
http://tommyvon.bandcamp.com/track/cosmic-sunrise-lp-version
There are thirteen signs to go by
Thirteen signs to know by
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
Be aware you serpent bearer
Beware the constant starer
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
In the dark rift, in the dark rift
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
History’s illusion, the masters cause confusion
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
13 thousand heart aches, the time at which the clock breaks
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
In the dark rift, in the dark rift
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
That’s why I’m so, That’s why I’m so
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
When the sun begins to rise
When the sun begins to rise in the dark
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
That’s why I’m so Sirius
There are thirteen signs to go by
Thirteen signs to know by
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
Be aware you serpent bearer
Beware the constant starer
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
In the dark rift, in the dark rift
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
History’s illusion, the masters cause confusion
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
13 thousand heart aches, the time at which the clock breaks
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
In the dark rift, in the dark rift
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
That’s why I’m so, That’s why I’m so
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star
Super heavy Sirius B
When the sun begins to rise
When the sun begins to rise in the dark
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift
That’s why I’m so Sirius

New product - T.V. EZ GRIP Picks!
Tommy Von’s EZ GRIP picks
-
“Lose the pick where you can find it.™ ”
Treble Model
-
The purpose was to design a pick that not only had certain improved grip capabilities, but also
possessed an ergonomic shape both pleasing to the touch and eye. Third, by breaking up the
outer edge of the pick shape, a grip slot has been created that allows the pick to be mounted to
a guitar strap, lyric sheets, or a variety of a certain range of edge thickness. This makes it easier
to “Lose the pick where you can find it.” :)
Don't forget to include your mailing address when you check out!
Designed by Tommy Von to address the issues of grip and playability associated with most common guitar picks."I want to use 21st century technology that is low footprint, boutique workshop unit output (low volume) and high craftsmanship to solve age old problems of playing stringed instruments with a plectrum" - B.T. Von Gietzen
Each pick features a beveled opening to allow your thumb and index finger to securely grab the pick for an easy grip and relaxed playing with less fatigue. These picks are custom 3D printed at Tommy’s workshop in Denver, CO USA. The 3D printing process imparts a grooved texture to one side of the pick, which further enhances the grip factor. Each $5 pack contains 6 - 1.38mm custom made picks.
Now available - ask for COLOpicks in the order! TV EZ GRIP picks are the ones with the oval, but this new design has interesting performance features that are due to the placement of the C and other factors.
