about

This song is a collaboration with my very talented brother, Eirik Houston. I wanted to create a song that fused spoken word and singing. The lyrics speak for themselves!

lyrics

Apple pie

Forty thousand feet I’m falling
And every single foot I’m calling
I’m still doing fine, I’m still doing fine
It’s a lovely day to be up in the sky

And if I believe, I can spread my wings
Then I’m still doing fine; I’m still doing fine, Life is a slice of momma’s apple pie

I’m still doing fine, I’m still doing fine
It’s a lovely day to be up in the sky

I’m sick of the lies from the satellite spies
Way up in the air with their eagle eyes

I’m still doing fine –
I’m still doing fine

Invisible deeds by invisible means
We send the fires teams to sow the poison seed
War child; dead child; we watch them uploaded
As ten second clips as their lives are exploded

For these truths we send folks to lie
In some forgotten field that’s momma’s apple pie
Small town phrases that make it sound right
For all those sins that are done out of sight

I’m still doing fine, I’m still doing fine
It’s a lovely day to be up in the sky

Forty thousand feet and life’s getting shorter
It’s coming up fast this new world order

There’s a dream and we’re making it tall
Our coalition of willing gonna cure it all
So swallow the lies and take up the cry
Go ahead punk – just you try
We’ll follow the action on the youtube channel
The digitized concept of history’s annals
Another death and we shrug off the loss
Its not us who has to bear the cost

We’re all still just doing fine
Drifting up here in the clear blue sky
So have another slice of apple pie
Spread your arms and attempt to fly
I’m still doing fine!

We’re all still just doing fine
Drifting up here in the clear blue sky
So have another slice of apple pie
Spread your arms and attempt to fly
I’m still doing fine; I’m still doing fine, Life is a slice of momma’s apple pie
