about

The webcomic "Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet" has inspired multiple songs of mine, but this is one of my favorites. “Cyril, Dear” is only loosely inspired by the character from TAPV of the same name, but I feel it carries the spirit he possesses. I wanted the track to have a bouncy, bar-tune feel--I hope you enjoy it!

Please note that I in no way condone underage drinking.

lyrics

Cyril, dear, all knives and piercings
Wear your hair long like your earrings
Slip a tip to the bartender
He will notice your age but not show it

Cyril, Cyril!
You’ve got him buckled
Cyril, Cyril

Cyril, dear, six-chamber—pocket.
Back door—lock it. She’s breathing—stop it.
Cyril, sweep past the bartender
Stunned, he’s no threat, but he’s not this buckled!

Cyril, [Every night I worry]
Cyril! [Every night I stare]
So now he’s buried [Every night I worry ‘bout what’s prowling ‘round out there]
Cyril, [Every night I worry]
Cyril...

Cyril, dear all knives and tall tales
Wear your hair long like your red nails
Slip a tip to the bartender
Did you forget that you do not know her?

Cyril, (Get down)
[Every night I worry]
Cyril! (Get, get down)
[Every night I stare]
Teenagers get nothing
[Every night I worry ‘bout what’s prowling ‘round out there]

Cyril, (Get, get down)
[Every night I worry]
Cyril! (Hold out)
[Every night I stare]
Guess you won’t get a drink
[Every night I worry ‘bout what’s prowling ‘round out there]

Cyril, (Get, get down)
[Every night I worry]
Cyril! (Get, get down)
[Every night I stare]
Cyril, (Get, get down)
[Every night I worry]
Cyril! (Hold out)
[Every night I stare]
Cyril, (Get, get down)
[Every night I worry]
Cyril…
