Hello friends! As you all know, rock bands and romance novelists often collaborate on audio songs for print media, it's all very normal and expected, and most of all, unsurprising. In that spirit, Social Robot and Beth Morton collaborated to compose a companion song to her novel, "Phantoms, Ghosts & Other Heartbreaks."

"Weirdo" music by Bayard Russell, lyrics by Bayard Russell and Beth Morton
© July 2024

You’re too normal
For a freak like me
But I want you
Desperately
Let me know you
See behind those eyes
Your electricity has
My tongue paralyzed

Cause I’m weird and I’m strange
But the world’s more deranged
Love do you want to be a weirdo too

You’re too cool
For a man on fire
Would I burn you
Or would I inspire
Well goodbye Miss O’Leary
And the cows of this town
Want to tip over your lantern
Burn this barn to the ground

Cause I’m weird and I’m strange
But the world’s more deranged
Love do you want to be a weirdo too
Cause I'm weird and unsure
What are you searching for
Love do you want to be a weirdo too

These fools are far worse to see
And only you set me free
We’ll clear the air of all the
Smoke of high society
We would be stranger than most
Exorcize this holy ghost
Coming together, coming to be
A weirdo like me

Rather than losing you
Just be a loser too
I could belong to you
We could belong...

Cause I’m weird and I’m strange
But the world’s more deranged
Love do you want to be a weirdo too
Cause I'm weird and unsure
What are you searching for
Love do you want to be a weirdo too
Love do you want to be my Weirdo too
Love can I be your weirdo…
Too
