From the recording Acoustically Inclined

"....a solo track with jazzy acoustic guitar and Norine Braun's capable folk voice, one of those able to shed vibrato and carry it off." - MARK TUCKER (FAME)

Lyrics

Truth and Dares Words and Music by Norine Braun Recorded live at Rear Window Studios Engineer:Adam Popowitz Never needed anyone She always did it on her own Life seemed always black and white People get there on their own Willful youth she sacrificed Her glass filled half way In the night, in the night She plays truth and dares She wakes up living on the street She’s hungry can’t find enough to eat She’s lonely, drunks lie at her feet Downtown, she lives downtown She looks at me with vacant eyes I worry that she might recognize My interest or my empty lies Downtown, she lives downtown Garbage in her livingroom She threw her pearls to the swine World’s my oyster anyways You see I manifest divine Mystic visions watching me I get connected all the time In the night, in the night She knows truth and dares I walk past her most everyday She asks for change I give away I give my penance for the day Downtown she lives downtown I stand corrected in front of truth My mind unravels the naked ruse The spirit moves me into use Downtown she lives downtown Never needed anyone She always did it on her own Life seemed always black and white People get there on their own Willful youth she sacrificed Her glass filled half way In the night, in the night She knows truth and dares
