Elijah Cash was inspired to write another song by the good people at The Getaway, our favorite bar in DC. This tune is for a particular snarky server, though Eli promises this is the most harmless of flirting. When we were drinking there Thursday night, they played Eli’s first song for the bar, and it was fun to see people enjoy our work. Eli asked our waitress and Jeremy the owner for a new song idea; she said, “write about a snarky server,” and he said, “use the phrase ‘Jeremy the owner.’” Done and done. Jeremy warned Eli to curb his enthusiasm, to not overdo it; he said bands stay cool and exclusive by releasing songs every three years, like Radiohead. But that isn’t CI’s style. We are about quantity, baby. We have a raging, burning fire to create, and nothing should stop it. That’s why we’ve decided Eli’s next EP will by titled The Getaway; it will be a compilation of songs about that bar and drinking in general. A perfect theme. Stay tuned. And enjoy these blues, friends! — K.C.

     The Only One I Want In My Net

When I asked you where you’re from, I liked to watch
the small talk spill from your mouth.
You’re a worldly woman, and all of your charms
cast a spell on this boy from The South.

And Jeremy the owner says I don’t stand a chance,
but you’ve never met a man like me.

All my friends know I think you’re cute,
and all my friends know I come here to see you.
And you can be the snarky server all you want.
It won’t make me give up the hunt.
I promise I’ll be flirting until last call,
if you just make all my drinks tall.
I just learned your name, and now I want to know more—
dive a little deeper with each pour.
CHORUS

You are quite a catch, so the question is:
have you been caught yet?
There are lots of fish drowning in this bar,
but you’re the only one I want in my net.
