• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

ETCHKA- This story is taken in part from Actual events, and conversations that I’ve had with my dear friend Masha here in NYC. You could say one of us had a crush on the other. We would talk about money, the arts, love, and life. WE did sit by a river. Ducks swam by at one point. YAY! And, of course, the chorus is semi-autobiographical, but I think I can speak for boys and girls across the globe with the message. Masha also turned me on to a great band from St. Petersburg from which I got great inspiration in Russian melodies, and vocal delivery. They’re called Auktyon, and believe me the Treehouse Pumped their Live record for a solid 4 months.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, too. There are phantom lyrics that don’t get sung on this song. The melody in the horns is actually taken from a lyrical melody I had in mind to describe somebody very close to me. ## # For those who are wondering what Krycevia Glaza means, it’s Russian for Beautiful Eyes.

Down by the river, Down on herself
she said , "The only cure is wealth"
A routine meeting, and he's always there
She gives the update - he listens, she cries
He gives the update - she listens, he cries
He had to look away, and stare at the birds
her Krycevia glaza started to hurt
Time is their best friend
Time is there foe
Time was running out, but she'd never know.

I like to Party. I like to drink.
I like a woman who can make me think.
I like adventure. I like to dance.
I like a woman who's taken her chance.
Drunk on the liquid. Full on the food. Flirty and open, and in a good mood.
I like the movies. I like t.v. I'd like to be lovers between you and me.


It's been many moons - infrequent they speak. but, when he sees her, he kisses her cheek.
Back to the river now. Back to the grave. Now he is honest, now he is brave.
You are a dancer, and he is a King. The American Idol who does not sing. If you tell me a secret, I'll give you the key. I'd like to be lovers between you and me.
