The story behind the song This is one of those songs born of catharsis. I sat down with pen in hand in a state of severe, morose agony over a passionate love affair gone very wrong, and allowed the unburdening to unfold in one mighty gush. Whew…sure beats months of therapy! Judging from the reactions, there are many folks (mostly middle-aged) who really relate to the sardonic, dark humor of it all. Nothing a little trip to Mexico couldn't cure ... which leads us to the title cut (see description for the next song).

The lyrics She got a once-ish notion To give my whole body a squeeze She followed me back to Port Townsend And soon I was down on my knees Then she flew to her nest And she gave me a test To find out just how far she could go Now they're sweeping debris From the mess that was me The results of the test still don't show She gave me all of the answers To questions that I never asked No matter how tender I touched her I still could not see her unmasked She asked me to stay But she just wouldn't play When I tried to undress all her fears So I took a new tact To address my own act And extracted my heart from those spears I wrote a daunting email To urge her to leave me alone She reached in a big bag of weapons And fired a few rounds through the phone On the eve of release When I'd written my piece Trying to budge an unmovable stone Then the guards all relaxed As the killer moon waxed And the slugs found their way to my bone She gave me my marching orders After tying a string to my heart I'm a yo-yo of epic proportions My gyrations are way off the chart It's a shame to be near Such a fountain of fear When you're trying to get up off the ground If I do what she say And I learn to obey She'll reward me by hanging around So it's off to the jungle I go now To try on a new set of aims Those rose colored glasses in pieces The castles I built all in flames I'll be flying all night In the waning moonlight Where it's safe to surrender my shame If I make it back soon I will sing a new tune That there's nothing and no one to blame	The Band David Michael: Guitar, vocals Joe Breskin: Lead guitar Robert Rushing: Drums Neville Pearsall: Bass Buzz Rogowski: Piano
