I'm having fun with this lyric I have been working on. I was playing around with Acid (the software) and I put the guitar riff from Jesus Christ Superstar's "Heaven on Their Minds" (Judas sings that) over a rhythm loop, and then wrote these lyrics. Of course, it doesn't fit in the least with the alt-country type stuff we have been doing, but perhaps it can evolve to that new genre, taking Japan by storm, alt-hip-hop-country...

I put my ear to the ground, tried to stop and listen
But a part's left out, like there's something I'm missing
We were in the back row there was holding and kissing
Now I'm sucking a pepsi in the intermission

But this is the path to love you say,
Just rattle the windows, and go away
Like a bomb going off far away
It'll turn your head, but not wreck your day

I talk a lot because I think that I know stuff
I don't sleep too much but I dream like Joseph
But in dreams it seems that I'm wearing handcuffs
Your kiss is soft, but your touch is rough

Because where it blows no one knows
You just plant the rose and hope it grows
A broken heart, a bloody nose
You're just keeping me on my toes

So how do I play these cards I hold?
Am I getting closer or just getting old?
Because the silence is just like gold -
It's of the greatest worth, and hard and cold

By the time I send this I might have lost it
I'm enjoying my time here but I don't really fit
When we stand, I'll stand, and when we sit, I'll sit
But I can't say I care for it

Because where it blows no one knows
You just plant the rose and hope it grows
A broken heart, a bloody nose
You're just keeping me on my toes
