FENCES

     So, for a little literal update, Scobra and I have been working around the clock on Ramona The Band (now lovingly nick-named by us as RTB) business.  I have been pulling 20 hour days all week long, and lord knows when it'll stop.  Maybe never, except on vacations....Ah...Vacations..if we ever get any.  But that's not the point, what I'm really trying to say here, is that we are generating some heat, some momentum from all of this; and so we don't want to let it go to waste.  A million and one details are coming together to form the coolest dream-catcher that any camper or hippy ever made.  So all on that front is terribly exciting.  I'd list them all out for you, but a few nights ago, Scobra and I sat down and wrote out all of the opportunities that we knew of that needed follow-up and/or thankless hours of footwork, and the damn list went on for 3 1/2 pages.  So I won't bore you.
     On the purely artistic/creative front, we have continued to record new songs (I was looking at our catalogue of songs and we have handfuls that I can't even remember recording.  The whole catalogue is in the triple digits baby!) and so I figured that on the other hand, it would be cool to put some newer lyrics up here, so here they are:

     FENCES  (recorded on March 24th,2009)


Drip-drop letters falling down
Drip-drop, letters falling down 
Wash, my dirty dirty soul
Wash, me so I can be whole

Drop-drop, letters falling down
Drip-drop, on the lonely ground
Acid, watch it fade away
Passive, on that fateful day

Fences, fences, cross my jagged heart
Cut up from the start you know I always played my part
Fences, fences, crumble in the rain
Make me free again 'cause love's not something to attain

Rock-slide, mountain's comin' down
Lock-my, memories in town
Save me, from this wicked waste
Take me, from this toxic place

Sun-light, save your pretty face
Sun-light, come another day
Rinse, me clean oh one again
Like, the children of Eden

Fences, fences, cross my jagged heart
Cut up from the start you know I always played my part
Fences, fences, crumble in the rain
Make me free again 'cause love's not something to attain

Save scraps, for the children 
Lessons learned are quick to die with age
I have, always listened
Now I think I've got something to say

Fences, fences, cross my jagged heart
Cut up from the start you know I always played my part
Fences, fences, crumble in the rain
Make me free again 'cause love's not something to attain

Wild-flowers, mend this broken grave
Stitch-it, back to yesterday
Life, take your heavy hold
Teach, us how to become bold

Stories, let them tumble out
Words, like raindrops from the clouds
Bathe us, in your breathy snow
Brave us, when it's time to go

Fences, fences, cross my jagged heart
Cut up from the start you know I always played my part
Fences, fences, crumble in the rain
Make me free again 'cause love's not something to attain.
