Album Notes

Song notes:

Monsters in the Closet-If you can't find them it's probably because they're hiding under your bed.

Running-Hiding/Raise your Glass/All Fall Down-These properly make up a trilogy dedicated to the old adage: "Cheer up, things could be worse". (So I cheered up and things got worse..) All Fall Down dedicated to New Orleans.

Round and Round-hanging out in the backyard with the sun shining and the garden growing and way too much time on my hands.

Doing Alright-To all my old girlfriends who said I was crazy; you were right. Thing is, though, you were all crazier than me.

Lies-written during the 2004 presidential election. Nuff said.

Living in America-Who are all these people? I think I know some of them.

My Girlfriend-Tom Petty eats Neil Young's guitar.

Typical Political Man-I just love my "representatives" in Congress; don't you? Write them, won't you?

Fly Away-One morning in Fort Worth, a lady pulled down the fire escape next to a crowded downtown bus stop, climbed to the 5th floor landing and jumped. My morning was better than hers.

Looking Back-dedicated to my old "Crossroad" bandmates Mike Sites and Michelle Hendricks.

Brand New Day-Hey, let's end on a positive note, say what?
