                                                       words by Jon Colton 
                                         music by Jon Colton and Whitney Wade


I'm driving through another night with you
The innuendo and double talk
Where your words develop voices of their own
There's melodrama then a vicious comma
Is that a sentence or prison term?
And I even doubt the breath in your lungs
But I'm not to blame
I had to start relations with the moon
I'd nothing left to say to the sun
And this creeping feeling grows

Living torn and ragged from your personal baggage
You want to be Ms. Compatible
On the surface where it's safe but still unsound
But now I'm far too jaded to initiate it
I've got a gravelly speaking voice
And my spirit won't sit up and say hello
But I can't complain
Not green again! 
Another signal and I'll never get this fucking thing lit
And this creeping feeling grows

I laugh and you shake
And I'm twenty minutes late
There must be more people on the road
Than there are places to be
And I'm not to blame
As yet another tiny satellite's 
decaying orbit brings it all down
And this creeping feeling grows

This is a space for various rough songs, "Phineas and Ferb" demos, and other oddities that I feel like throwing in there for fun. Feedback is welcome!
