about

Dedicated to my old friend Al Leis, a sweet guy and talented musician that I had many adventures with when I was a young Freak. He was also one of my first friends to pass away. Good luck wherever you are, pal. I still think of you.

lyrics

SHOOTING STARS

Up in the hills in midnight Michigan
Watching as the meteors cut the air
They start to burn up when they hit this planets’ sky
I can’t help thinking now how they seem like you and I

We flew in on fire in our Technicolor past
Even then we knew that ride was never gonna last
Your accelerated fall was sure something to see
You were always faster then than I could ever be
You were always so much more than me

I’m tired of fightin’, I’m tired of cryin’,
I’m tired of bitin’ on this cold iron
I know up in the sky another eye looks down on me
And I’m afraid of what that eye might see
The shooting stars are falling fast and free

When it all came down we were still young in a young world
Never thought I’d get this old at all
Here in the cold autumn with the strange celestial glow
I wonder if I missed the place that I was supposed to go
How will I ever know

I’m tired of fightin’, I’m tired of cryin’,
I’m tired of bitin’ on this cold iron
I know up in the sky another eye looks down on me
And I’m afraid of what that eye might see
The shooting stars are falling fast and free

I haven’t always been the man I thought that I should be
Wonder if it matters anyway
When I finally flame out and my soul turns into smoke
I might get to see you and to share that final toke
And appreciate the joke

I’m tired of fightin’, I’m tired of cryin’,
I’m tired of bitin’ on this cold iron
I know up in the sky another eye looks down on me

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
