Regarding your dress: "Of course, I'm wearing my Roy Rogers outfit with scuba gear over it. She has no sense of humor." Phil, you've got to run away & join the circus. The excitement, comradarie of other unusual people, & no end of new places to see should get you back to "normal"!
You must check out Cry, Cry, Cry (group of Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky, & Dar Williams) doing "The Kid". You can d/l the song here:
http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?ean=793018284028"I'm the kid who ran away with the circus,
Now I'm watering elephants.
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust
Dreaming I'm in a suit of light.
Late at night in the empty big top, I'm all alone on the high-wire.
Look, he's working without a net this time, he's a real death-defyer.
I'm the kid who always looked out the window,
Failing tests in geography.
But I've seen things far beyond the schoolyard -
Distant shores of exotic lands.
There're the spires of the Turkish Empire, six months since we made landfall.
Riding low with the spices of India through Gibralter, we're rich men -
All...I'm the kid who thought someday we'd be lovers,
Always held out that time would tell.
Time was talking, guess I just wasn't listening.
No surprise, if you know me well.
And as we're walking toward the train station, there's a whispering rainfall.
'Cross the boulevard you slip your hand in mine, in the distance the train calls.I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming.
Sometimes gets me in trouble, too.
But the truth is, I could no more stop dreaming
Than I could make them all come true."Of course, I know Bob'll proably shunt this over to PB Social.
