Theme: GEOMETRY

This song was started, as always, because it was the most recognizable for the theme, but mid-way through production, my dog Keebler slipped a disc in her back and was paralyzed from the waist down. This song became more of a tribute to her, and it's just about the most emotional thing that I've had to tackle yet. Joining me are Owen Hodgson on piano, Christopher Henderson on guitars and Dave Thake on drums. I sang and played bass, as well as mix and video. This one's for my Keebs...

lyrics

Put your hair back, we get to leave
Eleven gallows on your sleeve
Shallow figure, winner's paid
Eleven shadows way out of place
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close
Who might leave you where I left off?
A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends
Drink another, coin a phrase
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs
Speak out sometimes but try to win
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
