Slipping Away v 2.0 (Studio Version)

10/17/03 -- I just rediscoverd this track when I was in Seattle a few weeks ago doing the RetarDEAD themesong.

I'd forgotten how good this came out, and just kinda never got around to doing anything with it. Now that I've played it for people, I'm told it may be my best track ever. (Which reminded me to make it available to you.)

I'll be going back to Vagrant Records soon to cut some more tracks. This time with Ron by my side in the studio. I can't wait. (Even if Evan Foster did play the hell out of this song! Thanks, Evan!)

One of the great things about recording with Evan was that he could really pull these songs out of my head. I would say something like "Randy Rhoads tone" (not for this song, but for say Poltergeist, and he would just know what I meant, and play it perfectly. I was really great working with him, and I'm told it will never happen again, because he's about to be a rock star :-) So I feel especially lucky to have worked with him "when."

Anyway, hope you like it. Check it out.

Lyrics

Sometimes, I can't seem to unwind
I'd put my feet in the air
But there's too much on my mind
And I'm just
Traveling with my face in a jar
I got one foot in the door
And things are fine how they are

But sometimes I think
I got it made in the shade
And then, starts a feeling like it's slipping away
In my mind

But everything seems ok
Everything seems ok

Dying
I'm dying to win
And I'll be killing myself
To be born over again
Are you lying?
I ain't too sure who you are
You're just a traveling salesman with your face in a jar

It's always when I think that something's coming my way
Then I get that funny feeling like it's slipping away
For the last time

But everything seems ok
Everything seems ok
Yeah

It's always when I think that something's coming my way
That's when I get the feeling it's all slipping away
In my mind

But everything seems ok
Everything seems ok
Yeah everything seems ok
Everything seems ok
Yeah everything seems ok
Everything seems ok
Yeah everything seems ok
Everything seems ok
Yeah everything
