    CD: Gerald

    Story Behind the Song
    Gerald is unlike most Neon Magnates cuts in that it is more of a story and is very conceptual in its lyrical content and overriding message. The innuendo and social commentary are truly the point of the song. Unforuntately the popping"p"'s will require a re-recording in the future. As a demo, this song shows some of the creative exploratin which the Neon Manges have earned their reputation in Southern California.

    Lyrics
    Gerald Came Into The Room One Day
    And Said “Why Do I Have To Be A Mouse?”

    I Said Gerald It’s Not That You’re Really Are A Mouse
    It’s That What You Think You’re A Mouse
    And It’s Because People Tell You You’re A Mouse

    Gerald, You Know Really –
    Gerald You Could Be Whatever You Want

    First You Gotta Convince That You Are What You Are
    And Once You’ve Convinced Yourself Gerald
    That You Are Something Besides A Mouse
    Then You Can Convince Everyone Else

    And You Know What Then Gerald?
    Then You Won’t Be A Mouse No More

    You Know That Gerald,
    Only Person Keeping You From Staying And Being A Mouse,
    Is You Gerald?

    Gerald Is A Mouse
    Plays In The House
    Kitty Cat Trying To Catch Him
    Ain’t Got Now Luck

    Gerald Is A Mouse
    Can’t Keep It Going
    Wants To Get Out Of That Mouse Body
    Find Himself Someone New

    Gerald Is A Mouse
    Lives In That Big House
    Ain’t Gonna Get Himself Out
    Till He Thinks He Can Find A Way Out

    Gerald Oh Gerald
    I’m Proud Of You
    You Bit The Bullet
    Bit The Kitty Too

    Gerald Is A Mouse
    Lives In Big House
    Now He Owns The House

    That’s Gerald He Used To Be A Mouse.
