	Originally released on the 1990 LP Birthday Suit, later anthologized on the 1996 Cascades Collection, "On a Mission" is based on a New Orleans style blues motif, in 3/4 time (vide Fats Domino for reference). The song's lyric reflects on childhood, and the birth of desire from imagination, and imagination from desire. It also includes, in its middle-eight, the songwriter's best elvis impersonation to date.

	Story Behind the Song "On a Mission" was recorded in New York City in the bitter winter of 1989, on Lexington Avenuie and 63rd Street. Lyrics I know I've seen what love can bring to girls, to boys who share all their toys on a mission . . . in fields of green behind the dairy queen in blue light from the screen pictures I'd never seen on a mission . . . man it rained sweet soul kisses I could feel in my bones my old flame finally found itself a home . . .
