    (Home Recording) A song both heavy and light in parts, with a strong melody line. The first solo is reasonably well structured, but the second solo/outro is completely improvised. I play both guitars and do lead and harmony vocals, plus bass. The drums are sequenced samples. The outro solo is totally improvised.

    Story Behind the Song
    Open to interpretation. I was inspired by a few different events.

    Lyrics
    VERSE 1

    I feel so alone gazing up in the night,
    Can't shake the feeling that something ain't right..
    I've come out from the frying pan and into the fire,
    The only thing I'm missing is the prison attire..

    Can't forget how I fled,
    It tore pieces from me and I bled,
    As I cast off from the old....in search of the new...

    CHORUS 1
    I try to smile but I can't pretend,
    Thought I'd start healing at my journey's end,
    But I'm no more than money to spend on a free ride....
    The grass is supposed to be greener on the other side...

    VERSE 2
    My mother passed on just the other day,
    Couldn't bear to look in her eye as her soul ebbed away,
    She told me to run and not to question why,
    I never got to give her my last goodbye...

    Had to leave her behind,
    To restore my faith in mankind,
    But now that I'm here...... I even question myself...

    CHORUS 2

    Back in the old land we lived in fear,
    And the price we paid for freedom was dear..
    They said we could wipe the slate clean here but they must have lied....
    Cause they said the grass would be greener on the other side...

    SOLO

    CHORUS 3

    No I wasn't hoping for hot spas
    And I never expected five stars,
    But to end up locked away behind bars oh it hurts my pride....
    The grass don't seem any greener, the grass sure don't seem greener on the other side....
