	A little space pop, a country-pickin type middle solo, a way funky groove at the end, topped off with an orgasmic guitar solo.

	Story Behind the Song Six minute song inspired by Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five". It tries to musically portray the main character in the book, "Billy Pilgrim". The song morphs from a straight-ahead song structure about Billy's battlefield problems and resolve to get to a different place ("this time tomorrow"), into the "Tralfamadore Instrumental", which either represents time travel or is just a cool funky groove. Our song has a better guitar solo than any of Vonnegut's books. Lyrics Billy could see the end was near He walks across the fields of destruction Trapped in this land, Billy would walk He walks from east to west to find a home The sky was empty, and the day was dark Billy looks toward the stars He moves beyond himself into the atmosphere And Billy thinks he's found a home This time tomorrow.... Another planet, haven of innocence The Earth behind him, Billy settles far His dreams of peace are in his heart And Billy thinks he's found a home This time tomorrow... (Tralfamadore Instrumental)
