    Story Behind the Song
    This was more or less a throw away song that my band The Pike Bishops started playing recently. The bands version is NOTHING like this. We joked that it was our Foghat song. Well, this ain't no Foghat song. This is how I always heard it. Peculiar at best. This baby was recorded in only a couple of 3 or 4 hour sessions. It just came together perfectly. The vocal is the rough. We decided to keep it. My original plan was to more or less bark out the song. Then again, this may be what I'm doing regardless. Yikes!

    Lyrics
    That old moon
    Up in the sky
    I'll never set a foot on it
    No matter how I try
    The desert sun
    Is in my eyes
    Like a turtle on its back
    I just lay here and fry

    There's a dog
    Out in the yard
    Been barkin' all night
    Shit on the neighbors lawn
    That old man
    Down the street
    He rambles and raves
    'bout all the things he's seen

    I just keep running in place
    I'm runnin' in place

    If you've seen
    The evening news
    It's crazy out there
    You better watch the things you do
    It's all too much
    It's all too strange
    I'll keep an eye on you
    If you will watch my back too

    I'm running in place...
    But I will win this race
    Surrounded by walls...
    I won't stumble or fall
    The clock ticks away
    Toward another day
    Will you hang around...
    To wait for the call?

    I just keep running in place
    I'm running in place.
