    A gritty song with a latino influence, about living in Florida. Very introspective, but kickass!
    CD: EP   Label: doubleseven records
    Credits: words by serena, music by jeremy stover, arranged and rocked out by reverser

    Story Behind the Song
    these words were written in 1997 in Florida. it's an elusive recount of the whole experience living there... mixed with long distance relationship stuff.
    PART 1
    the crazy thing about this tune is that later, in '98 an old friend, Jeremy, came down from Maine for a visit, and just started playing this sort of spanish/blues riff... i had a stack of lyrics on my lap, and this was on top! We pressed record on my 8 track, and there it was...
    PART 2
    so the trick of it all is this. Jeremy goes back to Maine, and i don't play guitar.... so there sat the song for 4 long years unplayed (except for one open mic, when Jeremy was visiting again).
    PART 3
    reverser forms in 2002 and the lightbulb goes off.... we could do this song... we have a guitarist!!!!! And we all lived happily ever after.

    Lyrics
    sleep with my fears every moon in the year.
    stand in the water. undertow take, take me down, past my own hourglass.
    time is out of the question. question. you may stay, or you may pass... you may pass.

    candid pictures, tape recordings
    artist's canvas, room and boarding
    there we are for just a second.
    stop.
    and i am gone...
    unwinding memphis, coming down
    two would visit, one left town
    and i am naked on the ground
    without language spinning me around.

    aaah so sad the tales we tell, so well,
    of this and that, of dreams and spells.
    dreams and spells.
    girls and boys and those who die...
    that's everyone, that's you and i.
    send send sending you the world on paper

    PAPER MONEY, PAPER PROMISE, PAPER LETTERS, PAPER TIME.

    selling fortunes, selling safety
    peddling patience, decorations
    or a pair of wings.
    revealing weakness, coming 'round
    you would take it one step down,
    and i am naked on the ground without music spinning me around

    aaah so desperate our travels
    we walk so far and talk so little
    little girls and little boys
    and those who die, that's everyone
    that's you and i, send send sending
    zoyodeh dideh dahdodeh dadeh dayo dat dayo deh dow ...oh, paper now, pa-paper now

    PAPER MONEY, PAPER PROMISE, PAPER LETTERS, PAPER TIME
