	Story Behind the Song Contrapuntal Goo Created in the aftermath of a major argument with the love of my life as we battled our way through the menopausal years. I had brought things to an abrupt conclusion with an incisive and, if I do say so myself, irrefutable and elegantly articulated logic. But as I sat down to savor the victory I saw my logic to be fatally flawed and realized that, motivated by a desire to win at all costs rather than to be understood, I had contributed to yet another victory of style over substance. Lyrics CONTRAPUNTAL GOO You're telling lies And they're so well disguised That you don't know what is true Your clever dance hss you so entranced And you're stuck in the contrapuntal goo You‚re such a daring dancer You don't make the same move twice But your shifting shape won't let you escape The consequential vice   You're the nut in the nutcracker And the truth has it in hand And that fatal crack, like a fist in the back Will shatter your I-land And a sea of consequence Will move in like the tide And have its way with your clever little play Then casually subside   And if the shock should kill you Well there's always another train Some call it the wheel, some say its a treadmill But you're coming 'round again And the Gods will have a chuckle At the scare they sent your way Then settle back and watch you attack The challenge of ......another day   Repeat 1st verse   And you can be too damned clever You can be too damned rich A fancy suit and a pocketful of loot Won't save a sorry son-of -a-bitch And the loneliness we suffer is always self-imposed And much of the pain in our lonely game Is exactly the pain we chose
