    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song years ago when I was living in Minneapolis- back in 1984 I think it was, yea that was it, whilst I was kind of going to school at the U. of Minnesota, whilst I was renting a small room in a house a little bit off of Dinkeytown. I remember it was in January I think. I can remember the snow had piled up along the road and the curbs where the plows had dumped it.
    This recording here was just done tonight November 7, 2002 with the intent of then loading it on mp3, so it doesn't yet appear on any of my albums. It's raining here tonight in L.A., which seems to happen only every two years or so, so I thought I'd take advantage of the nice atmosphere it's created and record this. Keep in mind like I mention on the recording that it's pretty late at night so I kind of had to keep it down.

    Lyrics
    I watch the stars and wonder if she's there
    Lookin' for me through her Xeonosphere
    They think I'm crazy to say she came
    one starry night
    And kissed me at the speed of light

    The sea was shining neath the stars of night I wandered to the shore
    and saw her in the moon's light
    She said she knew me from a world so far away
    Ten thousand light years from today
    In a world so far away

    She's just a girl from planet Xeon
    Just like any woman
    whose veins are filled with freon
    Don't think I'd like to live on
    Xeon on and on
    Though I loved her for a day
    If she comes from far away
    I'll fly across the Milky Way

    And then a message came from Perseus
    Via the mermaid who lived on Serious
    In summer's solstice
    when the moon was full in June
    She'd take me to her Xeon hume
    When the moon was full in June

    She's just a girl from planet Xeon
    Where the women laugh
    and never have their clothes on
    Maybe I'd like to live on Xeon on and on
    Where I'd love her all my days
    And eternity's O.K.
    So that's all there is that's left to say

    I watch the stars and wonder if she's there
    Lookin' for me through her Xeonosphere
    They think I'm crazy to say she came
    one starry night
    And kissed me at the speed of light
    On one starry starry night
