    First song from my upcoming CD: Which Planet Next? Really trying to keep it simple, unimposing, accessible, back to my Beatle's Basics 101. About the age old dilemna in relationships - opposites attract. Contrary to what George Lucas might think, we don't have be clones of each other to be happy.

    Story Behind the Song
    Opposites really do attract. I've found in life and love that we need to compliment each other, not compete. My lady Karin is all I'll never be and I love her for that. I'm the clown to her intensity. I'm the vivid dreamer to her pragmatic mind. It works...we fight...but we love.

    Lyrics
    We all have issues, we all have woes
    We all get blisters on our fingers after the show
    We’re not so different, we both feel pain
    You’re not the only lonely princess who gets wet in the rain

    So why is it such a disturbing fact?
    Like a school bus stuck on a railroad track
    A pebble in your shoe, a monkey on your back
    Let me be your Balancing Act

    You say you’re perfect, well how about that
    I’m just the kid who strikes out before he even gets a chance at bat
    You’re top-shelf liquor, I’m pagan pink
    Go sip your fine champagne while I hover above my kitchen sink

    So who let in these drunken fools
    The bar’s still open but no empty stools
    Einstein's theories played to Murphy’s rules
    Let me be your Balancing Act
    Balancing Act (I’ll be your…)
    Balancing Act (I’ll be that…)
    Shingle rattlin’ on your bayou shack
    Let me be your Balancing Act

    Some people like to call it destiny
    Some people like to use the phone
    So maybe I’m just some walking tragicomedy
    Remember me – when you’re all alone!

    So why do I never seem to win?
    The house is waiting, I’ll give it a spin
    One can of tuna, one Charlie’s fin
    Ain’t life precious
    Love’s such a Balancing Act

    And here comes another disturbing fact
    I’m that school bus stuck on your railroad track
    You’re a 747 on my camel’s back
    Let me be your Balancing Act
    Balancing Act (I’ll be your…)
    Balancing Act (I’ll be that…)
    Shingle rattlin’ on your bayou shack
    I will be your Balancing Act
    Let me be your Balancing Act
    Let me be your Balancing Act
