    Story Behind the Song
    I was gonna do this five-part jazz harmony on this one, you know...all those darn college notes in there...and I did vocal one, vocal two, and listened to it, and decided that was the bear in all its whiskers. So I'll play with all that jazz later...it's like that sometimes you know, you just turn around and there it all is. I did this in about two days...made up the music on day one and turned me loose on the microphone on day two and finished that in two hours (composing lyrics as I went along---the melody I more or less configged informally with a tenor saxiphone that lives
    in my enigmatic piano, on day one.)...
    What is it about? I'm still trying to figure that out myself..

    Lyrics
    The Other Me


    Lay my nightmare naked if you want to
    I don't think that I can stop you
    You know just what I mean too
    Don't act like I never touched you
    'Cause I did and very much too
    Much too much to be a munchkin that lives in my head

    You know it too
    Why do you want to run from you?
    Just like an old shoe
    Cinderella fits you
    Rockefeller did you know it was always me?

    There goes the other me
    She went and named herself right after me
    I am a bitch of a mirror
    There goes the other me
    You got me wondering how it must be
    Will it become very clearer?
    Can't wait to see

    That look on your face you never showed me
    But anyway you know me
    I know you
    You don't, baloney
    Guess again

    You can't chase me out although you want to
    Too bad
    You're never going to
    You'll run to me in the end

    There goes the other me
    She lives her life trapped in apostrophe
    She's all that woman but not much girl
    There goes the other me
    I know it's hideous as hell to see
    Somehow the subject's related
    You know it's me

    Magic colors that you used to be
    D-oh!
    What ever became of me?
    I don't need no stinking key
    Oh no, I'm much too cool to bother
    You know it's something like...

    The other me I tried to be
    But I could not do what comes so easily to you, you
    Or is that me? ( son of a...)
    What do I call you?
    Anything but you
    'Cause that would mean that I can see you
    And then you've got me and you know it
    I've come all this far just to tell you who we are
    'Cause we're really one in the same

    There goes the other me
    Speed up, speed up, I think she's following me
    There goes the other me
    Look out, look out, I'm sure, I know, it's she
    There goes the other me
    Looks like that's...yep...she's following me
    There goes the other me
    I know she's laughing...she ought to be
    There goes the other me
    There goes the other me
