    Acoustic based rock. Had fun with this one. Used a variety of filler modules (Korg ES-1, EA-1, ER-1) for different parts. Kind of Filterish in parts.

    Story Behind the Song
    Basically a song about arrogance, whores and confusion. I was sitting in front of the computer one morning talking to a friend. I said "I am going to write a new song". I picked up my Taylor and came up with a riff that I am sure has been used a million times over. Next thing I knew, I built the song complete. I had a vision of a man standing on the 13th story ledge of a hotel in Havanna. Parrots can't fly, falling from the sky and fish are crawling on the ground. Quite a confusing moment.

    Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    You don’t know just what you’ve got you got hell on your hands and you’ve no way to stop. Bring me love but don’t stay long I get bored real easy, you’re easy.

    [Chorus]
    Shut me down and leave me here –
    And don’t pretend you’re there.
    Go away but leave your needs –
    I’ve got some time to listen to your lies.
    Unimpressed and on this ledge –
    The parrots are falling, the fish are crawling.
    And you’re still lost.

    [Verse 2]
    Lonely tramp Gypsy love walk to me, beg for blood.
    I think you’ve lost your mind.
    Sex pierced underground alter-ego’s been around,
    In the end no one really gives a fuck.

    [Chorus]

    Stepped up high but made no sound. Tell me where are you now?
    Lost and blind and never found, now everything’s upside down.

    [Verse 1]

    [Chorus]
