    simple yet cool little electronic song with interesting samples. The lyrics describe the average night in a bar in Tulsa from a band members point of view.

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was originally recorded as an experiment with samples using random noises to create a percussive bed. It was written & recorded in Dave Lon's bedroom one afternoon from beginning to end. The lyrics tell a series of short stories of things that are often seen from the point of view of a band member playing in the club scene in Tulsa, OK. The lyrics are full of an Elvis Costello type sarcasm and honest kind of humor.

    Lyrics
    Jimi went out
    that's what he's about
    likes to put the poison inside
    frosted his hair and he tans 'round the year
    took swing dancing lessons at night
    he's outta site!

    Surrounded by friends Sarah crawled through
    the pain of Trevor leaving for good
    Sarah wigged out
    she's down for the count
    spun around in circles all night
    do it all night

    Tim and Heather came here
    it's now been two years
    they celebrate for sticking it out
    Heather gets weird
    but Tim doesn't care that she's showin' the band all she has got
    he thinks she is hot

    Everything's clear
    I shouldn't be here
    dreamin' of the day I am gone
    It's been quite a show
    but now that I know
    something says it's time I should go

    It's been a weird show
    but now I'm letting you know
    I'm letting you go

    I stood on stage and watched the freak show
    3 ring circus
    I smile but nobody knows
