	Story Behind the Song This is an older song, from around 1998. I wanted to make it really rough and dirty, so I went a little extreme on the guitars at the end. We used to play this song in Sigmund Blue, and when we got to the end part we'd just crank everything up really loud. I loved the way it sounded then, and I love the way it sounds on this album. I knew Andy Goodson would give me a perfect track for the drum part, so I just had him play something very similar to what he used to do in Sigmund Blue. He nailed it on the second take or something like that. Lyrics I'm not the thing I was when I came here. I'm falling off the edge of my short pier. I'm killing myself off with all this cheap beer. I'm talking about my end like it's damn near over, like it's damn near gone. Just give me what I want and I'll thank you. Just prep me for that jaunt, and I'll leave, too. Just walk me to the wall and I'll break through. It's not too far to crawl, so I'll meet you halfway, yeah, I'll meet you there. Try to find another hiding place to trust you life to. Kind enough to hold your tongue when speaking truth in spiels and haikus. Time is only short when there's some time to watch it flow. And I forgot that I'm alive. I always was alone, now I'm with you. I always wandered home with my retinue. I always took my blows as they're issued. I always fall below where I meant to find myself, where I meant to be. Give and thou shall get what you deserve regardless of your bad brakes. Where can I find God? In aisle seven with the fat-free corn flakes? More or less the same when averaged over several months of heartache. Some of what you say could make me sick enough to change. And I just remembered: I'm alive. Alive? I'm alive? I'm alive!
