    Story Behind the Song
    In the Chicago area, it is getting increasingly difficult to find a place to park your car on the way to gig. If you go into a lot, it will cost you up to 25% of your evenings pay! As professional musicians, Nick and Isi wrote this blues lamenting a problem that is getting worse. This features the Brass Menagerie band. Scott Mason is on bass. Isi wrote the drum sequences. Pat Fleming played all of the guitar parts, including the scorcing solo. Nick palys the trumpet parts including the screaming solo. He also did the primary production, engineering and mixing. Isi co-produced with musical direction.

    Lyrics
    Chorus:

    (I've been drivin' in limbo!)
    Can't park my car.
    (I've been drivin' in limbo!)
    Feel like a bug in a jar!
    (I've been drivin' in limbo!)
    Seems like the Twilight Zone.
    (I've been drivin' in limbo!)
    I wish I could just go home!

    Verse 1:
    Can't find a space
    There isn't a place
    There's nowhere to park my car!
    What the valet's don't make
    The scofflaws will take
    What's left is just too far!
    Let's look for a lot -
    they want more than I got!
    There's nothing 'tween here and the lake!
    The man at the door
    Like to make me poor!
    How much can one man take?

    Chorus:
    Same as above.

    Verse 2:

    Reversable lanes
    And the valets games
    This really ain't very much fun!
    Chairs in the street -
    I'm facing defeat!
    I doubt I'm the only one!
    Can't wait for a spot!
    No time have I got!
    Could be the show has begun!
    I'm 'bout to wig out!
    My senses I doubt!
    I'm glad I don't own a gun!

    Chorus: (vamp out)
