There's a much slower, sloppier, lyrically incomplete rough draft located here.

This is the best song I've heard on Mefi Music in weeks. Awesome cortex!

Is a song about songwriting ever complete?

Well, you have to call it finished eventually—otherwise, you won't be able to listen to it again five years later and say, aghast, "what was I thinking?!"

This song has really grown on me. I think I first heard it a year or so ago, but didn't really pay attention to what was going on. It's really layered and I get something new out of it every time I hear it now. It's a beautiful story/metaphor/song. Thanks for putting it down and out there.
