about

I started writing this song at the beginning of February thinking about what new sounding things I could do for this album. I wanted something a-typical, and eventually got this kinda Latin Jazz thing happening. Then I found the organ sound on my keyboard. I knew I had a hit. I came up with the lyrics in like 35 minutes, just writing things down on a big piece of cardboard and doing word association until i had enough key phrases to make a story.

lyrics

You can't go back to 1995.
You can't go forwards or backwards through time.
But you can go back
to the Crap Dragon again.
Eat some Chinese food with all your self righteous friends.
