Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,

Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby

Beside the southern ocean, taking thought of what's to be

Writing you this letter that you'll prob'ly never see

But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistancies, now you need this distantly

I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to

send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did

it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes

tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy!
