about

I've always liked this one. It's in many ways a nod to the Peter Sellers movie of the same name, but it's got an abstract quality that makes it stand on its own, without knowing the movie. This is one that I know I've got a few friends who've made it part of their personal soundtrack...so like I said on a different song, I don't want to say too much and risk ruining it for them. On the album, Becky Outlaw sang a background vocal part that was a nice echo-part. I miss that...but if I'd done it, it would've been completely against the spirit of these recordings. I think it works well enough without the echo, but if I had the option, there'd be a girl there singing it.

lyrics

I've fallen so far.
It's so hard to be yourself when you don't know who you are.
I'm afraid I've lost my way.
I've got friends and they've got wings.
I'm a simple man who's lost some simple things.
I'll find myself somewhere someday.

Am I a poet? Am I a fool?
It depends on who you ask.
Life goes on and passes by
and so little of what we touch will last.
Sometimes being there is all that counts.

Am I the sum of my parts?
If I walked in water, would I get very far?
What have they made of me?
I'm not sure I have a real self.
Sometimes I feel like I'm an empty shell;
just watching the world pass by on a TV screen.

Am I a poet...etc...
