I just got back from Chappy's house, where we spent the afternoon putting drums on a new song called Wasting Time. Here's the demo:

Wasting Time
Words and music by Tom Baker (c) 2008

I'd like to use a metaphor
Before you throw me out the door
If that is how far gone we are
If it seems we fell apart so fast
Like Alice and the looking glass
Illusions masked the way we were

It was 10 degrees below
Like children playing in the snow
We were distracted from the cold
When frostbite came to settle in
We were wondering how it came to this
We didn't really want to know

We were wasting time...

I'd really like to be profound
Try to turn this thing around
But I'm just wasting all your time
I'd like to think of something deep
To try to make you stop and think
But I'm just wasting all your time

From your myopic point of view
The best was right in front of you
But there was more you wouldn't see
Demons lurking underneath
Start surfacing eventually
And when you saw the worst in me

You knew you were wasting time...

We are leaning towards eventually releasing this material under the Jackrabbit Dares name. The current working title for the project is "All Hail Our Arctic Overlords".

As always, any feedback is appreciated.
