I am on the road, in Milwaukee today and won’t be back into Los Angeles until Monday night, so I won’t be doing anything on the site but posting today and Friday’s blogpost. I will get to all the comments and contest stuff when I get back.

On the plane yesterday, I reworked the lyrics that we all worked on a few weeks ago and I put a melody to it last night. I decided to lose the martini reference as we had salty lips and margarita smiles later on, so I kept it margaritas all the way thru, maintained the moon reference and basically tried to make certain that the all the lyrics lined up in the same direction. Here are the new lyrics. Let me know what you think of the changes:

We met in the Red Pony on the coast of Monterey

Sipping margaritas as the sunlight slipped away

We laughed at karaoke, we toasted one and all

It seemed as tho no time had passed until we heard last call

Last call, last dance, last call, last dance

It was the blue and empty hour when we walked into the night

The waves were whisp’ring to us, the moon was new and bright

The sand was shining silver as like fools we raced that moon

Til breathless then and laughing we fell behind a dune

Fast fall, slow dance, take the chance, take the chance

We were so high, so high, we looked back at the moon

With salty kisses on our lips and jose cuervo’s grin

We blended with the darkness the joy of skin on skin

We found inside each other love’s secret hiding place

And made a promise to that moon, a promise face to face

Last call, last dance, last chance, romance

Let me have your feedback and I’ll have a melody that I can record and put up no myspace by the time I get back on Monday. Til then it’s safe travels and dry places to sleep for me…and crowds of discerning intelligent people, I trust.
