I began writing this in 2003 watching out takes from videographer, Pawel Wojtasik's short about Jimmy & Mike's car crushing operation. The quotation in the chorus is what Pawel was told at the OTHER auto "rendering" establishment. Dedicated to: Jimmy & Mike["this is not a junk yard waltz"], and the 40,000 cars they have crushed & recycled. Thanks to One -eyed Fred, and his son, two-eyed Fred for the fish, swimming the limestone sinks and the unforgettable Dawn. One night after I had finished the lyrics, I heard a replay of the late Joseph Campbell on 13 comment how with age our paint chips, our bumpers fall off, we have to choose to pay more attention to the light, not the bulb, the content not the container. With Yiming's violin part, I could have sung anything.

Thanks Peter, Yiming is in medical school & becomes a doctor this May ! At the time we were shooting the video she could not join us. We talked about doing a blue screen to put her in later, but never got the equiptment. This is an on going project, so Yiming and other band members will be in the next version! biff
