I really was eating microwave hotdogs and listening to Faith No More right before I wrote this. Erik Ness recorded me and my guitar in the basement of the old Farm and Livestock Bureau building in Las Cruces. He later hired a real country band The Desperados to complete the song.

You can now find this song on Albuzerque 22.

PARALLEL WORLD

In a parallel world in this same place and time
We're in a fancy restaurant on our third glass of wine
And you give me that smile and I look in your eyes
And our love for each other we can no longer disguise
But here in the real world, I just locked the door.
I'm eatin' microwaved hotdogs, listening to Faith No More
But to that parallel world is where I want to go
That alternate reality
Where you said "yes" instead of "no"

In a parallel world, we're makin' love on the floor
And we're so loud that you can hear us in the universe next door
And I hear everything, it's drowning out my t.v.
I want to pound on the walls between the two realities
'Cause here in the real world I'm stuck in a sad song
Where nothin' goes right and love always goes wrong
But to that parallel world is where I want to go
That alternate reality
Where you said "yes" instead of "no"
