The Eligible Bachelors were playing a party at one of my old places in Santa Cruz. I was working on this song at the time, and Anton and Felix were kind enough to lend their talents for my song.

Anton Patzner - Violin
Felix Ratcliff - Mandolin

Runnin' from the devil
Smokin’ dirt rolled in a sock
Eatin’ all the termites
In the old grandfather clock
If we can just be friends
Then I will not pretend
there’s some gopher hole of love
That we’ll be falling in

Ooo I wanna know you
and soon I wanna show you
I wanna be more than just friends

Now this clock is half devoured
And our time is nearly through
And the last time that I showered
I was thinking about you
And the things we used to do
Making kites with sticks and glue
You tweaked my nipples once
now baby, I’m in love with you

Ooo I wanna know you
and soon I wanna show you
I wanna be more than just friends

Now this old boat’s sprung a leak
And we’re floating upside down
and the kids were not surprised
Miss Murphy murdered the class clown
And my tears may never cease
they’ll just sizzle in the grease
and I don’t know I’ll find my peace
until I’m holding you

Ooo I wanna know you
and soon I wanna show you
I wanna be more than just friends
...more than just friends
