this song was written about a friend of mine who overdosed and lost his life....it reflects on how powerless we can all become under the influence and that in the end, drug abuse will eventually catch up to you

Extra Extra really started out as a solo project, and when I decided to cut these tunes, I had some friends who wanted to participate in the making of the album
Extra Extra started out primarily as a studio project, focusing on a wide array of styles that really had no pin-pointed boundries.Through this noncompliance approach, but still having a love for pop structures, came some very interesting compositions. The music is free spirited and loaded with musical and lyrical conviction, with memorable hooks and interesting twists.

Story behind the song
this song was written about a friend who overdosed on drugs, and the rehabilitating counsel that I tried to give him before he passed away.
Lyrics
So you're leavin' on a northbound trip Just south of nowhere You said you gotta get away From this cold, cold world you've made You said it's alright But sister it ain't right with me You said it's alright Oh sister, why can't you see You're locked in your room With your needle and spoon Your world is turning upside down Your head is spinning 'round and 'round Mary you go 'round Ride the horse that takes you up and down and down Living on a carousel I hear that you don't fare so well You see there comes a time to pay the price No one ever rides for for free You said you want to leave this state of mind So I left you at the station You're gonna need another dime Just to reach your destination
