A song about the dangers of obsessive fantasies.

classic rock, modern rock, acoustic rock, who cares?
Not a band, just a songwriter dumping ideas onto a Tascam 2488. They dont sound the way I'd like em to, but maybe they will get better as I go. Also need to thank Darin Witten for laying the drum tracks.

Story behind the song
Jonus dreams of a life on the open sea with a beautiful actress while plowing a cornfield hundreds of miles from the nearest coastline, all the while alienating himself from his flesh-and-blood wife.
Lyrics
Jonus Grumby was in love with an actress But he ended up with a farm girl from Kansas He’d lie awake at night and dream of his goddess Gold sequins and lipstick not what you’d call modest They’d run away together hand in hand To find an open stretch of sand by the sea And on a bed of seaweed, driftwood and conch shells They made love together in the moon shade of a palm tree Jonus Grumby sailed the sea of his corn field Imagining sea spray glancing off of his windshield He never noticed what he had in his hands Cuz the only thing he wanted was what he did not have Life is just a broken dream when all you want is a fantasy Reality is eternally the only thing that will set you free Jonus Grumby never found out what love is He thought that it would happen just by osmosis His hearts aground on this uncharted desert isle His happiness lies just beyond a beautiful mirage The Author of his soul is eagerly awaiting An answer to the knock on his hearts door He wants to wake him from his disillusioned slumber To give him life eternal, to satisfy his empty soul
