Peter Erickson and Mark McClellan formed OFFICER 67 in late 1990 in Norman & began playing around the Norman OK and OKC area. We later were graced to have the talents of Dean Brown on drums and vocals. Our style is acoustic and we play anything from Beatles to Crowded House, from REM to Wilco. Originals and an album followed when Frank Lawrence, of FLAWRENCE & BEGEL loaned us recording equipment to capture original songs being performed live. With that, Endless Game was recorded and produced with the help of Darla Miller on backup harmonies and Frank Lawrence with studio production.

Story behind the song
Song about runaways
Lyrics
Tomorrow comes another day and you won't let it slip away 'Cause they don't know the dreams that you've been workin' on Out on the street at night, some how your gonna make it right And you don't seem to think they know or care that you're gone Down in an alley way another deal takes the pain away 'Cause no one wants to take the time to dry the tears from your eyes Like a thief the time will come another child is on the run Trading his childhood for tablets of lies CHORUS In the city streets I see it, to back alley ways they hear the call They've lost their way in clouds of confusion Oh no, their backs against the wall Oh yeah, they're the children in us all BRIDGE Oh runaway, Oh runaway, Oh runaway, Oh runaway Funny how it used to be, children playing in the street Soon they'd find themselves in seas of emotion But needles and knives are soon to change their lifes But no one seems to care which door they've opened
