edit: vocals on original sucked and i like this version better.
story behind the song: a young bedraggled raccoon climbed over the fence and up the tree in the backyard and sat licking his wounds. unlike the normal mischievous/inquisitive air i have seen in most kits, this one looked rather fed up with life as he had known it so far. so i anthropomorphized him, and thinking up a tad darker "rocky raccoon" (lennon/mccartney, beatles remember now?) boy/girl story ending wrote this. (it has been pointed out at least one raccoon song has been done before, but i only know "rocky raccoon" which really wasn't about a raccoon at all)
Lyrics
its gotten darker
a little harder now to be
its gotten colder
its not summer now for me
i'm kinda tired
i'm kinda sore
there's no desire
to do this anymore
climbed over that fence
climbed up that tree
feeling the neglect
i've visited on me
i'm kinda tired
i'm kinda sore
there's no desire
left to do this anymore
its growing whiter
easier now to see
how lifes little markers
are keeping tabs on me
i'm kinda tired
i'm kinda sore
can't find the fire
or you anymore
climbed down that tree
climbed over that fence
not sure what i believe
or what i expect
i'm kinda tired
i'm kinda sore
with no desire
to do this anymore
to do this anymore
