Probably our most straight ahead rocker, this song is about a guy who has big plans but is unsure about who it's safe to tell.

Story behind the song
Thoughts about the dangers of keeping our feelings buried inside and unexpressed for too long - the loss of connection with what's really going on within ourselves in relation to the world around us. My intent was to write a somewhat humorous story about a not so funny situation.
Lyrics
FRYING PAN I’ve got a big idea on the back burner. It’s time that I turned up the heat. I’m itching to move And I’m a pretty fast learner. It’s time I got back on my feet. I try to keep the lid on and sealed up tight but the pressure cooker keeps rockin’ all night, and stifling emotions and suppressing desires just leads me out of the frying pan and into the fire. My imagination has overflowed. Looks like I plugged up the drain. It’s time I found a few files to download. They’ve outgrown the size of my brain. A big idea needs some room to spread, and I’ve just about run out of room in my head. If I don’t find an outlet before I retire, I’ll be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Caught up for a moment, Unaware of the warning signs That I most need to heed. Numbing myself to the physical sensations atttempting to deliver me. When I’m in touch with what fills up my heart and my head, I get a strong connection That’s shielded with lead, But shut off my feelings and I’m feeling crosswired. I be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Copyright 1998 Jim Vick
