Since I could not find the words... I used Pat's. He's just so dang good at it.

OK. Worth the wait. Except for the "rippin' our hearts out" part...

Such power in a "conversation" lyric. This is what songwriting ought to be.

(On a different note... when you are busking to guerrillas... do they tip well?)
