Story Behind The Song
Personal realization-our bodies are temples that we all exploit in various manners. Some good, some bad, some wasteful and many on a joyride through life. But when the inevitable time comes, you got to realize, your very existence is on loan from The Maker.
Song Description
Realization that we are all on borrowed time. We do not own time, and it does pass by quickly. Our bodies, minds & spirits are all on loan from God and many live a life of quiet desperation. Still, we communicate with the world through the internet, tv & all forms of transmissions and nobody really knows whats going on.

Lyrics
Call In The Loan
Words & Music by Frank Pusateri
She was a big sensation in the prime of her day
Then the muscles start to ache and the hair is turning gray
She felt she lost her value in the economic world
'Cause she metamorphisized from what was once a little girl
I'm viewing my whole life on a big screen TV
While I'm busy on the internet it's just cyberspace and me
I've got a lot to say while I'm in my comfort zone
In a twinkling of an eye before my Maker
Calls in the loan
He droned away for hours putting parts into a car
Realized a long time ago he'd never be a star
His wife a loving mother and they got along all right
As long as he had dinner and she bingoed every night
The judges gavel fell and it sentenced him to hell
After all, he did the deed and his death is what we need
Slightly twisted fiction conceals an anquish of it's own
They'll put it on the six o'clock when his Maker calls in the loan.
