Story Behind The Song
I had actually performed this song live with my old electronic band, Secret Army, a number of times & never recorded it, so it was a natural to include in the first recording session at BFoot's house.
Song Description
It was challenging to get a good mix of this since I had sequenced it on my dinosaur Korg O1/WFD. This became a prob come mastering time, but BFoot pulled it out of his ass. I'm not the best keyboard player, but I had really worked my chops on this one

Lyrics
CHEW
I'd rather ride a choo-choo than fly high up in an airplane
I'll never drive a taxi, if I did I think I'd go insane
I'd sooner bite my tongue than say the words that I was gonna say
I'd never hurt your feelings & I don't why I feel this way
Mommy
Always told me
Son, you're gonna be a star
Thought it would be nice
It would suffice if I
Could go that far
Anything less than success
That just will never do
Eat it up & spit it out & wipe your mouth but don't forget to
Chew - before you swallow take another bite
Chew - before you follow me into the light
Chew - now swallow down a piece that's good for you
Chew
I'd rather eat some crow than eat the fist you feed me, take the pain
I'll never let my mouth get in the way, I'd love to pick your brain
I'd sooner bite the hand that feeds me, every finger is a meal
They always hurt my feelings, now I think I know the way you feel
Maybe someday
A train will come your way
So be ready
Taste the rain
Insane how it sooths your pain
Cool & steady
And you'll wait on a plate for the day, sit & stew
Til the day comes when
Everybody wants a piece of you
