Story Behind The Song

I WROTE, ARRANGED, PRODUCED AND MIXED THIS IN ONE DAY AS THE PRODUCERS NEEDED A LAST MINUTE CLOSING SONG. WILL HAVE BETTER QUALITY DEMO SHORTLY.

Song Description

WRITTEN FOR B'WAY SHOW 'STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING' BASED ON AN A&R GUY W/ A PETER PAN COMPLEX LIVING IN WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN AND RUNNING FROM HIS PROBLEMS UNTIL THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN.

Lyrics

HOW GREAT WAS YESTERDAY? CHASING SHADOWS ON THE WALL.
WE JUST NEVER HAD TO FACE IT, NOW THERE'S NO ESCAPE AT ALL.
AND DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR SUICIDE AND WHAT YOU MIGHT BECOME IF YOU WERE SANE?
OUT THERE'S THE REAL WORLD AND I'M JUST STUMBLIN' THROUGH THE TRUTH. THINK IT'S TIME I HAD A BABY OH WOULDN'T THAT BE GOOD IF I JUST...COULD.

DARLING COME TAKE MY HAND. i KNOW YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
THIS LIFE AINT WORTH A HUNDRED GRAND. I'M OFF TO NEVERLAND.

HOW GREAT WAS YESTERDAY? WAS ALWAYS SOMEONE ON THE PHONE. NOW THEY LEAVE IT ON THE DOORSTEP. IT HITS ME LIKE A TRAFFIC PATTERN. MAYBE I'M JUST CRAZY OR MAYBE I JUST WON'T GIVE UP THE DREAM.

CHORUS

AS I LIE HERE PINNED UNDERNEATH THE WHEEL. WONDERING WHAT IT IS THAT SHE REALLY FEELS.? WONDERING WHAT IT IS THAT SHE REALLY WANTS? I DON'T KNOW.

CHORUS

I'M OFF TO NEVERLAND I'M OFF TO NEVERLAND.
