Story Behind The Song

I come from a large extended family and netwrork of friends and I see this all around me all the time.

Song Description

Its about how people hide from their reality; when things get tough, or aging, or going nowhere.

Lyrics

I will travel anywhere on the West Coast with a moment's notice. I can be in LA in 2 hours and have accomodations there! If you are interested in what I have to offer, please don't let my living in Seattle be a deterrent.

Climbers by Joe Carolus

Mason sits there hypnotized, doesn?t even know he?s asleep
In his cubicle of modest size, he?s joined the rest of the sheep
He?s become a sheep

Old Suzanna cannot feel, doesn?t remember how
Numbed by a wallet-sized plastic veneer, and the botox in her brow
Rustlin? around in her tree
Yellin?, ?Someone pay attention to me!?

I?m a Tree Climber
When I don?t get my way
I just climb higher

Polly Anna freaks on life, like it?s gonna overwhelm
Her ship careens toward the shore, no captain at the helm
She?s hidin? out up in her tree
Cryin?, ?No one?s gonna protect me!?

I?m a Tree Climber
When things get a little too rough
I just climb higher

Someone call the Fire Engine
Maybe they can help get me down
All my fears have kept me here
It?s time I learn to stand my ground

Mason & Suzanna will meet leavin? behind the life they were sold
Polly Anna?s got nothin? to lose, so she cannot lose control

I?m a Tree Climber
When I don?t get my way
I just climb higher

I?m a Tree Climber
