Song Description

This song describes in a funny, witty and amusing way the first romantic encounter of nervous teenagers and how uncomfortable the whole thing was. The song becomes a philosophical description of love and the desperation of trying to find it. The counrty americana overtones and propelling roots rock beat prevents the tune from becoming mired down in the lyric and provides an upbeat tone to a song about the ultimate search for something real..

Lyrics

# 9 Cloud

Verse 1.

She was young enough to ?know it all?
Old enough to know better
Hopping in the back seat
Trying to keep his courage up
Behind the burger King parking lot
Searching for the right spot
Praying not to get caught
Looking for a # 9 cloud

Verse 2.

Felt like a Duck Billed Platypus
Wrestling with my confidence
If I could only find the perfect words
But nothing I say makes no sense
Guess I should have let my heart speak
The only way a heart can
In a world made out of concrete
It?s hard to find your # 9 cloud

Refrain:

Searching for my # 9 cloud
Hanging from a tight rope
In the middle of a hurricane
By the tiny thread of my hope
Talking with the man on the moon
You know I found out what he's up to
He?s been waiting for the sun to rise
Just like I?m waiting for my # 9 cloud

Verse 3.

Love is like a shiny brass spittoon
You really need it when you need it
My heart is jumping like a Kangaroo
Love is boomerang
It?s a shotgun full of buckshot
Once you pull the trigger boy you can?t stop
Where it?s gonna wind up
Depending if your aim is true

Refrain:

Searching for a # 9 cloud
Hanging from a tight rope
In the middle of a hurricane
By a tiny thread of my hope
Talking with the man on the moon
You know I found out what he up to
He?s been waiting for the sun to rise
Just like I?m waiting for my # 9 cloud
