Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write something funny about what it's like to be a creative performing person while the world is a mess.
Song Description
1970's style euphoric rocker likening the singer's mind to a meteor. A roller-coaster ride with great guitar hooks and a soaring vocal a'la Heart or Bowie. A travelogue through the mental trajectory of a creative moodswing inside a hurtling meteor!

Lyrics
Wild romance in my convertible
With your Neck on my seat
Reaching up to touch incredible
Answers to the riddles
I'm losing sleep
I try to picture what destiny's for
And I try to imagine a world without war
But it's just
One more meteor
Crashing through the atmosphere
Around the speed of sound
One more meteor
Going way too fast for me to
Hear it on the ground
One more meteor--Meteor
In that naked early silence
I can feel clearly
I have put in so much mileage
And for my mind's violence
I have paid dearly
When these stars start comin I can't keep 'em in
My brain is hummin' it's just like I'm livin' in--
One more meteor
Going way too fast for you to
Hear me on the ground
One more meteor
Crashing through the atmosphere
Beyond the speed of sound
One more meteor
The code! The code has got its rock suit on
It's golden. It's tumblin towards the dawn
Can ya hear me in there, with your rock suit on?
Hello? Come on!
One more meteor
Going way too fast for me to
Hear it on the ground
One more meteor
Had it in my hand but it had
Fizzled out by then
Maybe I should wake again
Around about 3 am
It's gonna be a year before
This many of 'em come again
Just one more meteor~~~~~~~~~~
