Here’s an old demo of a new song “On the Run.” One of my most useful eBay purchases was a cheap battery powered Casio MT-36. It’s been my main songwriting instrument for the past two years. It’s refreshing to not have to stare at a computer screen overloaded with possibilities. It simplifies choices. (Do I feel like Rock or Swing?) Anyways, this was a quick demo recorded for myself just after I finished writing it. I have a lot of these. I record these just to make sure I don’t forget them. Lyrics, MP3, and more below.

Here are the lyrics. Some of it involves a story I heard about a mouse discovered living in an ATM machine. This song will be on the new album “Person Number” later this year.

500 BPM, I can make a home in an ATM
But you’re on the run again
Just me and Andrew Jackson
Living out our lives on security cam
But you’re on the run again

Jump the equator, then
Double-dutch with the prime meridian
‘Cause you’re on the run again
Last seen in Bogota
Your passport was dressed in polka dots
‘Cause you’re on the run again
