Girl for Samson - Delirious

about

Steve came up with the music for Delirious in December of 2001.
The throw away title was inspired by a fever Steve was enjoying
at the time.  As usual we kept the title and I came up with 
words and a melody in the car outside of his house before a 
rehearsal 5 weeks later.  Somewhere in between I came up with 
the major chords for the chorus.  The chorus melody was Dave 
Bales inspired.  "What would David do here?"  The song started 
life as a rather moody piece which was friskied up once we 
developed it in a live practice setting.  The recording process 
seems to have re-moodied the song.

words

here we are
undone and unaware
and we believe
that the truth will set us free
it's a lie

the sun lay burning in the sky
looks like the truth but it's a lie

here we are
uptown and glory bound
and we believe
cancer is the enemy
it's a lie

the moon lay cooling in the sky
looks like the truth but it's a lie
