Changed My Mind

Mike and I wrote and recorded this song on Christmas Eve and Christmas day while I was back in CT for the holiday. I wrote the guitar riff myself on Mike's new guitar, which is quite a feat, since I can't really play at all. That's why Mike plays it on the track. The little button at the end is from one of the earlier attempts at improvising lyrics. The mind-changing motif just sort of popped into my head along with the "melody" while Mike was recording. Oh, and the beginning of the solo totally reminded me of the original Power Rangers theme song, so I sang that a lot while we recorded.

Lyrics:
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the clothes I wear
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the style of my hair
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind the food I eat
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, you can have my seat
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the teeth I use
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, I really hate those shoes
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about Kenny G
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, his music's not bad if you listen to it

I don't know why you keep changing your mind
Why go on trapped by your hesitance?
Just be decisive for once in your life
Must hurt your ass, stuck on that fence

(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about that guy over there
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about breathing air
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the car I drive
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, hate working 9 to 5
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the things I hate
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, I think the president's great
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the one I love
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, I love her again now, thanks

I don't know why you keep changing your mind
Why go on trapped by your hesitance?
Just be decisive for once in your life
Must hurt your ass, stuck on that fence

(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about my favorite pie
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the color of the sky
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind 'bout something in New York
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, I'll stop eating pork
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about the government
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind, OJ was innocent
(I changed my mind) I changed my mind about changing my mind
(I changed my mind) On second thought, no, forget I said that

(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
(I changed my mind)
