2.	Fall On Me	Play			Fall On Me Fall On Me music and lyric: R Nease You come around, like a tidal wave bouncing me off to the sea and you come around, it’s a mystery I know what you mean to me, what you said to me, in the afternoon Out of reach, in the November sun Fall on me, warm me with those eyes Oh, it’s cold outside Fall on me, instead you run away It’s so very clear to you Now there’s state lines and circumstance I don’t know if it’s right but I’ll take that chance Distant hunger on a voice across the phone Bury me in the arms of the moment Cover me in the night without warning Fall on me, every time I make amends every night I’m too intense Fall on me, the spaces in between It’s so very clear to you You pick up your coffee and you said your goodbye you said you’d make it, make it if you had the time No strings attached and you asked if I mind Oh it’s more, it’s more than just a good time I’ve got the bad imagination red, strange hallucinations, but I’m normal from time to time My face looks like a victim you know a smile can trick them but is that murder on your mind? Fall on me, every time I make amends every night I’m too intense Fall on me, the spaces in between It’s so very clear to you Lyrics	Fall On Me Credits Music and Lyrics - Rick Nease Produced by Jason Kuehn The band: Rick Nease - lead vocals, guitar Jim Foltz - bass and vocals Richard Lange - lead guitar Bill Lenhart - drums Dan Schroeder - keyboards Info

12.	Strange Life	Play	Download			Strange Life Credits Lyric: R Nease, Music: R Nease, R Lange Notes This track never made the CD and has never been available until now. "Strange Life" is about frustration at the ironies in life. It features my favorite lead guitar moment from Richard Lange. But there were moments in the B section that bothered me, so we dropped it from the CD. What makes this track interesting is that I took a few of my favorite lines from it and used the in "Seriously" which went on to be much more successful. "Strange Life" offered to you a free download Info

"Layering it's organic rock n' roll with a popsmith's sense of melody, BadMonkey finds there's still room for smart music."
