about

I truly have no idea how this ended up being a pseudo dub track. Originally a folk track about a commitment-phobe. Non-biographical, don't ya know. Does anyone even remember the "March of Dimes"?

lyrics

Matchmaker struck out on me when I asked her for a light
I guess we've both been burned one too many times tonight
She's asking 20 dollar questions as she offers me a penny
When I tell her that I just stopped counting it really means I don't know how many

* How many lovers in this march of dimes
Collecting pennies for my thoughts
How many times? Matchmaker? How many times?

It's like a broken record as long as my arm
like a needle going up and down “I never meant to do you any harm”
and it stays on my turntable because the intro never skips
But the tables turn down at the verse and I never refrain from her lips

* How many lovers in this march of dimes

Maybe I should shave my head and not be such a dude
Grab a robe and sandals play monkeyshines with solitude
Then no more $20 dollar questions will bother my bald head
and I won't stumble on the truth as I trip from another bed

* How many lovers in this march of dimes

Gum boot dancer from way back the poems don't matter nor does the swamp full of alligators. I wrote on the guitar til it wouldn't write back no more.
