RUMBLE STRIPS
Nick DiMauro commemorates (in spontaneous song no less), our transversing over some Pennsylvanian suspension bridge (I think) as he, my sister Laura and I begin our cross country extravaganza in a red Suburu™1986.
Between you and me I’ve never had a pair of argyle socks. Must have been possessed at the time.

lyrics

THE DIGIT FIN REVIVAL

When the digit fin rebounds in glory
Better make friends really fast
No evil eyes or Bible stories will shelter us from the blast

Takes just a minute for the joker to crack
You know that we’re in it - It’s a matter of fact
When babies start speaking in tongues with a musical rhyme
When babies start speaking in tongues in a rhythm divine

When the digit fin rebounds in glory
Money won’t mean a thing
No special ties - no special juries will cover us from the sting

Takes just a minute for the joker to crack
You know that we’re in it - It’s a matter of fact
When babies start speaking in tongues with a musical rhyme
When babies start speaking in tongues in a rhythm divine

Please help me pray that the digit fin will spare us
Please help me pray that the digit fin will spare us
Bare us another day

DRYER THAN YOU’LL EVER BE!

Takes just a minute for the joker to crack
You know that we’re in it - It’s a matter of fact
When babies start speaking in tongues with a musical rhyme
When babies start speaking in tongues in a rhythm divine

Please help me pray that the digit fin will spare us etc...
(Go holy roller crazy and repeat ad nauseum)

Note:
The phrase “Digit Fin” was originally used in a tune I wrote with Gian DiMauro back in 1988. It was a cool idea that was never finished. Also, some of the melody from The King Of Preachers from the CD It Wuz And Still Iz Late Octobra, was lifted from this Casio tune.
