This song was recorded live at the 8x10 club in Baltimore. It is dedicated to drummer, Jim Bryant, who found out the hard way that drinking and driving is a very bad idea. Love ya Jim. Rest in Peace.

This song was written about a girl I was dating who made me feel like I was not a priority in her life at all. As a matter of fact, she didn't even show up for the gig that this song was recorded at, which had me pissed off and In the last verse, you can hear me say "fucking whore" because by then I knew she wasn't going to show. Oh well. BTW, that chick wound up marrying John E. the bass player in the band. He always did have a thing for my exes...hahahaha

Middle of the Night
c. 2006 M. Vandling/Monkeywithumbs Music

every day I wonder why
you don't call me anymore
was it something I said wrong
or something I didn't do-right
why do I slip your mind in the middle of the night?

you talk so much, but never about yourself
how am I supposed to know enough
about you, to know you
like why I slip your mind in the middle of the night

if you set me free, could it be the same
could you walk a mile smiling in the pouring rain
can you see me?
do you know where I've been?
Well, I'm the same person but I have shed my skin.

why do I slip your mind in the middle of the night?
why do I slip your mind...?

(LEAD)

every day I wonder why
you don't call me anymore...fuckin' whore
was it something I said wrong
or something I didn't do that was right

tell me, why do I slip your mind in the middle of the night?
why do I slip your mind in the middle of the night?
why the fuck do I slip your mind...?
