I went to a Christmas party and ran into, Stephanie, the drummer of the Black Angels. They were toying around with starting a new side project with a few of the members and bringing in some outside people in from the local Austin scene. I left the party with them and went to a rehearsal space. We jammed until the early hours of the morning and when we went our separate ways, my homework was to write a song for the band and if they liked it, then we'd move from there.

I was working as a valet at the time and I have kinda long legs, so the beat came from my long stride when I was running to get cars. I came up with the whole song that night and wrote it on 2 valet tickets. I knew I wanted it to push and pull and feel really greasy. "I want to see the look on your face when you find out that love is a lie" I don't know. I remember the words just kind of flowing out with the rhythm while sitting in some strangers car. The Angels we're just finishing up the album Phosphene Dream at the time and they took off for several tours so the side band and the song never happened. We recorded a version of it on our 1st LP, "Bikini" but wanted to give it a real shot when we teamed up with Bob Ezrin and GGGarth Richardson for this EP. Garth felt like it needed one last verse.

We were in rehearsals with him and he sent me off to write the last verse. I retreated to the bathroom to do my business and hashed out the last of the lyrics on a paper towel. I washed my hands.
