Mr Power Salad himself, Chris Mezzolesta was visiting us in Calfornia one week! We took the opportunity to become TV's Tile and do a track together! The title came from that week's SongFight, and we went from there!
lyrics
Strictly speaking I'm not on fire
Strictly speaking shoes are not tires
You are in Illinois and
I'm not but not by choice and
I wanna visit you but 40 cents won't make it happen
I just got fired from Starbucks
Seems I've got all the hard luck
And I'm the whitest so I won't make any cash from rappin'
We're so far apart and yet I
love you oh so much.
I can't help but wonder why you
haven't kept in touch?
Beaver's on the wall
Beaver's on the wall
Beaver's on the wall
Beaver's on the wall
Strictly speaking I got distracted
Ignore that chorus. Consider it redacted.
What was I gonna say?
I guess I lost my place.
Oh right, I was discussing our distance relationship and
I think you're wicked neat but
I feel a bit defeated.
I've got a feeing that you're gonna try and call it quits and
We're so far apart and yet I
love you oh so much.
I can't help but wonder why you
haven't kept in touch?
Thumb suckin' ape
Thumb suckin' ape
Thumb suckin' ape
Thumb suckin' ape
I'm sorry there's a bunch of distracting stuff in my room.
I think my lack of focus might have lead to our impending
Cat biscuits
Cat biscuits
What do they mean?
Cat biscuits
Cat biscuits
What do they--
Ah, crap she closed the chat window.

Awesome track! I also love the "tribute" at the end to that old D&D audio, genius!
This is going to be the opener for the next session for my group. Landstrider
