== Lyrics ==
<pre>
don't talk to strangers
don't talk to me
i don't need anyone but everyone needs me

don't cross the street
don't cross me
you don't need anyone does anyone need me
wait and see

he doesn't understand what kind of friend i am
he doesn't give a damn for me


the brightest star is not a star at all
the brightest thing is the moon
the brightest light shines tonight
in your eye
</pre>

== Author's Notes ==
A little "suite" we whipped up from two more of Sam's college demos when he and Alex came to visit me in Chicago over Memorial Day 2007.  The organ solo over verse two of the first bit was recorded by making Alex play without the backing track for reference, or even a steady beat, and then dragged onto the track.  Sam insisted on doing it this way, and it drove Alex nuts.  Ha.

Sam's on guitar, vocals, and drums rolls at the end; I'm on drums, tambourine, lead guitar, and backing vox; Alex is on cool synth bass, organ (against his will), piano, and backing vox.
