TBC Original? Yes
Recording Session: Three Snakes and One Charm
Live Debut: 05/20/1993

Notes: Originally titled "Girl From The Pawnshop", it was first recorded at Kingsway
in New Orleans on 10/11/92. The original Kingsway take and live versions of this song from
High As The Moon Tour have some different lyrics from the final version.
An interesting tidbit: if you watch the 1992 video Who Killed That Bird, there is a
where Rich is just strumming his guitar and suddenly he breaks out into the bridge section
the song, while Marc and Chris stand around him smoking a joint.
