2002-09-18 New York, NY | Knitting Factory

I believe this was the night drummer/producer Alan Bezozi was first introduced to Regina (Bezozi would go on to record with Regina and bring producer Gordon Raphael to her show at Tonic on 12/18/2002).   I also believe these may have been the debut performances of Ave Maria and Somedays.

Just Like the Movies

Lyrics (fan transcription):

It's just like the movies, I eat from the trees
if I do not open the curtains then I cannot see
all the people run by...

my heart eats beats...
my heart eats love...

you are mistaken cause I do not bite
over the williamsburg bridge on a bike
and if he loves me then why does he leave...?

don't say goodbye like you're burying him
cause the world is round and he might return...

but if he loves me then why does he leave...?
