The Big Plateau

I'm writing again. It's a lot of fun. The same way I came up with ROCK ROCK, this was just at work when the chorus melody hit me. I went to my car and recorded it my new Vado HD camera which I'm now using to record my open mic performances.

When I hummed it to myself the first time "The Big Plateau" was actually "zing zang zong" and I wanted it be heavily asian influenced. But when I eventually got on my guitar and started messing around with the chords to make it work, the asian influence disappeared (probably because I'm not familiar enough with any kind of asian writing) and instead I decided to write a song that was similar to Nirvana's version of the Meat Puppets' "Lake of Fire"

So this has one chorus and two versus and hopefully the rest will be some lead guitar work. I'll have to have a friend sit in and write that for me probably.

So here are the lyrics as of now:

The Big Plateau

Everybody's going to the big plateau
and they're singin and they're sinnin and they don't know why
Everybody's going to the big plateau
and they're singin and they're sinnin to the sky.

First thing that occured to him
when looking down from his hotel room
This is not the place for him
as he stared up at the pale blue moon

She wanders the streets at night
looking up the balcony
This is not the place for her
They just committed adultery

That last line I'm not happy with. I don't want to spell out that the song is about adultery. I want it to be incinuated and I thought about using "felony" but while it rhymes nicely, it's just not the right word.
