"Space Wrangler, one of the other first songs we wrote... it's a parable. You know, going to school, learning rules, meeting friends. I love the time changes in it. I'm gonna leave [the parable] up to the reader. It's maybe not even necessarily a "lesson" song. I know JB likes to stay away from lessons. He'd rather, I think, present images that if you read between the lines, create a feeling in the listener." -Dave Schools
