Regina's debut LP was recorded in her senior year at Purchase College and self-released in 2001. It eventually went out of print on CD, owing mainly to the loss of the original artwork, but it is currently available as a download from CD Baby and other outlets.

Lyrics (as originally posted by Regina on brümstix):
I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
but its better than sleeping by the wasteside of today
all the barbershops and funeral-homes were open
and the customers were coming and the business was doing great

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
just dreaming dreams and drooling on my bed
all the people in my town would be born
then they'd get themselves a little hair cut
and then promptly after they'd be dead

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
when a drunk girl awoke me on the train
but I did not see her stumbling and I did not hear her mumbling
as I dubbed myself a passenger
and kindly stepped away

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow I was sleeping
I was sleeping I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow of tomorrow
ladies and gentlemen
I was just sleeeeee-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was sleeping by the wasteside of tomorrow
but it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today
all the barbershops and funeral-homes were open
and the customers were coming and the business
was
doing
great...
