about

Recorded live to tape in Berlin on a Spring afternoon in 2013...
no overdubs and no thinking, just with great company, a six pack of beer, a good room and equipment. Million thanks to Federico Albanese for making it possible.

lyrics

pull the oceans drain
for an endless train
of character names
twisting mirrors into days
are ya keeping yerself from falling apart
with yer spray on skin yer coo coo clock heart...
well my eyes are jelly jars full of stars just wanna be lost..
I'm going to hang that puppeteer from his own cross.
are ya keeping yerself from melting to fast
with yer ice cube tray teeth refill that glacier cold laugh
will ya be dead to trade it in... begin again?
with that new car smell
the swing of church bells
oh how can you tell?
Sorry to talk to you
from behind the glass
sorry out heads go rolling
around their own masks...
well but maybe we ain't here at all
maybe were just an echo down the hospital hall
maybe were just answering the call
of the wild, of the wild, of the wild...
do paws applaud? no no
acting tall living strong
on top a deflating beach ball
building long lonesome belonged
behind our famous walls...
and I wonder about the show
if the puppet even knows about the hand down in it's hole..oh oh oh
well eeenie meeniee mineee mo!
catch a tiger by his toe, if he hollars let him go... let us go...
I'm going to hang my nests
around the neck
of the scarecrow...
