about

Recorded - Friday the 13th of April, 2012 at Kawari Sound Studios in Wyncote, Pennsylvania. With the amazing oversight, generosity, care, patience and talent of many wonderful folks. Huge thanks to Karl Reiders and Zach Goldstein, and to Adam Winokur and Nate Kowalski... and to Arielle for being such an inspiration and driving me to the studio and Alex for letting me use his car to go renew my driver's license... and to Anjuli for singing and thanks so everyone who was involved in this adventure...

lyrics

when there ain't no where left
where we ought to be
and we know we shouldn't get too close
to nobody
let's find our refuge
at least a mirage
get lost in a cold one
or that motel book from God
I'll pull out yer eyes
if you will untie my tongue
is all we consume
is that all we done
when the tortoise crawls
and the rabbit runs
ya pull the wings off a fly
I guess ya call it a walk

cuz I wanna be
someone else tonight
when winning this fight
sucks the light from my eyes
it's another way
of just waving goodbye
I don't even try, don't even try

Hello, I know
we are in between
all the beauty
all the tragedy
we are the footprint
yeah we bend the grass
then we pour the story
then we smash the glass
of the speak easy morphine
my midnight rash
again comes dear morning
that itch I can't scratch
well I ain't ever
been all that clever
but how did the money
become everything
let's plant all our cash
back in this ground
we'll be holding hands
underground town to town
as the billionaire dinosaurs
get all their teeth replaced
going to have a perfect smile
when they die
they don't give a damn
if nobody cries

so I ask him
'man, buried or burned?'
aaah just fill up
half of my earn
put my better half
in the community garden
cuz you know we are always
giving something back...

yeah right man!
