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
the hope
the rope
was it a comet blue noose
yall chewed yerselves thru
just to cut us loose
from the fantasy world of the mother fucking goose...
the dope
the soap
fall out of our papoose singing
who does who choose
is there a real life possible
to win or to really lose?
the soul
the hole
I guess life tastes so sweet
when yer honey never lies
but now it's just pouring hard
right from our eyes
into a pool of pictures
in my poisoned liver
as I pray for a lover
I pray for a forgiver
as the stage lights fall
flat out of the sky
do the stars keep making
all their movies in yer mind
flesh as stories
secrets to undress
but baby now there is no more
script to confess
no baby there is no more guilt
to regret
oh baby, it ain't over yet
for the hope
