about

if you buy the album on here and would like a physical copy of the tape, please send me an email with your request.

Some instrumental material (interludes, introduction/ending) have been cut for the online version in order to make it more accessible. The tape plays as almost 26 minutes of uninterrupted music with no cuts or pauses between songs. This is how it was recorded and how I (try to) play it live. I highly recommend listening to the tape in its full length version rather than the cut up version you see on this website.

Track Name: fire: I have a friend named desire
I have a friend named shame
I threw them all in the fire
I threw them all in the flame

the fire burned through their bodies
and burned them down to the bone
but their faces are singed in my head
like statues made of stone
and I can’t get them out of my brain
I can’t get them out of my brain
but I keep on seeing them again and again

I have nothing to cling to
I have nothing at all
I have nothing to cling to
but it feels so good to fall

I have a friend named desire
I have a friend named shame
I have a friend named misery
I have a friend named pain
I never want to see them again
I never want to see them again
some of them may die in anger
the other ones will die in vain
Track Name: take me back: back take me back
put me in the egg sack
on mother spider’s back
away from all the rap tap tap
man I’m always stressing
stressing some attack
so cut me some slack
and take me right back

back take me back
send me down the railroad track
on mother engines back
I need to hear that old click clack
man I’m always missing
missing this and that
so cut me some slack
and send me right back
Track Name: alley: I prefer to walk down the alley
I prefer to walk down the alley
my shoes echo on the brick
and it smells like shit
but I prefer to walk down the alley

I prefer to walk in the mud
I prefer to walk in the mud
your shoes may get a little dirty
but that’s alright cause you can just clean ‘em off

I prefer to walk around at night
I prefer to walk around at night
the daytime is just too bright
I prefer to walk around at night
Track Name: right ways/wrong ways: I lost feeling
I lost hope
I found comfort
I found comfort

a new truth
a new pain
tell me gently
tell me gently

a new city
a new life
you found comfort
you found comfort

a lost vision
a lost love
leave me gently
leave me gently

there are right ways and wrong ways
that can lead you to success or death
and everything in between
isn’t really worth writing home about

I found ways to excite me
I found ways to be seen
I found ways to enjoy myself
I think you know what I mean

you found ways to ignore me
you found ways to numb pain
you found ways to always look different
and always stay the same

there are right ways and wrong ways
that can make you feel good or bad
and everything in between
isn’t really worth feeling at all

I found ways to feel happy
I found ways to feel shame
I found ways to forget myself
I’ve found ways to change

I lost touch
I lost time
we’ll drift away
outside of our minds

a lost moment
from years ago
do you remember
please remember
Track Name: not sure: you kicked me out of the door
you said don’t come back no more
but the message wasn’t quite clear so I’m still not sure

you kicked me down in the dirt
you threw out my pants and shirt
but I keep on wanting more so I’m still not sure
Track Name: castration line: get in line
get in line
get in line
its the castration line

do the dance
do the dance
take off your pants
its the castration dance

no more aggression
no more killing
say goodbye
to those reptile feelings
Track Name: love is for the loving: love is for the loving
love is for the lovely
don’t you give it to me
don’t you give it to me

love is for the taking
love is for the making
don’t you give it to me
don’t you give it to me

cursed boring lives
brought on by dreamy eyes
basking in the comfort
of someone by your side

love is for the loving
love is for the lovely
don’t you give it to me
don’t you give it to me

love is for the happy
love is just so sappy
don’t you give it to me
don’t you give it to me
