oh seen from above the earth is a snow zone frozen with love under the crust near the equator misty spumes flick out like the tongues of dogs as you get closer as your chute opens as you are rushing in an ice floe spins splayed like the tines on a worn picnic fork your legs in the wind your skin feels the icy bite of the freezing wind that's not to circumscribe your face is so clear your face is so grave you remind me of me when i went that way but more is just not possible to say and in a roundabout way it may be just as well misty palls misty squalls and swells

story of your life it's all true each day you begin again all new there's a house on the hill but nobody's home i saw a teenager taking out the garbage once another time a truck was parked out on the lawn most of the time the binds are drawn story of your life it's all true each day you begin again all new i hope the wolf isn't at your throat i hope a rising tide lifts your goat parallel roads will never meet put your baby in the driver's seat no need to fear it's only us put your faith in the universe nature provideth and taketh away hard to believe but easy to say

about

This EP is sung poetry in every respect (I hope), often over driving beats; 4 on the floor with some guitar strumming. Basically I am calling out to the universe not expecting an answer but having fun, the lyrics are somewhat cryptic with occasionally surreal touches intended to remind people of feelings only partly experienced; rest assured however that this music follows the golden rules of song you’ve loved a million times before and includes fun beats that restore the conditions of fellow-feeling that are basic to survival.
