lyrics

"Backyards & Basements" (VanVliet)

Killer in the backyard, playing the back nine. New car, old wine! Big star shooting through the sky, you're gonna fall hard, yeah, you'll die.
We all die. We all die. We all die. We all die.

Bobbies in the basement burning the bodies, children of the government filling up the alleys. But my brothers drinking moonshine and my sisters in her skull. I'm splitting atoms on the sidewalk, I'm losing my control.
I'm losing my control...

But Bobby feels like god, the stench is holy smells like death. But Bobby knows he's god, his hands are bloody, tastes like sex.

You're a child of science fiction, you're a stain of white religion. Did you think that you were dreaming? Were the lines wiped clear by the Television? The Television! The Television!? The Television! The Television!?!

about

Da Comrade! Philadelphia

Da Comrade! was something heavy, something weird from West Philadelphia. Manic/epic songs rife with bleating saxophone leads, grandiose strings and bizarre tongues.
