Clang Head waking then its never a party Splinters from the plank putting tears in my eyes Gritting my teeth and clenching my fists Hasmouth blabbin' at me kissing his balls tonight But when the butterfly bites the walking snake Shrill shriek and the reeling drives a stake down Into the throat of the dog who's howl will wake the dead! I'm your tart, I'm your muffin bite me bite me tongue my blood Looks like gold falling out of the sky Swimming pools race cars Jet planes candy bars because When the butterfly bites the walking snake Shrill shriek and the reeling drives a stake down Into the throat of the dog who's howl will wake the dead!

Miss You 01:27
Lying here wishing it was different than it is Knowing that it isn't Simple things bring memories that knock me on my back Reminded what I'm missing Lonely bummer hits me when I'm sittin' on the crapper Lonely bummer hits me when I'm watchin' TV Its a pain in the ass gettin' hit when I'm not up for it It's a pain in the ass! Lying here bawling covering everything with snot Bloating and deflating Crap flying out of my conniption fit mouth And I'm doing a lot of hating Block colors Tighty Whiteys Brown hair brown eyes medium hight medium build no mood swings no addictions no vices eat right shit right sleep well act nice crap what the fuck! Anacin didn't work Hash in Nevada didn't work Cranking DeBarge didn't work Carl Sagan didn't work Quitting work didn't work Nothing works, nothing works! Tell me why I miss you so much.

White Gas 01:27
You blacked out but who could blame you shaking like a cramped leg trying to cram it all Into to one thin day snot nose zit face Lose clothes head case Waitin' waitin' waitin' for the summertime Saturday Walking out on his own, heaven knows where he's going Now he's got nothing rolling under his soles But upstairs lights on bangin' pots and pans together Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals Heart and mind hand in hand roll on little man Worlds ahead are waiting to divide you up But never mind heartache stiff truth and heartbreak And things you gotta talk about will shut you up Heading into the classroom shivering and breaking it out Making nothing turn a laugh out from your friends Smoking and heaving and hitting lotsa walls hard Making fun of everything you're gonna to hit some dead ends Your mouth is getting bigger your hearts getting smaller That cocky shit you're swaggering could shrivel up and die But don't let it bother you bang your head hail hail get it on! Forget about the future! Heart and mind hand in hand roll on little man Worlds ahead are waiting to divide you up But never mind heartache stiff truth and heartbreak And things you gotta talk about will shut you up Upstairs lights on bangin' pots and pans together Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals Keepin' white gas flowing onto the coals Yeahoooo!

My friends are waiting; heavy shoulders slung lip I'd walk the line if I could find it Commands barked I can't follow: "Stand on one foot, touch your nose"! I can't. I need to lie I got the moon, the moon in my eyes Laughing making fun of everything you stand for My friends don't know I'm gonna spend the night with you You got me why don't you stop riding me man? My walk is bad I've given up lyin' I got the moon, the moon in my eyes Lazy personality Lazy direction Comfortable and warm Gropin' for the gears Cold wood bench and a clean orange smock I can't wait for coffee tomorrow! My friends are waiting; heavy shoulders slung lip I'd walk the line if I could find it Commands barked I can't follow: "Stand on one foot, touch your nose"! I can't. I need to lie I got the moon, the moon in my eyes

Out behind the high school a body lays in the lawn At five AM the birds begin to chirp in the blueing of the dawn No one sees this blackened skull, no one sees this blood Glistening underneath the roving satellites Downtown the stoplights get the flow moving as smoothly as they can Its hard to get to work on time. It didn't used to be this way. Knuckles clenching steering wheels and eyeballs going wild And bugging out underneath the roving satellites Up above the atmosphere a spacesuit floats around A blueing forehead knocks against the visor but it doesn't make a sound Clenching fingers harbor every anguish no one else will know Floating alone up above the roving satellites.

Broken legged guy got pills "here have a handful" life is just a cocktail party on the streets, yeah yeah. Wobblin' around with my hands in my pockets gotta cranium full of rockets and i'm spinning out! You know I ain't drunk yet, but I'm gonna get. Generosity could kill me. I'm stupid and curious. How many fuck-ups do you get before you can't get fucked up any more? Rock and Roll nurse slipped and dumped out her purse And I just happened to have my tongue on the floor. And now I'm trying to walk but I can't even talk so what I said was: "Blugblurb" well...you know what I said; I said I ain't drunk yet, but I'm gonna get. KEEP THIS AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN! Brothers and sisters. Extra terrestrials. Stand back from the planet. We're gonna have a good time! I ain't drunk yet, but I'm gonna get!

Hot strong fire at the front of the club Everybody runs to the back of the club Only one door at the back of the club Only one door and its all sealed up Screaming and heaving and crawling around Everybody's acting like popcorn Cigarette smoke is getting muscled out Or mingling with the heavier stuff All of that pain, all of that anger All of them pimples and curly hair All of that make up and leather jacket Swift as anything into the air Stop your sobbing it aint your problem Nobody knows where they went Stop your sobbing unclench your fists Everything's crispy now nothing's soft They used to be breathing used to get worried Used to get wrinkly when they took baths Come on come on come on lets get outta here.

He wrote you letters, like you cared I know you didn't, you know you didn't But still you ran your fingers through his hair And he'd kiss you when you'd let him Resiliency amazes me She wrote me letters I didn't read Don't know why I didn't But she knows I didn't Still I caressed her and sang her to sleep And sometimes I'd tell her she looks beautiful Resiliency amazes me When I left you, I got on the bus I knew I'd see you, you knew I'd see you Still you cried and now I know why Ain't it too bad, I loved you so much Resiliency amazes me.

about

This album was recorded in the awesome 2 inch tape based studio of Gary Flori in Denver Colorado in the spring of 1995. It was distributed in tape only form because people had cassette players in their cars and this is a really good album to crank in a car. This digital version was remastered by Denver's own musical genius, Nathan Arnett. We all have him to thank for this. This album has the original version of I Cried Like A Silly Boy on it, along with the original lyrics if anyone is curious. It also has the original and best version of the best song I've ever written, Satellites.
It also has two of Tom Sprenkle's coolest songs on it, Asteroids and Baby in A Blender. His new band, Fasters is really great.
This recording is now dedicated to Susan Gibson for obvious reasons.
I hope you enjoy it and if you can download it to something that you can listen to over and over and at really high volumes, like your car. Its best that way.
