Let's go to the mountainside
Let's pick up a hairy eye
that's looking at us with such green in its spirit
looking and daring us kids to go near it
We do
Let's go to the mountains high
Let's pick up the hairy eye
and chase the boys with it
and threaten to throw it
they're angry and they're not afraid to show it
They do
and when heaven calls me I
pick up the phone but I’ve
nothing to say except
leave me alone
and when I am lonely
I pick up the phone and I
punch in their number
and just get a tone
we're not often let outside
we scratch at the door and cry
and when we are called we'll be there in a second
and when we're alone we're a force to be reckoned with—us.
When I whisper in your ear you sleep
when I tell you all my dreams you weep
when you look into my face you
suck all the life out of me
our parents have private lives
our peers whisper public lies
and when we go home
there's a table with flowers
and when we go home
they are counting the hours
till bed

Smoothing out his wonky instrumental style, these beefy beats are tastefully paired with twisted jazz n'soul samples. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2014
The experimental rock band's new record is as melodic and inventive as ever, but now with an even more honed sense of play. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2024
