Existentialism Run Amok (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Ticks, talks, bricks, blocks, up-starts sum minions of a system under crack, pots, star, lords torn, dolls, glass domes, and pigeons signing a petition to be freed from existentialism run amok Bad, phone, throw, stone, step, back sum minions of a system under crack, pots existentialism run amok

The Cages Are Ugly (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) A bad television is talking so loud making me dizzy with sound design yanking my chain and telling me when to feel and how to feel No remedy for insomnia flipping a channel hysteria picking a tickle of all left to be The cages are ugly oh the creatures are lively though its such a dilemma I know return to the wilder the wildest A bad television is talking so loud making me feel so misaligned tugging the boat and calling the secret code, word Affirmative the heretics planted a root and many trees staking a claim on all left to be The cages are ugly oh the creatures are lively though its such a dilemma I know return to the wilder the wildest

Hey Now 04:27
Hey Now (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Hey now, our time has gone astray and mommy told lies through her teeth stupid callous lies So long, been gone too long to stay see I'm on a permanent impermanence holiday love it, think, true thick and thin a ghost with angel wings Funny yes time is funny the central core, life buries me and life buries you Pipers are calling us through ride it, wind, blows to bring you home welcome home
4.
Paper, Scissors and Rock (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Paper, scissors and rock that's how we should fight every war
5.
Pretty Comanches (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Pretty comanches at the station holding tickets to a flatland jamboree decked up in color in presence and valor and everything best on the trim Some curious invaders demanding a recount and refusing to lend an ear it's all show Paper in pocket impala velour and the perfume of prosperity oasis to sell in the desert property of pretty comanches Lenses partitions and rendering missions its cooler It's alright And some curious concessions are made in the wake of a tower gone overboard and furious processions protesting the prices of precious and other kinds of bore Lenses partitions and rendering missions its cooler It's alright

For a Minute 04:17
For a Minute (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) I went downstairs and I saw it I pretended not to notice it then went outside forgotten now snow, towns Crazy like a loony brother that I used to know a long long time ago Eyes seem to trample over moss and dew lashes washes red and green, a pleasant dream perfectly happy, for a minute And I remember it oh so well Flights so fancy yeah, above the ridge just enough illumination to make out smells of the city far below perfectly happy, for a minute
7.
Drunk Afternoon Dog (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) At first I wasn't sure what to make of it the rattle and the buzzing climbing up a stair to the washing room take a spoon full It turned upon itself and put on quite a show in a stranglehold trick a cold stare dropping pants off to moon after monsoon Conversations, drunk afternoon dog And then I couldn't tell if it came or it went the scuffle and fussing elephants fly in the friendly skies and I like them Laughing out loud when there's no one around Drunk afternoon dog Conversations, drunk afternoon dog
8.
Wounded Flock (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Hisses and heaving a formidable culture traces a picture of the brightest future, a future set to align all the permutations came through A simple combination of a 1 2 3 a certain fascination gotta learn to breathe got me evaluating and it looks like we're short making incisions on a wounded flock Hisses and heaving a formidable culture traces a picture of the brightest future, a future A simple combination of a 1 2 3 a certain fascination gotta learn to breathe got me evaluating and it looks like we're short making incisions on a wounded rock making incisions on a wounded flock Gotta learn to breathe got me evaluating and it looks like we're short making incisions on a wounded flock

Elevation 03:04
Elevation (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2015) Sticking it on the wall! Traveling at the speed of light looking at the galaxies checking all the comets as they rush on by Much like, attention deficit bracing for elevation Sticking it on the wall! Laughing cos it never looked like this before when I would see it then to the shores of a cosmic ocean of dust Much like, something derelict tensions reeling you on Sticking it on the wall! Little alien fairies are the size of everest and they fly on wings of crystal air nobody understands it and this is something i own Hey, fishing on a somber sun you feel lowly low Sticking it on the wall!

about

A blend of affected machine music and 3 multi-instrumentalists walk into a bar, the bartender looks at them and says, I bet y’all play music! Drinks are on the house if you play music, get on up there and trip us out! Affected machine music looks at the 3 multi-instrumentalists, they nod and head to the stage. Bartender, a bottle of red wine and 3 glasses if you please. Affected machine music and the 3 multi-instrumentalists kick into Existentialism Run Amok, one of the drooped over drunks at the bar lifts his head as the 3 sing the twisted story, hey! I know this song! The drunk cries out in a heavy french accent. Isn’t that Jean Paul Sartre at the bar? One of the multi-instrumentalists asks, the band laughs… and pigeons, signing a petition to be freed from…. A group of sexy insomniac witches get up and dance as the diamond-like rock kicks up a notch, all agree, cages are ugly, return to the wildest. I am a FAT bass! Affected machine music seems to say as she throbs and bobs, spawn of heretics, the creatures are lively. Hey now! It happens every time, someone is brought to tears, drunks are particularly susceptible, time is funny, welcome home, always. Smiles and nods as the newly phrased age-old message resonates, sultry paper, scissors and rock is how we should fight. A couple dances and makes out in the shadows, camera zooms in, the pretty comanches decked up in color stop kissing and look at the intruding eye, sorry for staring, it’s alright! Then a fist fight breaks out, the drunken poet against the destitute lout, for fucks sake! Didn’t you hear the band telling you how to fight? The bartender kicks them both out. Perfectly happy for a minute, flights so fancy above the ridge. You boys and electric lady is OK, ready for a fine Pinot Noir from your lovely California? You bet! The bartender brings it over along with a healthy tip jar, salud! What are you boys and machine called? Crow Squawk. Ha ha, Crow Squawk, I like it! Another round! Ah conversations, so hazy, elephants fly in the friendly room barks drunk afternoon dog… can’t really make out who is playing what, but affected machine music and the 3 multi-instrumentalists squawk soul man! The grumpy music critic admits out loud, a strange crow soul with 21st century electronic folk, música sabrosa! Music to lure the wounded flock? His friend asks. Yeah man, a beat to free through incisions, African horn cure, a picture of the brightest future, an elevated future where little alien fairies are the size of Everest, all speech augmented, morphing into a jazz buzz at the end.
