lyrics

walked into a room it was on fire
and up from the ground or maybe much higher
the walls were aware of the faint sound of a drum

carpenter was wise she was much wiser
skulls from the west couldn't disguise her
i found myself in a wheelchair it was crazy
i felt kind of lazy
just staring at her wall
i felt rather small

she said woah settle down
kick your feet up here
you're much too close to the ground
her walls were dead
day of the dead
she wanted me to be next to her in her dead bed
i said no
i gotta go

pictures on the wall of hearst castle
to leave turned out to be such a big hassle
we sat and played with bones
yeah real bones on the floor
i looked for the door
my friends disappeared
it all became too clear

mark twain comes and mark twain goes and
leaving here and no one knows and
mark twain comes and mark twain goes and
leaving here and no one knows and

Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch

The whole of the lp plays with 1960s pop sounds much like The Ladybug Transistor. I do like The Hangabouts and their care in creating pure pop. krotix
