Dawn of the Red

Well I love the way that you scream
After all you’re just a man
Well it lurks thru the waste, more mute than the moon’s face
The man’s skull still smoking, he yelled “Hey can you hear me”
I Can Dig I Can Dig I Can Dig I Can Dig Oh Yeah
And this is what I hear-
It still beats, it still beats, it stills beats
Deep in ground…
Dawn of the Red (still beats)
Will you listen to the serpents, such music they make
In my garden, the whips oh the whips bring delight
Well it put on the man’s face
And felt its three hearts race
Like a leper in a funhouse
The thing shrieked unholy
I Can Dig I Can Dig I Can Dig I Can Dig Oh Yeah
And this is what I hear-
It still beats, it still beats, it stills beats
Deep in ground
Dawn of the Red (still beats)

All That's Solid

Whatcha gonna tell me now
All I say is brother how
Are you going to say it's bad
Guess you can't see that I’m glad
Were you going to send me there
Doubt you'll ever find me there
And even though I lost my mind
And everywhere I get a stare
Can you really say you tried
All I say is brother why
Will you say when did it go
Guess I couldn't see that it showed
Would you say to me I'm wrong
Doubt you'll ever find me wrong
And even though I lost my mind
And everywhere I get a stare
O now brother why

Queenie Pie

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, cause the melody is bringing me down
Keep yourself from sobbing drunken tears, catch a feeling that you’re comin around
Too late for money but they’re shaking their bills, nothing comes on easy like your white heels
You take pleasure in pulling their trigger but now’s my time where I say
Funny your reasons for dancing that way are the same exact feelings on why I couldn’t stay
There’s something to it, you swear it’s your case, it’s the deepest bottom feeling
When I look, when I look: into your
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, cause the melody is bringing me down
Keep yourself from sobbing drunken tears, catch a feeling that you’re comin around
Down on Broadway, the witching hour, one-armed bandits scoop up all your will to power
So she takes her face off & goes to Vesuvio, the only real father that she ever
I need darkness as much as I need light, she declares upon indulging with all those in the night
There’s something in it, she swears it’s her place, it’s the deepest bottom feeling
When I look, when I look: into her…
When I see you up there on that brass rail, all I can see: a tale that will not fail
A nocturnal vision, a denizen of the night, she moves in praise of darkness under the howl of city lights
So trip it as you go, girl- on that light fantastic toe, girl. The Gold Room that surrounds you is the only home you did know
And there’s something for it, they will try to replace It’s the deepest bottom feeling
When we all look, we all look: up to her face
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, cause the melody is bringing me down
Keep yourself from sobbing drunken tears, catch a feeling that you’re comin around

West Coast

Your love, your love, love
Down on the West coast, they got a saying
"If you're not drinking, then you're not playing"
But you've got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West coast, I get this feeling like
It all could happen, that's why I'm leaving
You for the moment, you for the moment
Boy Blue, yeah, you
You're falling hard, I push away, I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet, I'm alive, I'm a lush
Your love, your love, your love
I can see my baby swinging
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swaying
He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby,
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
Down on the West coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons
And you've got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West coast, they love their movies
Their golden gods and Rock 'n' Roll groupies
And you've got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
You push it hard, I pull away, I'm feeling hotter than fire
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that much higher
Te deseo, cariño, boy, it's you I desire
Your love, your love, my love
I can see my baby swinging
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swaying
He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
I can see my baby swinging
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swaying
He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love

I'm Shining Thru

Said the fate-man to the gate-man, I’m shining thru
So there you have it, then you’ll lose it. It’s the things that we do
Whatever limits us, we call fate. But only you can do you
Where’s the wonder, see it in the slumber. Cause I’m shining thru
So there you have it, you can choose it. Overcome we shall do
And even limits have their limitations. So I’m shining thru
I went dancing by the road
and I’ll be damned didn’t feel my soul.
I searched for messages from the beyond, in the emanation of Albion.
So I entered the door of the tuning-fork tongues
and I’ll be damned didn’t see a soul
I went searching for a mate and in the end can it be fate

Look at you there with the wind in your hair- are you cool?
Truth well told your pose shows signs of sold- are you sure?
An eastern shakedown, look out now defenders not found- were you true, are you true?
Look at me here found in the footlights no mirror- ain’t that strange
Clockless time moans and says the house ain't a home- ain’t it weird
So look at you there with the wind in your hair- are you cool? (sure hope you’re cool)


I wanna know now
I wanna know now
Why can't you see me
I wanna know now
I wanna feel me
I wanna feel me
Why can’t you show me
I wanna feel me

Vinyl coming 2023!
Davis IL recommends:
No Dreams of Anything
by Coolhand Jax
Nobody does the 1-man act like CHJ. Writes/records/mixes some of the dreamiest ear worms ever with healthy dose of guitar histrionics. Highly recommended!
go to album
One of the best lifers from the LA/Joshua Tree music ecosystem. Can write a helluva hook and design a helluva album cover in 1 swoop. Matt's fuzzed out sensibilities are what America needs rn!
go to album
Nobody does original psych dance rock quite like the homegirl Cecilia. Familiarize yourself with her pop gold output ASAP. Plus check GT's remix of yours truly ?
