yabadabadap (x8)
in your backyard both of us au naturale
eden aint shit compared to this
we'll pick the lemons from the tree and peel them
they're sour as hell
but it's all the same to us the same to us
baby snakes will greet us as we dig a hole
for composting all our hopes and dreams
slither by and say hello to all our friends
we'll give them all a kiss
for being part of the ECOSYSTEM
yabadap. dabadap.
dabadap. dabadap.
yabadap. dabadap.
dabadap. dabadap.
watch the baby snakes go back inside their holes
watch the lemons decompose while we compose
tralala lala lala lala lala
tralala lala lala lala lala

Song of the Sledge
03:31
|

|
this is the one we call the song of the sledge
listen to the asphalt crumbling beneath it
downtown clowns say we need this conduit
connecting our love to a name on a door on the 23rd floor
LISTEN
CONNECTING (our love)
this is the one we call the song of the sledge
they paved paradise and thought we wouldn't notice
a swing of the ax or a thousand can bring it back you know
just pick up a pickax and laugh
LISTENING
(you know) CONNECTING (our love)
asphalt is no one's fault i guess
blaming it on monkeys doesn't seem fair
aren't we supposed to climb trees anyway?
swing from the branches, grab a snack along the way?
you see i just think we should get more exercise, dear
didn't you hear that program on npr?
a nice man said the more we move the healthier we are
monkeys prefer the jungle to the car
this is the one we call the song of the sledge
we're getting choked up while we choke on smog
take a piece of rubble to that queen down the street
she'll build a castle on the hill and dedicate it to us.
IT'S ALL PART OF THE ARRANGEMENT

you will be a meal someday
for a worm
it may seem sad but we want it this way
it may seem sad but it's really ok
you will be completely plucked
for a rose
it may seem sad but we want it this way
it may seem sad but it's happy and gay
you will be a meal someday
for a worm (DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS)
it may seem sad but we want it this way
it may seem sad but it's really ok
you will be completely plucked
for a rose (YOUR BONES WILL MAKE IT GROW)
it may seem sad but we want it this way
it may seem sad but it's happy and gay (GAY)

Green Means
08:27
|

|
no one ever told us that the world is really green
now we have to figure out what green means
we sit in front of silver apples
never leave for long
tethered to this siren song that's stringing us along
someone must think it's really useful to turn our love to bits
the tiniest bites from an apple give us sugar to remit
the snake's all grown up now
old enough to be your dad
we think it's finally time to disgorge the apple or stay mad
or maybe we should escalate and make a horny date with bytes
starving monkeys shall survive on https
sssssql elementary reasoning tells us what we need to know
remember we're just nature or rely on disk i/o
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow tall tall tall
i sat down for a chat with donna the other day
and she said "if you think about it we're all part machine"
and i said "no not really donna"
but she said YES
cybernetic beings
connecting
organizing
exchanging
so I said "does that make us really free? we think we're free"
as katie might say
sever the datalink and wither and die
wander around all deadeyed
try to remember what it once was like
when you could go hours with no data at all
ah but everything is data if you recall
a flock of birds
a murmuration
diffuse collective intelligence
they do it without any additional hardware peripherals
a fluid exchange of information
and we know exactly how it works
and yet we insist on assembling and inventing
when we could be growing. evolving
assembling. inventing
when we could be growing. evolving
(YOUR DOG'S REALLY CUTE DONNA)
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow (tall tall tall)
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
under the green, under the green, under the green, under the green
that's where we'll find the bean, find the bean, find the bean
watch it sprout and grow (tall tall tall)

supported by 11 fans who also own “Zantedeschia”
Meticulously constructed soundtrack for all of your after-hours subterranean wanderings. Alternates with ease between the comforting glow of nighttime storefronts and disquieting 3rd shift cadence from the factories down by the waterfront. So rare that motorik actually feels like an odyssey, which makes this exceptional indeed.

The Nightmare Network
by Third Eye Mutilation
supported by 11 fans who also own “Zantedeschia”
One of those rare albums that makes electronica sound ancient, something that only a few artists do right (another example would be Meemo Comma's excellent work). This is the music a postindustrial society would make using obsolete & forgotten technology. The percussion work sets it apart. Tense, dystopian and highly recommended.
