See their mouthes
Moving like chewing
Silence is littered with words
Eye pollution
Billboard signs
Traffic signals
Words march across the bottom of your TV
A winter's night
From JFK
Parrots escape
They nest around a sport field's lights
Enrolled at Queens University
Keep warm

Sun in NY
03:46
|

Sun gleams on the bridges on the waters around New York
The people out walking their dogs on a leash in the park
Girls in their skirts showing lean clean leg
All the dark jagged buildings bite into the vital blue sky
And the sun revitalizes New York
The son revitalizes New York
The sun sets everything in motion
Exciting molecules in an unseen ocean
The son revitalizes New York
And the man in the rest room stall
He's barely breathing at all
He's toxic (because he's inebriated)
He's waiting (but doesn't know it yet)
For his trip to Saturn
Sun Ra
Signs in the streets saw people lining up this night
Half a million breaths rise into space
For Herve Villechaise is waiting at the portal

They say everybody's got their price
What's yours to sell out yourself?
They say every American's got his price
What's yours to sell out your countrymen?
Saudi
How can you live so high
While your brothers
Live so low?
.....as a sample
.....as a sample

What's so great about being rich and lonely?
Don't you know, money can't buy happiness?
I know you've heard this before
But still you don't believe it
Look at Phil and Ronnie Spector
He enclosed her behind his wall
An afro wearing bald skinny jewish white man
Crazy producer
Living
Out of balance
Money can't buy happiness
Money can't buy happiness
Still you don't believe it

Snow in July Australia

I look for words that mean something
Insect insect insect
Words so strange no one would sing
Insect insect insect
Soft machines that whirl and hum
Fold inside a suitcase
Can you shut your mind off now?
Imagine nothingness
It snows in July Australia
Whale song pings off of sea canyons
It carries off beyond our skies
Into the universe it cries
The sounds of screaming playing kids
On the beach the ocean fizz
It's midnight now in Tel Aviv
Victims' families curse and grieve
These sounds combine in sonic soup
That spills into the universe
That spills into the universe
That spills into the universe
That spills into the universe
That spills into the universe

I found my way past your standard defenses
I found a breach in your social wall
Even while your boyfriend's in you stimulating
Ricochet inside your head
Leave me seed
to
grow
Oh
Every synapse fires and says I was mistaken
To think that I could have you in the conventional way
But alas my dear lass I know
There's only 2 holes I can go to enter you
And I do
Leave my seed
Leave my seed
Leave my seed

Black Love Athens, Georgia
Whirrd! Summer 2001, Georgia, USA. Rich Hudson hadn't been in a band since the demise of Atlanta's "BOB" in '99. Brian Cook left the Atlanta music scene in the mid 90s after bass-ing for Pineal Ventana, The Titanics and Accustat. Taste here the swampy electronic provocations shrouded in humorous pop unpleasantness. But, "Don't be alarmed, It's just a house trying to look like a space ship". ... more
