Dropped Down

dropped down, got dropped down
you dropped yourself down
stripped off, peeled pieces peeling off
features falling to the ground
crossed arms, to protect not serve
arms stronger holding on
giver what donations you make
you’re getting bigger and bigger by the prices you pay
to you, look how much sweeter you taste
take more take all take those donations you make
go be who you need to be now turn around
I’m not there, I do not stand bare naked in the freezing cold
my coat, it’s hanging over that chair, will you pass it over here
giver, what donations you make
you’re getting bigger and bigger by the prices you pay
to you look how much sweeter you taste
take more take all take those donations you make
I’m just going to stand here and watch you fall
I see that your potential isn't helping at all
potentially doesn’t make the cut
you’re fired, go set yourself on fire
burn down to ashes then let’s go for a walk
then I will reteach you how to talk
you are like cookies and like cake and wine
now you repeat, look you are doing just fine
say you’re a queen and no one holds a light
now you repeat, look you are doing just fine
now you repeat, look you are speaking in time

Kidnapped in the Yukon

dragging my snowshoes across the prairies
I feel the weight of wet clothes on my snowshoes
there’s dead rabbits hanging on my snowshoes and lots of wet clothes
got the ski suit on and it’s neon it’s a one piece with a pom pom on the top
ski goggles gleaming like your teeth that are beaming
I can see them through the storm
you’re a pelican with a doormat in your mouth
you’re a kitten with a dartboard on your back
you are creasing until you leave
you’re a devil in a waterbed, your eyeliner is frostbite
it’s a tow truck pull, nail scratches plow the road
leaving gashes for the wolves to hide their wool
they are heaving until they bleed
skin that’s red turning a shade of purple
the pitch black breathes while packing the parcel down
steeping until it leaks
you’re a devil in a waterbed, your eyeliner is frostbite

Bird That Breaks

I am a rodeo my gloves are peeling
I got them trampling I got them teething
we hang from dull rope we hang from rope that breaks
counting our pieces, they’re on the rec room floor
we choose the roads we hoe, we are the vehicles
I drive a stretcher
medicine, counting
medicine, cough up
medicine, out for
medicine, how come
I don’t need a case
they hide the bird feed, they hide the bird that breaks
we keep our windows closed, we leave the vacuum on
wired my jaw shut just couldn’t help it
daggered the metal pin sharpened through the skeleton
we choose the roads we hoe, we are the vehicles
I drive a stretcher
medicine, counting
medicine, cough up
medicine, out for
medicine, how come
I don’t need a case
a case in case you weren’t counting
no i don’t need, a case in case

They're So Sharp

drop your mask off on the second floor
leave your designer at the door
we want to know how you take your coffee
pull the roof off your convertible car
slithering by like some sealed up statues
one by one like dominoes
he falls over then she follows
and I want tickets to the front row
they’re so sharp they’re so lighting they’re so sharp feel them dying
they’re so sharp feel them tightening they’re so sharp
true dancing in the chorus line
move those eyes around until they fall like dimes
silver glances shifting looks hail down
feel the pulse of those five fingers
tapping hard on the chalkboard
learn your lesson, keep it in
what do you think we’re working for
they’re so sharp they’re so lighting they’re so sharp feel them dying
you’re the drive, you’re the tiger, get in line
true, dancing in the chorus line
move those eyes around until they fall like dimes
silver glances shifting looks hail down

eagle and talon Los Angeles, California
LA-based experimental rock duo Eagle and Talon have been confusing people since their formation. Splicing angular guitars and intricate rhythms with casio and scraps of musical theater, Kim and Alice Talon forge a sound that makes you wonder whether you’re being pet by a kitten or mauled by a lynx. ... more

This is Andrew Jefford's amazing band. Andrew is HAJ who played many things on THRACIAN and is one of our favorite guitar players in the whole world.
