lyrics
The look telecasted across your face
This is neither the time nor the venue
The soldiers of Christ poured into the bar
Tried to order whine off the menu
The machine can be repaired
But never upgraded
The plans are lost in the reeds of the Euphrates
Oh John, how come? Oh John, how come?
Remember it's index finger ring and thumb
Lips to ass a slave to class
And the ways of upper management
A necessary step back to underemployment
Stumbled out of the cave half drunk
And looking to fight
Now you're doling out relationship advice
Oh John, how come? Oh John, how come?
Remember it's index finger ring and thumb
Christ as a literary device
Christ as a landmine
Christ as a gouged eye
Christ as a parking fine
Christ as a dancing bear
Christ as a soldier's stare
Christ as a tendon tear
Oh Christ, Oh Christ!
One of my favorite releases I've ever heard via bandcamp. Dan Shaw's influences derive from a similar locale on the musical phylogenic tree as mine. I still listen to it every other month or so. Holistic Wellness
