lyrics

The sun us coming. Run and hide.
You've got to pull your shutters, draw your blinds
Hey man, hey listen I could use a ride, you know that I can't stay here.

Got to shake those bones, you've got to ring that bell
you got to baby you know
take this sack of magic beans and dream yourself a little dream
The whole world smells like gasoline
but you'll get used to it babe. It's not as bad as it seems.
So the angels work on our machines.
Don't mix that lysol with chlorine
You got to edit, splice, and cut the scene
You got to squeeze into those tight blue jeans

The ocean's deep, the ocean's wide.
The moon is pulling back the tide.
Maybe I felt a little dark inside, but I never tried to be insincere

You've got to stomp the muddy earth until it bleeds

It's some kind of amphetamine
that makes your skin feel vaguely unclean
You got to dive me off in a limousine while we fill our blood up with nicotine
Because the're no antidote and there's not vaccine
and no one's ever ever going to intervine.
You've got to squeeze into those tight blue jeans.

But baby if I should slip and fall
you know where I keep the demerol
so light me up one more menthol if it's just a party after all

The Gomorrans Oakland, California

Catharsis is a religious experience. Sin is universal. The Gomorrans seek to blend the two into a transcendent soul happening. Seeing the them is like smoking a $50 cigar that's sealed with the sweat from a Cuban woman's inner thigh, or freebasing powdered absinthe: you'll never be quite the same person. You'll know something the others don't. The Gomorrans tarnish your soul, but in a good way. ... more
