lyrics

The axe plummets from the sky to split fuel for the fire
And the dog is chained outside because he called me a liar
The leader’s been conscripted, now the peasant is in charge
We like to keep our dreams small, so it’s easy to live large

The fire’s almost ready
But who brought the match?

The knife widdle’s down a piece, to split kindling’ for the flame
And the kids all play with gasoline when the water fight gets lame
They climb up the snakes when winning doesn’t matter
But they fall down with the serpents when they slither down the ladders

The fire’s almost ready
But who brought the match?

The hand crumples up the paper that the nation’s use to learn
The world’s present story is best used to burn
The dog finally broke his collar and he pissed all on my walls
Now I eat what I’m told, and always come when I’m called

The fire’s almost ready
But who brought the match?

Our band sings of peculiar youthful enchantments, weird love, and some of the odder aspects of life. Full Electric album due soon ... more
