BANANA ALLELUIA, KNOWsutra BURLESQUE is a cheeky little psychedelic waltz EPx5, made of dystopian jazz-folk wisdom, strings plucking, honest sharing, and a few different shades of knowing—from hushed confession to playful rebellion—weaving cello sarcasm, velvety banjo, and quirky philosophy into a swingy truth-telling cabaret… 

Think Bertrand Russell meets Tom Waits backstage at a burlesque circus run by Nina Simone, acoustic mischief that pairs absurdly with clarity, with an open heart and a side of side-eye. :)

[Intro]
In a capitalist world gone bananas,
What do you know is true, woohoo?
Whatever that may be, oh my,
Don’t you wanna know why?

[Verse 1]
It’s as if unapologetic,
Rhymed with something so kinetic,
Psychedelic magic in the air,
Eeek! Hahaha, woohoo, if you dare!

[Chorus]
Oh ya, what I’m telling ya,
You gotta wonder why,
To learn what keeps us high,
And alleluia, reach the sky!

[Verse 2]
The new winners’ grind,
Acting like bamboozlers, blind,
So-called doers in disguise,
Ducking pricks, oh my, what lies!

[Chorus]
Oh ya, what I’m telling ya,
You gotta wonder why,
To learn what keeps us high,
And alleluia, reach the sky!

[Outro]
Oh please, tell me you know why?
Why, oh why? Oh my, oh my!
You gotta ask WHY … 
in a capitalist world gone bananas 🍌
