Lyrics:

"Groove digging angel 
Light a match 
Throw it on me 
She loves my body 
I love her 
In a faux fur 

Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 

Deep heavy breathing 
Say my name 
Hold me closer 
Push all my buttons 
Pull my hair 
Roll me over 

Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Just because you're with me 
With me now 

Stay gold forever 
Throw a curve 
Take me with you 

Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Turn me on 
I'm ready to go 
Oh,Turn me on 
I'm ready to go"

Just Because

everyone i meet 
has a secret agenda 
(uh huh) 
and we’re still waiting 
on the cultural revolution
(you promised)
it’s all messed up 
this happy year
and my head is filled with
delusions of grandeur

thirteen hours and a beijing payback
it may seem far
but who the hell were you?
i thought i knew
i maybe die
or i learn something new
and so far
you’re no peking

some cash, a gun
a passport and questions
(boys, avenge me)
squeezing all i can
out of this life’s harder lessons
(should i just go back to school?)
i’m out of my depth
and nothing is fine
take it one time 
to the sanity borderline

I get sick of livin' in the city
Everyone's a liar and a thief
If the cancer don't, the tax man's gonna get you
If the women don't, the doctors let you bleed

I don't wanna hang around with you
Don't wanna see you burn
I don't wanna see you turn blue
I wanna see the sun

Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole

Everyone's steppin' on each other
Shootin', snortin', smokin' all they can
I wish the blood was thicker than water
'Cause drinkin' dirty water kills a man

I don't wanna hang around with you
Don't wanna see you burn
I don't wanna see you turn blue
I wanna see the sun

Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole

I get sick of livin' in the city
Everyone's a liar and a thief
If the cancer don't, the tax man's gonna get you
If the women don't, the doctors' let you bleed

Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to curel this hole
Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole

Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to curel this hole
Gimme gimme gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole

Medication (feat. JSun Atoms)

This song started out as an instrumental. After naming it, I knew there must be more to say here. It just took me a while to get it out.

LYRICS

oh you world weary sentimental
stay cold

there’s no need, love for
sticky feelings
stay cold
say so long to those 
fits and shivers
stay cold

boop bah doop (4x)

one day from a 
state of shock
to a vapor lock
you’ll pull through
that’s what they say
we’re not ok

oh you world weary sentimental
stay cold
say so long to those fits and shivers
stay cold
stay cold

Stay Cold (Vocal Version)

This song is a cover of a Peter Gabriel song originally sang as a duet with Kate Bush on his So album. To me, this is one of the most hope-inspiring songs ever written. My duet partner for this track is Jana Cushman from the band Darkswoon. She also played all of the guitars on the recording. We hope you enjoy it and I hope you feel that we did this quite challenging song justice. 

And remember, Don't Give Up! - C

Steppin' Out

This track was originally released in haste near the beginning of the pandemic. I was never happy with the result until now. The arrangement had issues as did the mix. Sometimes it's hard going it alone. Is it better? Worse? Am I crazy? Let me know. - C

Edie Sedgwick

Nite Hike is a dreamy, mega-layered, and stylized post-disco solo project from producer/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Christian Hurd. Known for his previous work with Leading Psychics, Mackintosh, Lookbook, The Prids, Soft Tags, Jennifer Faust, Tuesday Faust, Anya Marina, Templeton, and Howlin' Maggie (just scratching the surface), Hurd has worn arguably the most hats in the biz and most of them are black.

"Celestial, infectious, hypnotic, bittersweet, dreamy, time-bending."
- Alice Teeple (post-punk.com)

"It's hard to remember being THIS entertained while also being genuinely moved by beat and purpose. As charming and extraordinary as one man could possibly be..." 
- Dave Cantrell (Songs From Under The Floorboard XRAY FM)

​File Under: Donna Summers had a baby with David Bowie and they raised them on a steady diet of Kraftwerk.
