Christmas is not just a holiday but hands on the clock as our lives tick away marking loved ones lost, new loved ones gained in birth, and the unique Child we celebrate each year.  This is a feast for the ears; the glorious harmonies and rich tapestry of rhythms.

powerful singing . Just like sitting in the front row at your show. love the seasonal adds mates

this has so much drive and energy!!  Love the guitar part & the Middle Eastern feel to percussion (yeah...what's the Middle East got to do with Christmas?)  Vocal harmony is the expected magnificent!

Perfectly imagines and delivered. A real treat. Your voces, as always, sound amazing both together and solo. I must say, Nat, that chanting... thrilling!

The melody is soo wonderful, and vocals and harmonies are lovely!

Plucking and combing through ideas, creating neverending daydreams -- is it artful, or just nonsense?
The imagination runs wild, for most of us; that of a young one runs even wilder.

A plethora of themes streak across this final tune from the first 9 songs of The Hungry Pyknic. Although many of the characters in the song are exclusive to the story (currently unfolding and being written as we speak) comprising Toxic Fever Dreams -- taking place in the mind of a young human being who doesn't quite understand the capabilities of their mental prowess or how to reign it in, whilst they are away from home -- the story concludes such themes pervading all of the songs. Until Toxic Fever Dreams, almost all of the songs' narratives remain inconclusive in their telling, but not their message. However, TFD succeeds in wrapping The Front Nine up in a blanket of surety, but only out of surfeit does this song vindicate disparate and urgent human qualities constantly in states of ebbing and flowing, degeneration and metamorphosis, ever-spinning and never really truly stopping for a moment's notice.
What should one notice? Just ask the Fishmen.


Lyrics:

Hey hey goldfish man
Where is the bright side?
Sonus is king and he's done
Done with his pride.
Drama has gone to sing for
Co-Captain John.
Rosalina DeMayo's song
Took far too long.

Paul says he is Love
This I just shove.
Together in itself
But my mind's on a shelf.
Ohh what a Tangled-up Iron Mountain
Tent I have been.
So much for Hamlet's scene.

Us dancing in The Brushes 
Better luck in the past.
A captain travels there in May
As the Fishmen say 'heyehey'.
I could come with me to the sea
Don't know why...
We all got just a little
A little bit high.

Speckles to sound,
But the Ominous Game can tell.
After the Fame nothing could 
Compare.
As I'm sitting here in
My White Plastic Chair,
I can hear the rain, hear the rain
Here the rain yell and swear.
Hear the rain yell and swear.

Ready to start again
Like Mister School.
Didn't know I Woke upon the
Right Side of the Bed.
Single in strength
Hey Sam, hello hello --
As Cyrus says:
"The Gunman is Here Right Now!"

Some things are better to come!
Some things I'm about to know!
I have her in my room:
Mary's in my room,
And Joe is in the rain.
Joe is in the rain
Joe is in the rain
Better watch whatcha say!

I don't see the Raven 
Anymore.
All I see is 
Castle Mountain Faces.
Hey man, hello hello
See the Spark, Shoot the Lark.
Joe and Mary, look at me
I'm the one you want to be!

This is My dream.
Welcome to My dream.
Oh Toxic Fever Dreams,
Set me Free!

Lyrics:
The young winter beats on my window glass
The frost makes prisms of the sun
The dawn marks one year since Christmas last
Kinsmen & friends lost and won

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Evergreen boughs on the mantel lie
Mistletoe waits by the door
Neighbors all bundled, shall soon stop by
Then wassail and ale we will pour

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Christmas reveals all the years that have flown
And the child we all hold in our hearts
That quiets the tears from the seeds we have sown
And returns us to where it all starts

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold
