Psychic Lunch Fuckers

"Still Creatures" is the first single off Desmond Jones' upcoming album "Hello, Helou" coming Summer 2019.

I’m out of sight 
I’m out of mind 
If you can’t find me baby, 
I don’t have the time 

Where did it go? 
I don’t know 
If it makes you sad then 
Put on a different show 

Cuz’ we’re all still creatures too 

You know it’s true 
Don’t think there’s 
anything that you can do 

A job’s a job 
A life’s a life 
You’ve gotta 
find the balance 
to make things alright 

Build up to break 
Love just to ache 
Acting like the whole world 
Is ours to take 

Cuz’ we’re all still creatures too 

STOP 
So I can see 
Just how to make all of these 
Chicken Fingies 

They look so good 
Just like they should 
At least they turned out 
The way I thought they would 

Cuz’ we’re all still creatures too

Hello, Helou

Still Creatures

Desmond Jones is a five-piece funk/rock/jazz fusion band originally from East Lansing, MI currently living in Grand Rapids. With original music written to complement the group's sound as a whole, the music is centered around melodic guitar riffs, funky bass lines, groovy drum beats, and smooth saxophone. The group takes influence from Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead, Phish, Charles Mingus, The Band, and Led Zeppelin to name a few. Desmond Jones puts on exciting and high energy shows and is proud to say that each set list and each song is different from show to show. Catch a show in your city!
