Ruts and Juts is the tenth studio album by the Dragonsail Puppets.

NATURE OF ILLUSION

Now his eye beholds horizon's end
Earth and sky bend before his eye
It's the nature of illusion to entice
Now all the world is melting ice
And sweet confusion

I can see now stirring after centuries
All on its own

Now my eyes are feelers freed from time
They see where beauty has been assigned
They play on dissolution
Dissipation
But all these sensations are more than cloud and mist
More than a sage should be expected to resist
It's the nature of illusion to entice
To hold you while all of life is reaching its conclusions

Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend where horizons end
For it may well be home
Some dream has rolled this stone

Now my eyes hold on to earth and sky
Earth and sky blend before my eyes
It's the nature of illusion to soothe you
Smooth edges slip through

Now my eyes are feelers freed from time
New worlds to host when the lids are closed
It's the nature of confusion to fall away
In the light of a new day

It's the nature of illusion to hold you while all of life is reaching
While all of life is slipping through

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
