Gangrene dreams and pink-eyed winks, kiss ourselves sick and drain another drink, the promise and peril of the charmingly feral, our adolescent summer could use another aphrodisiac, here's your aphrodisiac...When you used to buy your baseball cards did you dare chew that wooden gum? As pliable as a popsicle stick, like candle wax without any wick, here's your aphrodisiac, anything to mute your yak, here's your aphrodisiac...Chocolate and oysters with artichoke hearts, a pulsating plan that can't even start, like fireflies in a sun-drenched noon, a whiskey barrel without a saloon, here's your aphrodisiac, anything to mute your yak

Aphrodisiac

Just bought this shirt, I love the Earth
The cows and trees and birds and bees
I'd never hurt, I'd never hurt
That SUV, it's not for me, no, it's my dad's
It makes me mad, it's so damn sad, so damn sad
End hate crime read my sign,
Left to rot in the parking lot
Without a thought, without a thought
Build a home of Styrofoam, 
My SUV kills baby trees
And spreads disease, and spreads disease

A hint of trace of a shadow of a smile...(be with you)
A chameleon that slipped in something vile...(be with you)

Chastity, now that sounds neat
Jesus Christ, he sure seems nice
I'm on my knees, I'm on knees
I'll drink wine, become divine, 
Make me come true and be with you
Give me a sign, give me a sign
Virginity pledged to thee, 
Made me the fool in Sunday School
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
I cast these vows on golden cows
Killed baby lambs on pentagrams
To be with you, to be with you

A hint of trace of a shadow of a smile...(be with you)
A chameleon that slipped in something vile...(be with you)
A hint of trace of a shadow of a smile...(be with you)
I did my time before my trial...(be with you)

Billy Joel

Take everything and divide it by zero
Watch Rome burn down and cackle like Nero
Take X, Y, Z and divide them by zero
Lost beyond lost since I lost my dear Carole
Feral Carole left me sterile
Dumb and blind without apparel
Calculators burn, history texts all burn
I wish I could unlearn all the things I heard
And just watch it burn

Feral Carole Left Me Sterile

Kids these days. It's just a phase. They're all the rage. Kids these days.

You told me you can't live alone
Well, you ain't got choices
You told me you can't breed alone
Well, you ain't got choices

This is not a test,
This is not a drill,
Contol/Alt/Delete
To reboot the thrill
You got no other choices

I know now that you're a Communist
You talk too much in your sleep
But I can't resist those red, red lips
Giggles and guffaws
Hide your true cause
The sweet lies
From my Commie spy

I know you were born a con-artist
You talk too much on the streets
But I can't resist your scandal bliss
Giggles and guffaws
Phony applause 
A slick kiss
From my con-artist

The lights lose their glow, the screen goes blank
The film of our love, thumbs down it's tanked
Our stunt double, burdened with gout
Not sure what this film, or song's all about, all about
And would you steal, steal every scene?
Would our stupid jokes hurt your feeble spleen?
Conundrums of fun

Straight to Video

We're stars on Mars

Poisonous gas and buckets of ice
Earth's become a bore
A new home sounds nice

Stars on Mars

Eiffel Tower EP (2010)
Will Perdue (2013)
The Jane Bryne EP (2014)
The Eugene Sawyer EP (2016)



The band Eiffel Tower was born in 2010 after the trio met while working together at a psych hospital in Chicago. The three quickly honed their live act and gained attention for their epileptic stage presence and catchy, “ear-cocaine” hooks, while their anxious, frenetic sound drew comparisons to The Feelies, XTC and Superchunk.

Thematically, ET’s music explores delusional thinking and coming of age in the cultural landscape of 80′s and 90′s era Chicago, starting with their 2010 eponymous EP. 

In 2013, the band penned the critically-acclaimed “Will Perdue.” which was recognized by Chicagoist as a “staff pick” for album of the year. The band followed with sharp follow-up EPs, “Jane Byrne” (2014) and “Eugene Sawyer” (2016) that furthered the band’s exploration of the themes of hypochondria, attachment, and the cataclysmic hazard posed by the confluence of the MRSA outbreak and trysts at erotic water parks.
