Recorded in the Spring and Summer of 2013 in our ramshackle home full of dust and splinters and various house pets as evidenced by the album picture.  The lizard in the picture has since died.  Have a moment of silence.  We multi-tracked the shit out of everything between Ashley and I (Michael)  - in fact the only track played by anyone else was hand claps by Bret Vovk and the bass line for Beware played by house mate and fellow vagabond river rat George Prescott.  This is our first album, first of many to follow.  Our second album Whore Bomb will be released by late spring early summer of this year of our Lard 2014.

Lyrics:
Well I walked outside that old highway sign
The sky burst open purple and red
I swear to God it wasn't in my head

Just then the wind picked up and scrawled
It's evidence in torn up leaves 
About this time to my amazement 
I turned to what had happened

What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

A driver with a face unseen
Had a soothing voice and quiet mean
Let out his hand from a newly upholstered 8 cylinder

Well I scratched my chin, I stroked my jaw
I looked up to the sky with awe
And I laughed and laughed at the dark
Over what had happened

What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

A praying mantis well he does beg
And spits into his wiry claws
His eyes are motionless green and cold

This I thought as I did unlatch
The car door opened and screamed with rust
About this time the wind
Picked uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppp

Over what had happened
What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

Daddy Can't Eat - from Whore Bomb EP

Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ws3v_LaKfg

Lyrics:
I, I was born
Close to the floor
Close to the floor in the mid-west

Up above my head
Were silver space ships
With the darkest lining

Then for no rhyme and 
For no reason
They landed with their space guns

Aimed right at the eye
Of every
Bureaucratic station

So sail right into the clouds
It has been this way forever
The earth crust tells a tale 
Things have been this way
              forever
AND THEY'VE BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE!

Landing on the White House 
Back yard
Like it was a golf course

'Take me to your leader'
Was what they said
But there was no one standing

So they brought out
All their plagues and 
Dropped their bombs 
We're fleshy tombs within their cook book

So sail right into the clouds
It was been this way forever
The earth crust tells a tale
They have been this way forever
AND THEY'VE BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE!!!!!!!

Alien Invasion by The Doneofits

Video for the original draft of Sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrR2Woei8RI

Lyrics:
The hills and the streets of the town
Are rolling along and you're with me
Laughing and smoking and screaming at the radio
Breathing sighs under those clouds

Sugar bees swimming in your eyes
Black hair pulled back and flowing down
Look to the sky see what we found
At your feet I lay myself down

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

Feeling cold in teh moring chill
When spirits show no mercy on either one of us
Well just reach out and let it pull you right in
Cause I feel it like a twister in my heart

I feel it like the thunder and the rain
I feel it like angelic silence when all is shut off
I feel it like a weight that has set me free
I feel it like a mountain in the glass ice rain

Your hair is the color of all life
And all the joy it brings

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

THE MOTHERS SONG - from Whore Bomb EP

from EP "Whore Bomb"

Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h-O68aPzNk

lyrics:
That lightening in the air
Strikes a mighty short time
Leaves a flash bulb trace

It's then I smell the rain
The valley is a parched leave
Crumbling at its heart

I'm drinking in the stars
Tasting that cool rain
I was so glad when it came
And then it went away

That mystery in my hands
Dissolved in a short time
Flits over mounds of graves

Your senses feel the rain
Just the same as mine
Perhaps we should join hands

Oh I'm drinking in the stars
Tasting that cool rain
I was so glad when it came
Then it went away.

Transmission - from Whore Bomb EP

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGJ7yawOILk&feature=youtube_gdata

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
There's a bat on my shoulder
That cries to the a.m.
As mild as a child he flaps off
To some night filled land

The windows glow yellow
So friendly in their
I'm left with a claw full of phone poles
BEWARE!

The road is a vessel 
The pulse and the drive

See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end 
See what comes up in the end
            (my friend)

All of God's children are swinging 
Out between those dunes
They're led by a series of voices 
From discordanent rooms

The road is a vessel
Dark pulse and dark drive
The road is a vessel 
Dark pulse and dark drive

See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end
                   (my friend)

(then lots of screaming and carrying on)

Grandpa Song - from Er So

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
There's mercy at last
When the skies overcast
And it rains

A furious flood
Heartbeat pounds out its blood
Through my veins

Like an anvil striking 
The core of a spark
Hot cobalt smell in my hair

Best beware!
Best beware

I saw it at last 
When the lightening did flash
On the hill

In that quick light
Were tracks of tears 
Smearing faces in a chill

God fears nothing 
Like I used to fear
And I don't fear anymore

Best beware!
Best beware

Nativity screams
Through the darkest of dreams
To explain

The crowd will sigh
In shock as the wine
Spills and stains

All these years been 
A dog snarling quick
Pulling at the dope like a cross

Best beware!
Best beware

Beware - from Er So

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
See the evening star
Tiz a beauty mark
By the twilight face
Over the interstate

Take my dreams out west
Take from what is best 
Dump it over rooves
Through every scratch and groove
Through every scratch and groove
Through every scratch and groove

Got the radio whispering
Got the radio whispering (oh no)
Got the radio whispering

Wish to take a piece 
Of this moments ease
Stay here for all time
Till minutes break the spine

Bouncing back it seems
We're flooded in new dreams 
And what we could not take
Is drowning in a lake
At the bottom of that lake
At the bottom of that lake

Got the radio whispering
Got the radio whispering (oh no)
Got the radio whispering

I'm the surface of the moon
Craters are my words
Torn into a divot
Made by moving time

And what I cannot rhyme
Will not be remembered 
Will float into the dark
Will become extinct

See the evening star
Tiz a beauty mark
By the twilight face 
Over the interstate
