Percussions – manuel herrera
Electric bass – jose’ delgado
Electric guitar – gunther rholart
Electric piano – sal iurato
Electric organ – jhon mandarino

I Just Threw Up in My Mouth

I just threw up in my mouth 
The blood and the booze I taste them both
My future's heading south 
Straight to the bottom, straight to hell 
I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down 

That bitter taste  in my mouth
Of Big Banks, Big Biz, they hoard all the wealth
It ain't good for my health 
Take you straight to the bottom, straight to hell
The dream going down, down, down
I'm going down 

Salivation
Incorporation
Ingest and Digest
Lease termination 
Regurgitation 
Fuck Obligation 
This Land and my Gut’s got
Acute Ulceration

Refluxing acid in mouth
The burn and those Billionaires building their moats
Shove this tube down my throat
From my gullet to my bottom
Slide it down 
I’m going down down down 
Shit’s going down 

Doctor help me, feel me, heal me
Help me get ready to fly
Such a funny guy

on Vacation 
from these Libations
Abstain Avoid
my Inclinations
try Dedication 
not Medication
I Sort my Stomach
but I can not Save our Nation

I'm holding it in
All this bilious liquid
I won't swallow their sin
They say be grateful and grin
Push up from the bottom, Get Out
Turn it around, round, round
Spread those profits around, round, round
Get those boots off the ground, ground, ground
Grow some love in this town


I just threw up in my mouth  
I just threw up in my mouth  
I just threw up in my mouth 




I Just Threw Up In My Mouth or  Reflections on a Dyspeptic World While Receiving Endoscopy

The recording process was 100% analog with the help of a 4-track cassette recorder. Of course this digital upload can only give a poor impression of the analog magic.

But what is this fookin sound of shit?

too many miles  
stretch between our two kitchens  
i dial slow nine  
let the rotary sigh spin  
your voice arrives  
crackled like warm vinyl  

i mail a smile  
pressed in a small square photo  
sun on my cheek  
pale and a little crooked  
wait till we meet  
i’ll kiss the top of your head  
soft as a stamp  
still tasting envelope glue  
 
do we dare walk  
to the hush at the line’s end?  
i’ll pack cold rice  
into a plaid metal tin  
then we’ll just sit  
breathing the same quiet room  
our strange record  
spins wobbly lullabies  

all i need is  
the tiny bulb on your phone  
glow steady green  
like a night-light for my heart  
miles of black cord  
cannot tangle the small yes  
we keep whispered  
into plastic receivers



So Strange By Lori Yamamoto

If everything is going down
I'd rather be at home.

And that's totally true.
