Elements 04:24
Elements We're all made mostly of water We're a way that it moves around And we’re inventive and make containers and drill for it underground We drink it and it moves through us And it falls from above Without it we whither The same is true of love Breathe the air deeply  feel the cool breeze on your face  it is all around you  it is every place  when you're awake or you are sleeping  when push comes to shove  without it we whither  the same is true of love We’re all part of our mother  we are all made of earth  when we die we lay in it  the place of our birth  the seeds we plant in it  We are nourished by the fruits of  without it we whither  the same is true of love We're all part of the fire  We use to keep ourselves warm  it's only desire  to consume and transform  The flame inside everybody  in the sun up above  without it we whither  the same is true of love

Viruses 05:23
Viruses- The compulsion to colonize humans didn't realize Was hardwired in to help the viruses win We started to congregate built tribe into city state All hard wired in to help the viruses win We moved from place to place Expanding the human race We moved into Europe and some grew bored of it Crossed the sea to the land of the free To subjugate it  to kill and to take it All hard wired in hard wired in to help the viruses win  viruses win The viruses win  the viruses win Devouring all of life,pestilence,war,famine,strife hard wired in to help the viruses win Cutting down all the trees polluting all the Seas  all hardwired in.... Seeding the skies ,chemtrails, green house gases rise A hole in the atmosphere everything we hold dear Is spread all around and burned to the ground It's hard wired in to help the viruses win All hard wired in hard wired in to help the viruses win  viruses win The viruses win  the viruses win We head into deep space seek a habitable place It's hard wired in to help the viruses win We go further and deeper we are the keepers It's hard wired in to help the viruses win We left behind our cars now we are passing Mars The farther out we go the more that they grow We're in control we trust, but the joke is on Us It's hard wired in  to help the viruses win Hard wired in Hard wired in to help the viruses win Viruses win

Trip around the Sun- Lay down my shovel  doesn't matter rain or snow My bones are so weary I've got nowhere left to go There's so much left to do But I guess it will be done That's as far as I'm going On this trip around the sun Your heart may be broken And you may give into fear Or witness destruction Of everything you hold dear If you find that your body and your mind are breaking down Lay down your burdens call your friends to gather round There's a time that's for living and a time for dying too There's a time for battle and for when the fightings through There's a time to give in when There's nowhere left to run That's as far as I'm going on this trip around the sun World keep on spinning The seasons they do change Reach for the things that Always seem just out of range As another chapter closes It doesn't mean it's done That's as far as I'm going on this trip around the sun. That's as far as I'm going on this trip around the sun.

about

Groovy Wallpaper instrumentation is enough to evoke the idea of a modern chamber orchestra. Featuring Vocals, Cello, Mandolin, Banjo, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Hand Percussion, and Typewriter.
All performed by Skip vonKuske (Portland Cello Project) and Don Henson (Sneakin’ Out).
For their new album “After Thought” they recruited friends
David Langenes (Karaoke From Hell, Love Gigantic) Guitar
Rob Wynia (Floater) Bass
Paul Brainard Pedal Steel to enhance the material.
Recorded by John Neff at the Lab, Rob Stroup at 8 Ball studios, and mixed by Larry Crane at Jackpot, it features recordings dating back years. A psychedelic journey of songs both instrumental and lyric, the seven song album also includes bonus instrumental versions of the four lyrical songs.
The album is dedicated to Lisa Lepine, their longtime agent and friend who lost her battle to cancer 4 years ago this month.
