Name: World-go-round
Duration: P00H03M35S
Description: We tried this one out in the All Natural Lemon & Lime practice room in 1994, before it was finished. It never made it, but we did play it live at least once at a JB show in 1996. Lyrically, it was my attempt at a Pixies/Frank Black space-themed kind of thing, imagining what it would be like if all gravity was generated by a single motor somewhere, guarded by a custodian.

lyrics

World-go-round

Memory had a dream
locked inside it's shell
and there my did dwell
or to me it seemed

Televation Echnician
please give me the key
so, i can
turn off the Gravity Motor
and start this whole thing all over

and watch the world-go-round
and watch the world-go-round

I'd rather be
Among the Stars
a'floating free
away, oh

to watch the world-go-round
to watch the world-go-round

Honest, I do
I really do
you can come too
leave all your things

I don't know why
I'd rather fly
it seems to me
I'd like to go

and watch the world-go-round
and watch the world-go-round

(1995)
