about

Casey and I sat down in the Laboratory two days after my mother's death and after a couple glasses of cognac came up with this song. It's not quite what I pictured writing after such an event. Between that day and the day I finally began tracking the drum programming and guitars for it, the album THE LAST GOOD HIGH was released. I guess associating this song with my mother's passing made me set it aside for a spell. When I came back to it I feel it was time to move on with things. I hope this track sets a tone of chaos and vitality for the rest of this record. The last line of the last verse, "we're all humbug; red in tooth and claw" comes from an article in the HAGERSTOWN MAIL from 1836.

lyrics

Tiffany Green
Wrapped inside her rhymin' diamonds
Queen
of the climbin' bustlin' rustlers
Always clean
from the full court presster jesters
In my dreams

Stuck to the wall
Between old Uncle Moses and
Grandma
Saw the evil genius
In us all
We're stuck inside a puzzle-less
jigsaw

And all of that and all of that
All of that screams
All of that and all of that
All of that's me

Cacophony
In my earless whisper
There are three
Statutes I must follow
'til I sleep
And arrange another short
Eternity

And all of that and all of that
All of that screams
All of that and all of that
All of that's me

[solo]

Let's play it all
When we couldn't win and
had to crawl
Up from crimson chaos
into law
We're all humbug
red in tooth and claw

And all of that and all of that
All of that screams
All of that and all of that
All of that's me
And all of that and all of that
All of that screams
All of that and all of that
All of that's me
