All right
Hot light
They're always racing
And no one seems to win
Oh are they coming down
Coming down again
All right
The road the road the road
All along that dark light
All along that heart
In the bank of the mind they take him
Take him apart
Hot light
The road the road the road
Keeps rolling on again
No no no no
Oh they're all racing and
No one seems to win
Oh they're racing
No one can win
Yeah
He bit his tongue
He did a flip
He cracked his mind open
What a fit
He's racing
She's got her goggles on
Blood is streaming through that
Heart going strong
Oh they're racing
No one seems to win
Are they're coming down
Oh we can't get away
Comin down again
The road keeps rolling on

On The Fence
02:11
|
|||
|
Hon's not home
So I couldn't get in
But I gotta get into it
Gotta get into it
CHORUS:
Doesn't make sense
Cause I'm on the fence
Flipping and tripping like a gardener aerator
Buggin and thuggin with the lowest common denominator
Hot tail
Buggin and thuggin
Walking it out
All right
CHORUS
Talking trash
You're still talking trash
Well keep talking it
I'm gonna pick up my shit and just get out of here
Yeah I'm on the run
CHORUS
Get out of the pool
Get out of the pool now
I was leaning out the window
I was wearing a real nice top
Where the fuck do you think you're going now
You can't go to church like that
You can't wear that to church
What the fuck is wrong with you?

When ya comin over
When ya comin over
Stacy's comin over
When ya comin over
Seth is comin over
Camille is comin over
When ya comin over
When ya comin over now
Now
There's no cover
I'm in trouble
Above they hover
Spinning blade rumble
I'll strayed too far
Now I've gotta flee
Make this all go away
There's no other
I'm in trouble
There's no cover
Hide in the rubble
Again
They found me again
Again I'm on the run
There's no other
I'm in trouble
I can't recover
When ya comin over
I wan't but I can't
And I'll be
And I want to be an ideal
That I know inside is dead

Fair is fair
So's your underwear
Oh fair is fair
The rocks and the failures of harmony
Oh fair is fair
But who sells you to squares
Fair is fair
Good god they don't know what their goin through
Good god they don't care what they're gonna do
Fair is fair
It's written in the sky
A hundred times an hour
Oh fair is fair
At a hundred miles an hour
Good god
I got up today
Good god
I get outside of it
Good god
Oh, oh they harmonize
Fair is fair
(So's your underwear)
Fair is fair
What do they get of it
Good god what do they get out of it
Fair is fair

One Life Isn't Enough
02:25
|
|||
|
One time is enough
I decided
I decided
One life isn't enough
Dollar bill in a can of gold
Bitten by piranhas in the heart of god
(I decided)
One time you don't
One time is never enough
You can take all that stuff
You can shove it
Into a corn husk
The failure of the animal musk
Is a pheromone they call
The dark bone of the disenthralled
Sugar never tasted this good
Go!
Want
And I could never
Feel enough
Foot first
Touching your mouth to
The sky breaking through
Never knowing where or why you
Can't get higher
Than this
Tonight
Yet

It's a Hit Over There
04:08
|
|||
|
What a fresh man
Out in the sand
It's what we planned
Catch as catch can
I understand
You're big in Japan
Spider's dead
Overhead again
With no bread
Spider sits on my head
I cannot dream
Until he can get away
If you try to sleep
You'll wish it was like
The way it could be
It's a hit over there
Better not believe it
You could deceive me
Once again
The ghost from
The funeral
Sitting in the shade
It's a hit over there
Everything's a hit
Over there it's a hit

Cloak That's Faded
02:06
|
|||
|
Twisted up troubled and toiled
Like coiled little boys and girls
Love is a cloak that's faded
You'll wear in the autumn abnegated baby
When you're mated
I've gotta rectify this
Decision in my life
Love is a cloak that's faded
You'll wear in the autumn abnegated Rory baby
When we're mated
And we're traded
And we're graded
Aggregated
(?)
...undecepted
Misdirected like a well-made
Half-dissected on the table then
Redirected in your armor
When we're mated, half-degraded, traded, faded
I don't want to be graded
Or aggregated
I always wanna be an outlier to your love

In the Long Run
02:29
|
|||
|
In the long run
You can't win
But you still gotta try
In the hindsight of 2020
You can't be half right
And I say it's gotta be
One more time yeah

Stop the car yeah join the parade
You got the chorus I got the verse
Like we did it in the road but in reverse
In a mesh shirt
CHORUS:
Jean-spliced like a
Zydeco psychrist
Baring pistils
Dark Vinyl Crystals
I was high and
I don't want to think about it
Understand it
It's clouded

Form of the Storm
03:07
|

|
The form of the storm
These are the days when we crack the tracks
Some of our friends well they ain't coming back
When no one's there to make the music
Gotta be there to make the music
It took a long time to lose our minds
Choose to lose or lose anyway
Up above what you're thinking of
Few would say... you and me can see
Take a step back, improvise
The words and the feelings
This is what I'm trying to tell you
I guess we gotta do what we can do
Congruent noises, no replacements
Beautiful mistakes and odd arrangements
I wanna tell you all I think I know the
Words. (Up above) A hurricane of
Pain. An infinite loop.
A 2-second world of hums and clicks
We lost it all
Little by little
Brick by brick
Mr Jones and Mr Nelson
I tried to meditate on that
But that's a pretty difficult position
to try and put myself in
Uh-hunh
Can't keep living my life a vagrant
Let's meet up down in the basement
Congruent noises and no replacements
Beautiful mistakes and odd arrangements
I wanna tell you all I think I know the
Words. (Up above) The form of the storm
The sonic worm will burn
No one's there to make the music
No one's there to make the music
No one's there to make the music
No one's there to make the music
Gotta be there to make the music
Gotta be there to make the music

Detachment Twins
02:53
|
|||
|
Detachment theory
Separated at the center of the earth
Detachment twins
Eyes of coal diamond skin
Rearranged chromosomes from within
Detachment twins enter within
Detachment twins
All I want to admit
When they woke up on the
Wrong side of the earth
Inside or outside for what it's worth
You catch scratch it until it hurts
Cause it burns well it burns
Coal eyes and diamond skin
Detachment twins
Separated at the center of the earth
Married in reverse
Detachment twins

Henry the Flying Sailor
03:17
|
|||
|
Henry was a sailor
But he wasn't very good
Oh Henry though that he could swim
But he could fly
Henry only thought of the sky
In its wondrous shadow of the night
I can almost hear him
(Open your eyes)
Flap his arms
(Open your ears)
Flap flappin away
Henry
And I don't know why
They ever let me try
Go!
Henry the flying sailor
Flap flappin away
You could die a thousand times
You'll only get away
Gotta get away
Flap flappin away
Oh Henry I hate to see you go
(Why don't you stay Henry?)

Cold Hartz
03:21
|
|||
|
Cold hartz will fall
Oh the hartz will fall
Everyone gets old
Old minds will tell
Won't tell it well
Oh oh oh oh
You can't trust a kangaroo
You'll never know just what he'll do
Old beef can't run
What can be done
Oh oh oh oh
Hoppin around again
In a kangaroo
What can you do

Beef Sharp
03:21
|

|
Beef sharp
That's how I like it
Beef heart
That's how you'll take it
Beef sharp
That's how I like it
Beef in my heart
That's how you'll take it
Hold my hand
Hold me down
I could win
But you're my heart
Beef in my life
I treat it like an ex-wife
I don't know where they get it
I don't care where she goes at night
I say beef put a hole in my heart
That's how I'll take it

Oldest Friend's Shirt
02:54
|
|||
|
She wore her hems out the story
But they love him
Oh there's never a moral to the story
The bats just ran out
I don't wanna have to shave my arm
After the surgery
The bats just ran out again
Oh-ho-ho
I could think of many reason why
They don't serve freeze pops
On a Friday night in June
At the diner where we met
We saw those cops
And they said kids
We make a cute couple
Don't you
Yeah
Yeah you do
Oh-ho-ho
Oh you don't wanna fall in
Do you now
Do you now

Lemon Thunder Seattle, Washington
All of these songs began with an improvised single take. We recorded many hours worth of weirdo songs, chose the best, and
assembled a Frankenstein's monster of live and dead recording techniques by mutating the arrangements, and enhancing them with cybernetic overdubs. The composition process torn asunder, this is the music of Lemon Thunder.
-- Brandon MacInnis and Jesse Reklaw
