Wisdoms End Very good friend of mine flinged this into my face and since I started listening, this record was on loop the entire day, which doesn´t happen that often to me.

Vintage psydelic rock´n roll doesn´t do justice to what is happening here. This is more. This is wild. Favorite track: Barbarians.

poroeldo Very refreshing sound. Every song has a catchy loop that stays in your head all day. Can't wait to see them performing live.

Lost Kids 04:06
You gotta weigh down your body Gotta force-feed your soul Breathe under water Stay in control Gotta weigh down your body Force-feed your soul Stay under the radar and let it all roll Weigh down your body, yeah Move it Gonna have to go prove it Running around with the Lost Kids Skipping beats on a loose grid Leave your gun on the table Feeling high but unstable Keep your eye on the exit Shaking hands with the Lost Kids Shake my hand Shake my hand People love riddles People love games So give them some puzzles
Give them false names So let’s do some riddles
 Let’s play some games 
Slide down the middle and side-track your brain Lay down that puzzle, yeah Move it Gonna have to go prove it Running around with the Lost Kids Skipping beats on a loose grid Leave your gun on the table Feeling high but unstable Keep your eye on the exit Shaking hands with the Lost Kids
 Shake my hand Shake my hand

Ghost Pilot 03:49
Ghost pilot on my radio coming from a long time ago Says with a cold steely voice You ain’t got no choice Ghost pilot coming for me flying just above the trees In a burned out B-52 flying on voodoo A silhouette in the pale moonlight Ghost Pilot in the air tonight Sure feels like suicide Ghost Pilot having some fun in a fighter plane from World War One She took down two hundred good men Now she flies again A silhouette in the pale moonlight Ghost Pilot in the air tonight Like a bird of prey in flight Sure feels like suicide She’s got a strange kinda sex appeal her cold white hands upon the wheel how she makes the motors cry sending echoes through the night I feel my heart pumping in my chest Ghost Pilot won’t give me no rest Won’t you pick me up tomorrow night I feel like suicide

Easy Prey 03:50
Love my anyway that you want to Use me like the way that you do Oh I see the vultures are circling In the sky above the avenue Drive me like a second hand Honda play me like a deck of dirty cards Drink me like the cheapest tequila at happy hour in a back alley bar I’m a bad luck sitting duck Put me out of misery Hey, don’t I look like easy prey Why dont’ you come and have your way with me Everyday is a perfect day Hey hey hey Rip me like an old movie poster from your bedroom wall Oh I hear that black dog a-barkin’ I can hear it breathing all down the hall Strip me from my feathers baby hang me in the garden shed Let me snooze a little bit longer Bring me breakfast in my deathbed I’m a bad luck sitting duck Put me out of misery Hey, don’t I look like easy prey Why dont’ you come and have your way with me Everyday is a perfect day Hey hey hey

Kerosene 03:20
Tell me what you're doing now before things get out of hand I've got a strange way of handling things I thought by now you'd understand Tell me what you're thinking now You know how things work in my head As soon as you've passed the corner babe My mind is telling me our love is dead Out of reach of sunbeams I need some fire If you know what I mean Do you know what I mean You are my kerosine You evasive queen You are my kerosine Seems like forever babe, I've been waiting on my turn But please, please be careful now If you spill on me I'll burn Has it really come to this Have I drifted off too far Is the light that I've been following nothing but a dying star Hopelessly stuck in between gotta get some sparks flying and fuel my machine Fuel my machine You are my kerosine You forbidden dream You are my kerosine A vision serene like Saint Augustine Most beautiful thing I ever seen My Mary Magdalene So deadly and lean My my serpentine Hiding in fields of green Poison in my bloodstream The killer foreseen You are my kerosene

Barbarians 07:46
We get out the way down The way down’s getting easy We get out the way down The way down’s getting good We get out the old town The old bounds weighing heavy We wearin' the leaf crown The way out’s getting ’ good We walk up the hillside The weather’s gettin’ breezy We walk up the hillside In the blazing afternoon We walk until sundown The way up’s gettin’ easy We walk until sundown And sundown’s coming soon Who do you call barbarian Who do you call barbarian now? I’m on the outside On the inside all along Out on the hillside In the city made of stone Out in the dark night In the middle of the day I will take it all away Wake up at sunrise With bright eyed bloody faces Walk under blue skies And it’s understood Head back to the old town And hide away the traces Walk down the hillside & the way down getting good Who do you call barbarian Who do you call barbarian now? I’m on the outside On the inside all along Out on the hillside In the city made of stone Out in the dark night In the middle of the day I will take it all away

Zig Zag 04:19
Hey mr. light man  don't turn on the lights just yet Bonnie came back from the bathroom saying the tapwater is running red   You dance like a getaway car  smoke coming from the wheels Bodies buried ‘neath the dance floor grabbing us by the heels   Back and forth, A to B, I think we can all agree Back and forth, A to B, there will be no escapee   It’s too late to say stop don’t wait for no shoe to drop Daddy ain’t outside to pick you up   Teardrops on the tambourine Bloodstains on the drum machine Stuck inside a dance routine More deadly than I’ve ever seen   Hey Mr. DJ, 
spread that music like a cheap perfume Freddy just got fondled 
by a guy wearing a bear costume   Ah you drink like an old movie star you smile like a deer in headlights  The twins behind the bar whisper nobody gets out alive Back and forth, A to B, I think we can all agree Back and forth, A to B, there will be no escapee   It’s too late to say stop don’t wait for no shoe to drop Daddy ain’t outside to pick you up Teardrops on the tambourine Bloodstains on the drum machine Stuck inside a dance routine More deadly than I’ve ever seen   Zig zag baby, zig zag Zig zag baby, come on Zig zag baby, zig zag Zig zag ‘till you make it back home

Push & Pull 03:47
Hey, won’t you come on over Been waiting ‘round for you Oh, even lonely rovers Need someone to talk to Push & pull, so hard to keep my cool Push & pull, until my cup is full Down on your meadow carpet Floating in the air
 Then with stilletos sharpened 
 You kick me off the stairs Push & pull, so lovely and so cruel Push & pull, until my cup is full I got this itching feeling I need you to scratch for me Will I be giving or steeling Down the escape hatch I flee Eb & flow, from way up to down low Saying yes and no, down the rabbit hole I go I think I’m seeing double It is messing with my eyes I don’t know if I will be in trouble Or I’m off to paradise Push & pull, a savior and a fool
 Push & pull, your sacrificial bull Come on and push it and pull Push it and pull now Yes push it and pull now baby
 Push it and pull 
Push it real good And then you pull me back in Forever by your side But better off alone
 Refuse and abide to make this hell a home Burn & freeze, down on my knees Push & pull, until my cup is full So push it and pull now Push it and pull 
Push it real good And then we do it again So push it and pull You know how to push it real good Push it real, real good And then you pull me back in And then we do it again

The Will 04:04
I got something in my shoe that’s keeping me from walking Maybe a diamond or a stone But I lost the will to leave my chair Got something in my throat That’s keeping me from talking Maybe a cherry or a bone But I’ve lost the will to even care Doctor please, what’s wrong with me? I think I’ve fallen ill Can you give me some pills I’ve lost - I’ve lost - I’ve lost the will Got something in my head that’s keeping me from thinking Maybe a problem or a plan But I’ve lost the will to find out Got someone in my bed makes me wanna go drinking Maybe a foe maybe a friend But I have lost the will to kick her out Doctor please, what’s wrong with me? I think I’ve fallen ill Can you give me some pills I’ve lost - I’ve lost - I’ve lost the will Doctor please, what’s wrong with me? I think I’ve fallen ill Can you give me some pills I’ve lost - I’ve lost - I’ve lost the will

Everybody load up on copper and tin Raise the banner and sails now and jump right in You can write it on a tablet you write it in stone Gonna make some money and bring it on home See how it all comes falling down See how it crumbles to the ground Everybody load up on Diamonds and oil Gonna get my hands dirty in foreign soil Gonna get it on credit Gonna get it on loan Gonna make some money And bring it on home See how it all comes falling down See how it crumbles to the ground Load up on information technology Gonna fuck with your data And biology Gonna get me the numbers Gonna write me some codes As long as I get money I’ll do what I’m told See how it all comes falling down See how it crumbles to the ground
