When the bombs hit,
The lightning struck, and the ash blocked out the sun,
The Devil rode out the gates of Hell with a turban and a gun,
Ashes, bodies, cinder smoke, a flower, and a girl,
Satan took out his matchbook and set fire to the world.
When the bombs hit,
The clocks all stopped, and the husbands held their wives,
The kids tore down all the mansions,
And the bees destroyed their hives,
History is the news today, and the future's in the past,
The present conditions are bleak, and tomorrow's coming fast.
It's always war, and the winner's never clear,
It's always war, and the loser's never here. (x2)
I'm not a preacher, but I read the gospel. (x4)
"Luce, you've got me thinking, and I've something to say,"
And the Devil said, "It doesn't really matter what you tell me at this point, but you can tell me anyway,"
So I told him, "It's not like us humans will all just go away,"
But the Devil said, "The dinosaurs were here for 60 million years, and then they weren't one day."
In Charlie's words, this record is like travelling "all around the world (and the Mid-west) in just 36 minutes!" He's not kidding. I can't identify half the instruments he used, but they sound great. Kenny Hoffman
I often consult Ryan about my own recordings. Listen to his most recent EP to find out why. The arrangements! The humungous synths! The layers! The songwriting! I couldn't do any of it. Great stuff. Kenny Hoffman
