Drive on down to a dry lake bed Some come to dance, some come to kill Jump all around and shake your head Some come to dance, some come to kill Wiggle all around just like the living dead Climb to the top of the highest tree Some come to dance, some come to kill Jump to the stars and then you’re free Some come to dance, some come to kill Doesn’t matter what you do, you’ve got to be Crawl on back to the cold, cold sun Some come to dance, some come to kill Fill your cup and have some fun Some come to dance, some come to kill We are everything now, we are one

Try it on just for kicks Pull it out of my bag of tricks Can’t say I’m feeling bad Best time I ever had Pearl Moan, can’t go home (3x) Sick and wild, I’ve got to roam Pay the price and laugh at fate Malignant boredom, not quite hate This is my confinement now Change the past, I don’t know how Pearl Moan, can’t go home (3x) Sick and wild, I’ve got to roam
3.
Hound God 01:50
Ain’t nothing but a hound god, watching over the dead (2x) Keep away the hyenas, ‘cause they wanna be fed Sit upon my high mountain, and I look to the West (2x) Gonna purify the corpses, so they look their best Ain’t nothing but a hound god, Lord of the Underworld (2x) See that everybody is correctly embalmed

Said we’re going to Eden, gonna eat the fruit of the vine Said we’re going to Eden, gonna throw away the rind Cross the Universe, now we found our place Call it paradise, this is no real place Said we’re going to Eden, gonna eat the fruit of the vine Said we’re going to Eden, gonna throw away the rind The ground here burns our feet, this cannot be real Poison in a pretty place, this is how we feel Said we’re going to Eden, gonna eat the fruit of the vine Said we’re going to Eden, gonna throw away the rind Now the dream is dead, there will come soft rains This thing that we feel, we are not insane We’re Going to Eden! (8x)

Lost My Mind 02:06
Lost my mind, what did I find? Lost my mind, what did I find? I really lost my mind, what did I find? Restless and I can’t explain Focus on desire and pain Run the circuit of my skull Phantom thoughts I can’t control Lost my mind, what did I find? Lost my mind, what did I find? I really lost my mind, what did I find? Confused and I can’t settle down Wave my arms and jump around Tangled thoughts upon a tree Phantom thoughts won’t let me be

Falling Town 02:22
Spent the night in Falling Town Sticks and stones burned to the ground Lost my mind and ran away, Cold and dark in the light of day Whooaahhh, this is Falling Town Whooaahhh, we are falling down Chronic illness, don’t feel right Strange creatures in the night No one lives here but my kin Tragedy comes home again They all died in that cursed place Lost my mind in outer space The lines are cut and I’m alone Waiting there by the telephone
7.
Holy Jim 02:15
Fifty times the spark of life Went to sleep upon a knife In a room high on a mount In a place that doesn’t count Three of us awoke and then The Great Debate commenced again Go to sleep or walk away Into the blinding light of day In our sad and final dream Dead world and a silent scream Time for us to leave this place Reality we have to face The frail cocoon collapses now No redemption, broken vow A dead world is reborn again And they call him Holy Jim
8.
Sinner 02:25
Listen to the dream I had The Wise Men had all gone mad Walk the highway to the East Salt the ground, a Harvest Feast Oh, they call him a Sinner But you don’t understand Gonna spread a great lesson All across this land They don’t curse the path he took Take no lessons from your book If there’s a wrong, you make amends Revise the song your soul extends All your sins belong to you The sum total of what you do Every fall opens a door When you look for something more
9.
Death Ray 01:47
Got a death ray pointed at you Got a death ray watcha gonna do? (2x) You won’t take me off to space You can’t make me leave this place I am smarter than you know Blast you with my ray then go Got a death ray pointed at you Got a death ray watcha gonna do? (2x) Death sound will be your defeat You will crumple at my feet Wish you never came for me When you writhe in agony Got a Death Ray!(8x)
10.
Separation 01:49
Together for a million years Time is past, shed no tears Cleave the species into two Someone tried to warn you Separation! Begin again (2x) We are all animals But some of us reversed the fall Some are cattle, some divine Nothing will erase the line Separation! Begin again (2x) Walk upon the world you own Someone else will pay the loan Look into a stranger’s eyes Something here had to die
11.
New Machine 01:41
You won’t let me down again, I don’t care if it’s a sin Counting on you like I said, counting on you like I said You won’t get away from me, ‘cause our love is meant to be Counting on you like I said, counting on you like I said 1, 2, 3 YOU’RE DEAD! (3X) Now I got a new machine, I’m not gonna make a scene Gonna pay just like I said, gonna pay just like I said Now I got a new machine, fix my problems like a dream Gonna pay just like I said, gonna pay just like I said 1, 2, 3 YOU’RE DEAD! (3X) One down now it’s your turn, now it’s time for you to learn Time is over like I said, time is over like I said Come closer now it’s your turn, now it’s time for you to learn Time is over like I said, time is over like I said 1, 2, 3 YOU’RE DEAD! (3X)

Mammal Me 01:47
Mammal me in my den Got to leave and forage again Make it back and hunker down Fellow creatures gather around Mammal me must stay warm In my hole, against the storm Waiting for the wind and sun Time to walk and then to run Mammal me cannot explain Mysteries of joy and pain Riddles in the burning sky Shine on me, I don’t know why Can you hear the call? We are mammals all Pride before the fall, we are mammals all

about

Long Beach, California’s long-running garage punk oddballs the Thingz return with 13 tracks of rock and rumble, for your enjoyment and edification.

More songs about bodily-kinetic duality, indolent and insolent desperation, howling at hyenas, escaping into space, synaptic breakdown, falling down, waking up at your own funeral, making mistakes so you can learn from them, foiled alien abductions, genetic manipulation, novel uses of technology, feeling warm-blooded, and going nuts in the end anyway.
