then a dragon-tail of smoke coiling across the +room; then there was a darkness; and then the 24-track quietly died. the +animals, cowering in corners, whined, *why didn't you fucking fools jump +ship at the first sign of the storm*? that's when we drifted away from +the jinxed hotel... floating until we found safe harbour in a studio we +could borrow for a few days - one whose own resident dogs, zoro and +ciska, greeted us with idiot grins and the contented looks of drunken +sailors on calm seas. mixing was finished in a kind of delirious +distress at MixArt in notre-dame-de-grace, montréal, autumn 2003. these +lucky thirteen. dieu merci. slgc. *new year's eve* 2003. + +siren's song. instrumental. + +la la la, amerika. amerika is crawling with cops tonight as we put our +fists through the windows of the world i know you're broken and you're +down at the mouth but you're pouting like a punished little girl when +darkness calls night falls oh mother where are the children you've +orphaned all over the Earth we're frightened and sickened and +poverty-stricken and waiting for you to send word when darkness calls +the sky falls we're tired mother and we're poor we're wretched at your +teeming shore we're homeless and tossed by the storm looking for the +light at your golden door when darkness calls night falls. + +flüffy: marching drum, percussion & choir;
