Another in a series of strange songs we wrote as holiday gifts for family, friends, stray dogs, etc. One of the selections on our current CD, 2000 Years To Christmas.

The world's original virtual pop group. Guaranteed 100% dis-corporate since 1993.

Story behind the song
It's the story...of a man named Perry...who was busy writing three songs of his own. He had four songs, living all together...yet they were all alone. It's kind of a seasonal dirge, but I'm not sure what the season is. Filmed in Sri Lanka using stunt doubles. Electric cucumbers from Mars appear courtesy Hegemonic Records and Worm Farm, Unltd.

Lyrics
White sheets descend on fields I've known Each country mile and block of stone My eyes confound the frosted lens My hand ignores the fossil friend Saints preserved nothing here Their vital signs are dry as bones Take the sacred bones Let's wire them up Get some doctor's books Do you know a Christmas dance? Six weak legs will force themselves Six blind ears will strain to hear electric lights the size of pins They blink and stand on webs of ice Wanderers on sea of coal will converge, the dry old bones Take the sacred bones Let's wire them up Get some doctor's stands Do you know the Christmas waltz? Saints preserved nothing here They make me feel their dry old bones
