Artist picture
Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root
WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Story behind the song
Think Newtown, then keep on thinking a requiem for the children of Sandy Hook
Lyrics
WRAPPED IN HAPPINESS (requiem for the children) Who comes to rake our souls today ringing fire from the well? We fall like tiny soldiers six, seven years from birth Oh let us feel the earth all wrapped in happiness, wrapped in happiness We're children of the senseless urge Here gathered for all to learn descended from pure indus try down ladders bought to burn Our ashes feed the turf all wrapped in magic dust, wrapped in all of us A pall has settled over those who are still of this world Dwelling on our tragedy while tears can n'er be quelled Oh, let them feel the hurt all wrapped in sadness warped in madness We shall not be your heirs of gold nor cherish the warmth of hearts But by the touch of cold, blue steel other new fires will start Now let us renew the earth all wrapped in happiness wrapped in happiness No time remains, no saving by the bell Lesson One from Hell ... Rapid fire in God's new town Love's children all gunned down Tiny soldiers under the ground So help them move the earth all wrapped in happiness wrapped in happiness
