This is my old band from the eighties. Started with good friends Cindy Brolsma and Lisa Jenio. They are the core of CP but the whole thing was already kaput when this album was finally finished. I had to leave out some songs for legal and artistic problems (borrowed lyrics and at one point I segue into "Hey Jude" (what was I thinking?). I just wanted to play fancy guitar stuff...and I wrote the music first to all of them. I came up with guitar riffs. But they are outshined by the lyrics which were inspired by what I was reading, which was some extreme non fiction about child abuse, satanism, teen suicide, incest and serial killers. All hot topics in the eighties. I guess The Shaggs were an influence but so was the Skeleton Crew albums and Massacre's first. I was into all this extreme stuff but wanted to play off of the graveness of the subject matter with childlike vocals. Soundclick is like my graveyard of my dead old bands. Dave Sardy is to blame for making the record sound so good. I miss him. I was really into playing guitar then. I didn't think about vocal melodies too much. WARNING--These songs are very intense and assaultive and dense. I would consume them in small portions. Don't try to listen to the whole thing at once. As one 'fan' said to me "Music is spiritual and your music is oppressive." Plus we take sudden turns from brutal horrors to humor. Abusive music about abuse...Whatever. Enjoy (?)

Story behind the song
I wrote the music to do all this fancy guitar work and I don't like writing lyrics anyway so Lisa did. (I might be getting them wrong below) Another god and satan sex song. It's getting tiring. I guess later she's being seduced by both god and satan. I like these lyrics.
Lyrics
Child of Satan, Child of God Miscreating. God spelled backwards is dog. Satan is my only date. Woos me with words of hate. Demon baby. Angel spawn. Jesus save me. Jesus gave me my soul. Only god can make a tree. But he could not make me. Go to church. Sing in praise. Of the first. Seven days. I've seen worse passion plays. Pray for me. It's not an easy thing for me to do. On your knees it is the only way. Pray for me. My heart is black. My tongue is rotten too. Satan's sweetheart. Heaven's whore. Tears me apart. Bended knees are all sore. Lord and devil hear my prayer. Find another girl to share. Virgin birth really pays. Won't you please come save my soul today.
