If King Missile and Portishead had a baby at a Cure concert - that's us.
Mayhem Lettuce has been crafting sad, strange, sometimes silly, spoken-word songs from rural Illinois since 1993. We're two beardy dudes raised on King Missile with delusions of Portishead.

Story behind the song
I found a piece of paper with "Cataplasm" written on it. It was my handwriting but I have no idea where it came from or what it means. Something to do with an exploding cat, I'm sure. So I wrote a song about a pretentious beat poet who hates math.
Lyrics
A catastrophic happenstance A hyperbolic pair of pants Like a velvet martini on a hot October morning in Paris... or something I lost my one true love because I wouldn't shave my goatee I'm far too hip, baby! Get outta my way, Daddy-O! I'm awesome and I'm leaving your party (He's awesome and he's totally leaving your party) I'm awesome and I'm gonna go home (He's awesome and he's gonna go home now and sleep) Like a newborn kitten about to burst I don't know what happens next but you, you're gonna be first I remember triangles used to make me laugh But now I think all that geometry jazz is square This hep cat's got no use for math And baby, I just don't even care I'm too smooth for these harsh angles Man, they're so obtuse I'm too cool, baby! I'm way crescent fresh! I'm awesome and I'm leaving your party (He's awesome and he's totally leaving your party) I'm awesome and I'm totally gonna go home (He's awesome and he's gonna go home now and sleep)
