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
Another song written to play fancy guitar parts. And at this point I was letting Lisa write lyrics after coming up with the basic idea (joke). And I once "stuck my penis through the eyehole of a mask." This song still makes me laugh.
Lyrics
He stuck his penis through the eyehole of a mask. It seemed short sighted but I didn't think to ask. Where are you going? Can I meet you after class? What are you deaf or something? Is that a redwood tree or are you just happy to see me? Is that a telephone pole or are you just happy to see me? Is that a Lear Jet? Is that a corn cob? Don't wait up for me. This is going to take a long time. And I wouldn't wait for you. Well, maybe fifteen minutes. He stuck his tongue tip to a frozen metal fence. I couldn't get a look so I pulled down his pants. Where are you going? May I please have the next dance? What are you, blind or something? Oh, is that a redwood tree...Missle Silo,...Flagpole...Light house. He stuck his fingers into many cherry pies. He's got a lot of dough but he can't make it rise. Where are you going with your head between your thighs. Evergreen? Eifel Tower?
