Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
Recorded in 1998 during "The Fabric Of The Myth" sessions. a folky jam, check out the harmonica!!! I have always said that I'm an anarchist punk rocker with the tattered soul of a folk singer. I was feeling very Bob Dylan when I recorded this track!!! I recorded this during "The Fabric Of The Myth" sessions - which consisted of a three day bender on dex that culminated in 3 ninety minute cassette tapes full of improv recordings.
Lyrics
well worn shoes & a little bit-o-blues and I don't really feel that good, it's a burnt out Saturday and a smile is only half a laugh away, eating candy corn 'cause I'm afraid of growing older, nothing ever seems to stay the same, wrinkled dollar bills and pocket lint, problems that never seem to fade away... laces tied in knots, cigarettes left as ashes and butts, & I'm laughing at myself again.... clothes are only cloth, eaten up by moths & there's nowhere to hide my smile, can't seem to wash away, the color and the fade, the fad that never was my style, dirty silver ware and pink lemonade, I'm feeling like I did once a time far away, yeah I'm slipping in and out of the spider's water spout, feeling like a beautiful bride, yeah yeah so where do I go to clean my dirty clothes? where do I go to clean my dirty clothes? where do I go to clean my dirty clothes? all I need is a nickel, or a solitary dime....
