lyrics
I used to be a better man
Kind of like the Shah of Iran
But life chewed me up and spit me out on a paper plate
Twist of fate
I'm lost in the land of fake smiles
I'm gonna buy myself some crocodiles
I'll name one Betty and the next one Bruce
March in V Formation, jaws hanging loose
Mistakes, superstitions, living rent free in my head
But I get the sense that in the bayou it all might be real instead
Check your hens now count your chickens
Hell, geese is lookin' fingerlickin'
With Bruce on my left, man and Betty on my right
We'll cut up the swamp while we beat back the light
Syllables adding up in a haiku, yeah
Be careful which words you choose
When poetry ain't the best therapy babe
There's cutting swamps in my crocodile skis
Voodoo tooth stirring double vision
Baby it ain't in my head
But I get the sense that if I stick by you
we all might be closer to death
I'm gonna ride, I'm gonna ride, I'm gonna ride right back into the sun
I'm gonna ride, I'm gonna ride, I'm gonna ride right back into the sun
Call me Icarus, Don't you call me son
(Don't call me a son, me a son, me a son, me a son)
Call me Icarus, Don't you call me son
(Don't call me a son, me a son, me a son, me a son)
The Japes of Wrath are the HERALDS of the UP-BEAT and ENERGETIC cries of mid-western
FUNK.
JAPES mercilessly drives off the bland and the bad with their playfully progressive funk and psychedelically vexing jazz.
You'll SWOON for their melodic piano and guitar harmonies. You'll MARVEL at the rhythmic mastery of their bass and drums. A show of STYLE and SKILL like none ever played at any venue!...more
