Don't adjust your eyes Don't trust your mind You've never seen the world behind The parasites and beasts That pull the visions From your viens And don't walk away Don't walk away Who's turn to kick the Jews again And in our wisdom blame Condemn the chickens from our grain Never to know Always at home Always after more Never to show Always alone Always after more Severed and cold Never to hold Couldn't shake the fascination Of watching as you drown You're safe with me again I'm there lost beside you You're safe with me and then I'm there lost beside you Fevered dormant grin I'm all wrought and wired too You're safe with me again Turn the television up To stop the buzzing in your head But it won't stop until it's told Or 'til your wife is cold and dead Oh Avatar oh where were you Oh glory be oh where were you When all the children of the world Will never grow above their moral ground

Hello my sweet love don't you burden me today It's been so long since you were home again today But have you never wanted more then you could wish for To hold it in your hands and be the one on show my love Hello my dreamer would you paint the world to say That you had made a better life again today 'Cause it's been years since I believed or made believe Of a time unbroken Of a world beholden Of a life more worthy It's like the rain that is falling down around me It's like the people are calling out to see me It's like New York is coming out to greet me It's like heaven is falling down Is calling down Hello madonna don't you look at me that way I never said that I'd be there again today 'Cause you know that I've been searching for so long For a day unbroken For a word unspoken Of a life more worthy How could you not see your life as burdened How could this be anything but on and on How could this mean anything to me When you know that I've been searching for a deeper meaning And it's taking up my time It's taking all my time Hello my sweet love don't you burden me Cause I've been looking for the right way But I can't seem to see around All the broken hearted people living In the world around me But I can't live this way

Big I 03:47
There's no more time Your bohemia is cancer On your industry Expiate lest I bring Machines of war to bear On all that you hold dear Big I Oh saviour led By false design Entreat our sacrifice to long Of scion wreath In glycemic throws To beat the flames from off your spine Big I Is this the end of the world Big I

Mourning in the evening Down the hallways of my life On the day that I was born A little boy fell from the sky Well now Mr Truman We sure did shake the world We leapt ahead before our time Under liberty's word Now there's half a million reasons I feel safer then I should Do you recall the horse that bore The calling bird away As an Alabama bus ride Bore the judgement of a race My Daddy said "God loves you But he'll take eye for an eye But don't poison him with wanton needs To save who's on your side A deal that's cut by fools Will bring you troubles in your time A dream walked through the valley To the warrior of our peace The red took victor charlie So we blew him off his feet Farewell Mr Johnson Did we make this hill our home And clothe the beds in stars and stripes And blood of lucky one's And if I go down before my time Please tell my wife we won I can't help falling into times When kings will fall in peace The wings of bird and butterflies Cause hurricanes to peak It seems to me that shaking hands Are fair a price for some But ghosts still point their fingers from The eyes of everyone Years could fall like leaves Across the cradle of my son Seeds will grow like mirrors My boy donned his army grey And I watched with trepidation As his ship was sailed away The only thing worse then a father Outliving his son Is the sleeples night before you tell His daughter that he's gone If I grow old before I die Please don't let me go alone

about

Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia

The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
