lyrics
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
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
