어느덧 인디록씬의 대표밴드가 되어버린 포틀랜드 출신의 혼성듀오 Quasi의 2006년작. 이번 앨범에는 인디록씬의 마이다스의 손인 Mercury Rev의 Dave Fridmann이 믹싱을 담당하고 있어서 이전과는 색다른 느낌을 담고 있는데, 가끔씩은 프리재즈의 모습도 선보이고 있지만 대부분이 락킹하며 또한 멜로딕하고 보컬은 부드럽다. 완벽하게 환상적이다.
My head hits the pillow, starts to snore I don't wanna talk to you no more I can smell a rat, I don't need to see So don't try to pull the wool down on me They call me the rhino when I get this way You can call me again, maybe some othe day Ohh, OH YEAH!
I'm deep in a dream, deep in the trees I'm doing my thing with the chimpanzees There's somebody watching you everywhere Except in your dreams, they can't see you in there At least not yet, though someday they will try And on that day they'll see the rhino can fly
When you told me if you can't beat 'em, join 'em I was thinking death before dishonor As you lord over your front porch Getting drunk with your neighbor Well I might wander all day Across the Milky Way But I'll be Joan of Arc when the going gets dark
Why buy a trip across the ocean When you could already be the sea?
And they'll tell you sign up with the winning team Or get out of the way, get with the program Welcome to the real world! Is that what is real Or is it just that the standard deal? You can have all of that That ain't where it's at
Why buy a trip across the ocean When you could already be the sea?
Drifting down a river of cars I saw your name written up in the stars I jumped ship and I'm down a hole Deep underground like a lump of coal Then a dream I never knew came true
They'll rattle your cage, they'll yank your chain And all your dreams tumble down the drain Never give up, never give in Poverty sucks but it ain't no sin Then a dream you never knew comes true
Wizard's kiss, dragon's breath Pot of gold payable on death
You think you're on the winning team But it's no game, though it just might be a dream
Highest hill to lowest pit If you ain't got love, you ain't got shit 'cause it's your life to live or to lose I'm tired of singing the death culture blues!
Now we're told just to get in line And bowo down the almighty dollar sign Battle turns from left to right But I'm not going down without a fight
I've done my time, I took my bath I'm back on track down the shining pathy 'cause it's your life to live or to lose I've tired of singing the death culture blues!
