about

The story of the eternal struggle with the Mound, narrated over a breakbeat, synth, driving piano, slide guitar, heavy bass and lots of percussion.

lyrics

Never run with the tough crowd but the rough crowd let me in
They beat me down in stages, that's the wages of sin
Embalmed a guy in formaldehyde
But I know that inside he's alright
Muscle man, wouldn't want to have been him
I haven't seen him since that night

That's why I gotta try, I gotta get up high
But I can't get over the mound
I gotta fly, I gotta fly on by
But I can't get over the mound

Been all over the planet, didn't plan it that way
I talked to everyone in earshot just to see what they'd say
And eventually I learned something, well just one little thing
You'll spend your life trying to stay alone
Then you'll wait for the phone to ring

That's why I gotta try, I gotta get up high
But I can't get over the mound
I gotta fly, I gotta fly on by
But I can't get over the mound
It's a new day, I gotta take it away
But I can't get over the mound
"Every day in every way"'s what they say
But I can't get over the mound

That's why I gotta try, I gotta get up high
But I can't get over the mound
I gotta fly, I gotta fly on by
But I can't get over the mound
It's a new day, I gotta take it away
But I can't get over the mound
"Every day in every way"'s what they say
But I can't get over the mound
I gotta try I gotta, I gotta fly I gotta
I can't get over it
I gotta try I gotta, I gotta fly I gotta
I can't get over it
I gotta try I gotta, I gotta fly I gotta
I can't get over it
I gotta try I gotta, I gotta fly I gotta
I can't get over it
