Invaders 05:19
The human man is an unplanned plan An alien contagion A microbe-orgasmic bacterium Metastatic osmotic Miasmatic blastomatic Two hundred thousand earth revolutions We are no nearer to knowing why we are We are who we are Invaders We invade in car fume vapors We are who we are Invaders We invade the stars moon craters High speed highway cosmic astronaut Sky high freeway galactic cosmonaut Man in pursuit in command Man in a suit and tan If man is damned in shirt tie shoes and pants What is a woman The human man is a weapon A sentient assailant A phallic metallic barbarian Idiotic robotic Autoerotic psychopsychotic Six thousand years of earth revolutions We are no nearer to knowing why we are We are who we are Invaders We invade in car fume vapors We are who we are Invaders We invade the stars moon craters

I’m a hotshot undertaker I will take your breath away I’ll ring you when your time’s up Come on meet me halfway Take a wild night ride Jack up speed away Fly high off the roadside Give me a chance to say Welcome to my world of wonder Take my hand I’ll lead you under Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine Sooner or later you’ll change your mind And search the universe to find me Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine I’m in town just to tease you I’m your shadow in the shade When the world around gets too much I’m the man to ease your pain It takes a lifetime to get us face to face Give it up get down get out Be mine now today Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine Sooner or later you’ll change your mind And search the universe to find me Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine Come on lover step inside Fall into the silver light Close your eyes and take a ride I will make you mine tonight Welcome to my world of wonder Take my hand I’ll lead you under Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine Sooner or later you’ll change your mind And search the universe to find me Sooner or later you’re gonna be mine

Lightning strikes the cross On the church steeple top Stained glass cracks and pops Mary’s head drops Frightened in the dark Crying church sheeple flock Wonder who’s the boss Mother Nature or God Lovely lonely living beings lost Holding on hanging off mountaintops Beautiful creatures that wither and rot Heartbeats that quiver then stop Lightning strikes the clock Rush hour rush stops Robotic robots Off autopilot Slave labor wakes up Rob mob and riot Preachers call the cops Paramedics or God Lovely lonely living beings lost Holding on hanging off mountaintops Beautiful creatures that wither and rot Heartbeats that quiver then stop Lightning strikes across Land ocean livestock Ghosts rise and sleepwalk Sightseers in shock End times in chaos Blood violence gunshots Madness in method Method nature or God

Money is paper Paper is flammable Big brains are frail Frailty damageable Money is religion Religious lies convincible Big brains are believers Believing they are invincible Money is a sleaze A 1980s STD Spread between the sheets At the El Dorado Hotel suite Big brains hunger hot sex and cigarettes Kisses coitus toxicants hardcore sweat Big brains burn with memories and regrets Cannot remember can’t forget Money is danger Dangerously fallible Big brains are immoral Morality is malleable Money is a sin Sinners are insatiable Big brains lack all clarity Clearly are irrational Money is a sleaze A 1980s Catholic priest Hustlers on the beat In the El Dorado Hotel streets Big brains hunger hot sex and cigarettes Kisses coitus toxicants hardcore sweat Big brains burn with memories and regrets Cannot remember can’t forget Money is persuasion Pursuing sport convertible Big brains are insane Insanity inoperable Money is perverted Perversion irresistible Big brains are batteries Battered and expendable Money is deceitful Deceptive and corruptible Big brains are inhumane Humanity destructible Money is a sleaze A 1980s airborne disease Floating in the breeze On the El Dorado Hotel beach Big brains hunger hot sex and cigarettes Kisses coitus toxicants hardcore sweat Big brains burn with memories and regrets Cannot remember can’t forget

Savage Love 03:34
There’s no love only action Orgasmic satisfaction No faith no trust no jealousy Just naked lust and ecstasy We’ve got no pride no pain It’s a subliminal kiss It’s a chemical bliss Not a thought just a feeling But I can’t turn away And I’m starting to sway It’s got me tongue-tied and reeling Savage love There’s no more sweet romancing Just wild beasts advancing Stripped down to our primal core Just get it get down on the floor We’ve got no guilt no shame A regressional phase An obsessional haze Till I burn and I shiver With an animal cry Then a feeling so high Washes over like a river Savage love There’s no hello no names With no goodbye no games Savage love

A miracle Subliminal Irrational Chain reaction We met by chance A circumstance Of fate Point blank Hands magnetize Sweet talk Electrifies Passions rise From spark To flame We fell in love for the very last time When you could feel the fire fade We were alive through the very last sigh Into the dying light of day So casual And animal A radical Evolution Mysterious Delirious Escape A beautiful Ephemeral Eventual Dissolution Caught unaware And unprepared To leap Too late Don’t speak Don’t close your eyes Full speed Is how love dies And the tides Will wash Away We fell in love for the very last time When you could feel the fire fade We were alive through the very last sigh Into the dying light of day

Fisherfolk 04:11
Fisherfolk lie in the sun Fisherfolk glide in the ocean Language and pride Human emotions trivial Tears of joy and jealousy are immaterial Fear of heights and haunting failure superficial Weather channels nonessential Let the rain fall down Fall on fauna’s majesty Rain storm clouds Carve out coastal symmetry Cityfolk die young Cityfolk strive run high-strung Commerce and crime Libraries churches hospitals Highway madness mayhem traffic diesel vehicles Subway trains and bus lanes airway plane arrivals Artificial box cubicles Let the town burn down Burn down urban travesty Flames from the ground Climb up towers rapidly Fisherfolk lie in the sun Fisherfolk glide in the ocean No nine to five grind God is inconsequential

about

Galápagos, Vol. I is a salute to Kurt Vonnegut’s 1985 novel Galápagos. The ten-song album forms a soundtrack through the darkly hilarious story, which includes a global financial crisis, World War III, an ill-fated nature cruise, and a million years of evolution.

about

The PepTides Ottawa, Ontario

Five singers and four instrumentalists, tender acoustic ballads, uproarious electro-synth pop anthems, kitschy costumes and provocative videos, thick harmonies and satirical verses—all of these make for an unmistakable experience with The PepTides.
