HIGHLIGHTING KEY TENSIONS Ivory Towers like Mushrooms At the base of a tree. Libraries and La-BOR-atories Administration Dormitories And the transgenic mice go Way-oh-way-oh And the cure for cancer goes Way-oh-way-oh And the derivatives market goes Way-oh-way-oh Quantitative Qualitative Way-oh-way-oh Irony's the refuge of the educated Architects and Engineers Shells on the Rivers And streets! Bioluminescence goes Way-oh-way-oh And social justice goes Way-oh-way-oh And Eugenics goes Way-oh-way-oh Authoritative Annotated BA MD PhD BS MA JDMBA MPH MS MFA Ooooooooooooh The Academic PRESS! goes Way-oh-way-oh Metadatra goes Way-oh-way-oh Human subjects go Way-oh-way-oh Student Loans go Way-oh-way-oh Knowledge is Power, power corrupts Absolute power corrupts absolutely Power equals resistance times voltage Or a change in work over change in time

For spooking the kids Suffering suffrage succotash Coins on our eyelids! Oh! Deconstruction! Crumble at our faults Oh! uh! Reconstruction! Spilling from the vaults

FALL RIVER Something there is that Doesn't like a wall And in Fall Riverone day That something came to call We're not dead at all Go on about our lives tonight salvation in surrender rgive ourselves a gift outright Howard Phillips hides Night gaunts came to call All alone his plainness haunts him Dark Shadows on the wall The wolves are denning I can hear their calls The fire upon the blowdowns We can kill them all

DAWN BREAKS OVER MARBLEHEAD Asleep on a train. You've missed your stop. The conductor's seduction's a lull. You've missed any/every stop. I get it I got it I totally get it now. Smahty had a pahty and nobody came.

Torrington 03:52
lyrics

TORRINGTON The old house, old houses Trips to pre-Castro Cuba Instrument parts Tool and die A couple of good time Charlies Covered in sweat from the heat And the handshake deals An offhand joke in flawless Spanish Makes the señoritas laugh And me a little louder Torrington crawls back to bed To sleep soundly Empty storefronts like drowsy eyes Soco and BMX Outside the raves at the foundry All the noise, All the noise Mojitos and fellowship Cork gaskets for the swelling And contracting engine of the future Tooled and re-tooled You are my amplified brilliance Everything will be perfect forever The future's not a thing a dour yankee wife could understand Chorus Great granddad I might be wrong, a libel song But facts favor my interpretation And things break down with time you would've loved this performance, in the Warner. Old queens young bodies all bodies for every season. Lowell and Manchester and every town in Rhode Island. Verse 3 The future has arrived And old Havana's choking And Torrington's gone to sleep And no one uses cork gaskets any more Our bodies are long-rotted But here in the aether ionic particles of the lithosphere You tell a joke in flawless Spanish And we laugh

about

Completed for the RPM Challenge (i.e. in a month) in 2011. It's New England themed, because that's where we are. Tons of mistakes and vocals recorded with a sinus infection. Still, love it.
