His past is checkered like a chess board His future’s bright like the lips of an escort His guard is down when he’s in town His mother still hasn’t cut the cord I saw his face on the cover of Time The card fell out, but I didn’t subscribe Nothing to learn from the story inside Another hack, another deadline He cleared the air Grabbed a bag and went over there Too much turbulence in the air And flight attendants who really didn’t care He thought the sky was holding him down Turns out it was the ground While gravity was a natural friend It was a dead end, yeah a dead end So he tried to learn the secret of flight Visiting Kill Devil Hills in his mind Waiting for when the conditions were right As he tried to leave the ground He cleared the air Tried to watch movies on the way over there Soldiers and strangers in his hair And flight attendants who really didn’t care His past is checkered like a chess board His future’s bright like the lips of an escort His guard is down when he’s in town His mother still hasn’t cut the cord I saw his face on the cover of Time Could’ve been a reflection of mine Nothing to learn from the story inside Another hack, another deadline Those who travel by pencil and push-pin Never have strong reservations Go and give the globe some top spin

Galbi Jim And Katsu Don Two superheroes who just don’t get along You see them fighting all day long From Daegu to Dokdo Kyoto to Tokyo Their bright capes flutter in the breeze Galbi Jim And Katsu Don Two superheroes who just don’t get along Galbi says, “Get off my lawn” Katsu says, “I’m doing nothing wrong” Konichiwa Annyeong A fence can make your neighbor’s day Choppy water doesn’t work that way They share a meal, then put on their capes They duke it out while their children play Splat, zowie, splot, biff, bang, pow, kablooey

In State 02:58
It’s great when you lie in state People wait, they wait behind an iron gate When you lie in state When you lie in state. But the gate doesn’t open until eight You make the people wait When you lie in state When you lie in state. It’s great when you lie in state People wait and they debate When you lie in state When you lie in state. They debate whether you were great You are the topic of debate When you lie in state When you lie in state. There’s a brass plate on display It decorates the case Where you lie in state Where you lie in state. It’s great when you lie in state Some love you, some just hate When you lie in state When you lie in state. But those who hate you have to wait To buy a ticket at the gate For a chance to curse you when you lie in state. It’s great when you lie in state No one wonders about your fate When you lie in state When you lie in state. How often do they powder your pate? How often do they open that case Where you lie in state Where you lie in state?

about

Time for a twin spin? Yonder comes the second Smoky Ghosts of Big Trees EP, “Spooky Action at a Distance.” It comes bearing flowers, a box of chocolates, and four songs pulled out of the air, at times thin air, at times thick and meaty, in California and the Republic of Korea. What to make of this transmission is up to you, but we sure be obliged if you’d put on the headphones and give it the old college try. Herein are songs of wanderlust, regional conflicts, the exhibitionism of death, and cheese. Cross over children, all are welcome. Music for the rest of us.

Smoky Ghosts of Big Trees South Korea

The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
