Do This to Me
03:22
|

Got one foot in the door
Got one foot in your mouth
One part of you's going nowhere
The other part's going south
Oh You did not do this to me
Oh You did not break my machine
You know I've been wrong before
But I have never been so sure
You did not do this to me
You've got one foot in the door
And you have got one foot in my mouth
Most of me is within
But part of my is living without

The Stranger
03:01

I met the strangest ninja cloaked in the night
She said she had me in her sights
But there was no gun so where was no firefight
And the night folds in
Like an envelope
Send me away
You are the dullest weapon, you are the slowest pain
It obscures what should be plain
You're not the antidote, you are the anti-novocain
And the night pours in
Like a whisky shot
Drain me
The shadows were swirling in the crystal
The shadows...
It was the saddest party under the oldest tent
You couldn't just pretend
In earnest I was praying for the end
And the night slips through
Like a swift jailbreak
You can take me away

Perfume

I could see the King stooped before me, his lips to my ring, and tell me that I'm his new God, or slip down unnoticed to the cemetery where the undesirables are, or, drawing out her scent placing it on me, let the mob eat me up on the spot. They could not ever have expected they had just done it for bottled love.

Butter
02:21
|

Making butter with my brother of a mother that's another
Love to spread like butter
Not too much as to smother
I was the brother who was the cutter of the butter that was cannabutter
The butter is cannabutter watch out for the clutter left by my brother
We close shutters as we made our butter
That was the cannabutter to hide from the other
The butter is cannabutter made by my brother
Secrets from our mothers
I'm sorry if I stuttered it's just me and my brother making butter with no other

Everyone
04:32
|

Drive a stake into the ground
And claim this land as yours
Tell everyone you know that you've
Figured out everything
You know the full extent of the universe
At least as it pertains
To you
Everyone's a fundamentalist
Everyone's a black cloaked rider
Everyone's harbinger of doom
Everyone's got the plague
Raise your flag higher than mine
And claim your victory
And you can tell everyone that you know
That you've dominated everything that you see
You've got my head on a pike raised at the gates
To scare off all your enemies
Everyone's a politician
Everyone's a murderer
Everyone's a soldier in the army
Everyone's a human shield

You get to be alone for a while
And suddenly all those feelings you had wash away
When you struck out on your own
Feeling ready for anything coming
Didn't know it would be like this
And no amount of reveries could ever fill you up inside
And when she calls you to tell you her news
You feel a little out of the loop, out of line
So you try not to try not to notice
And try to pretend you're not jealous
Because you know it's probably just pride
And no amount of reveries could ever fill you up inside
The fact still remains. You are losing sight of the bigger picture. The fact still remains. Of you're going to miss her. You've done the right thing. You've done the right thing. If I were a godly man, I'd pray that you've done the right thing.

Hot Ashes Minneapolis, Minnesota
Hot Ashes are loud, bombastic, yet intricate, and dare we say considered. As one wry sound man put it (is there any other kind?) we even "have the audacity to play with dynamics."
