about

My musical recollections of an ecstasy-soaked night in Auckland, New Zealand. We convened with the spirit of Alan Ginsberg, navigated the treacherous clubs and chic lounges, and recited poetry read from t-shirts and water bottle labels.

lyrics

Comin back down from outer space Cruisin through the city past the bulldogs at the gates And all the pretty girls burnin bulldog eyes Glitter vinyl chalk-white smiles + Comin back down from outer space Praying for a miracle to add to our mistakes The devil got the city but the kiddies got away Hanging from the fire escape Hello Ginsberg baby You wanna take a ride? We'll cruise the crush in style Where every star's a light To guide us through the night For every night we're too far gone Comin back down from outerspace Mother's in the headlines cause father's a disgrace And little brother's prayin now to someone we forgot And everything we left he got Sister E won't you come save me? I don't want to lie here no more Belly fit to bursting but the thirsting won't abate Smilin at the sewer grate + The God's are in the pulpit The fever's on its way We're looking up to philistines and calling out rude names And everyone's your lover And your lover wants some food But you can't speak or move + Comin back down from outerspace Crashin through the atmosphere and burnin up the pace The gospel's on the T-shirt and the seizures on its way
