Out The Aft Stairs

Jump baby
Jump
We're going down
Into the hills
We're going down
We're hitting branches on the way
We're fighting for our lives here
Captain a couple
Of bundles
Lost somewhere near Tena Bar
A couple of bundles
The only trace of memory
We're hitting branches on the way
We're fighting for our lives here
Leap baby
Leap
We're going out
When you leap
Out the aft stairs
We're going out

Hard times demand mindblowing measures
Like stepping into the next house
A hell of a universe next door
And damn if your Bram’s not Drammed—
In the capsule
And damn if your Dram’s not Brammed—
In the blankets when dawn comes
He’s hunting them in the world next door
Writing their sins to the megaphone
Smoking extradimensional tobacco
Unaware of the side effects
Hunting perps in parallel worlds

Training Chute

Snapshot of the the training chute
Shit yeah! it's notalgia
Like the original Anheuser Busch
But way too cheesy
Some good ass flute
Got the training chute
We got destitute
We got the training chute
I just need five bucks
But it's all sewn up
I just need five bucks
But it's all sewn up
It's all sewn shut
Screamers descend to the trail
And the darkening shadow
Of the river beyond the trees
Floods over eventually
It's all sewn up
I just need five bucks
But it's all sewn up
It's all sewn shut
Searching for threads with shrimpfingers
Clawing for purchase
Among Northwest sinners
Trailing the streamers in midair
The training chute
Is all sewn shut

The Fake McCoy
02:10

|
Every good little boy
Needs a toy
Needs a toy
Even if he has to dive out of an airliner
To the bank of LaCroix
Goes McCoy
Goes McCoy
With a roll and the wherewithal to spend it
But the FBI
Sent a spy
Just a guy
Spun a web and caught McCoy like the fly
Sting, wasp bullets
He wasn't the guy
Dick McCoy's just a boy
Who wanted a toy
Every good little boy
Needs a toy
Needs a toy

Hey Nobby

He's better than us
Pitched a no-hitter
Write three songs on the shitter
Working from 4 a.m. til noon
Forging chains to the moon
He's better than us
Bears mentioning again
He's better than us ...

Your Roche Zone
01:47

I’m not close with you
I’m not close with you
I’m not close with you
I’m never done with you
Never thought I’d orbit you
Aimed for your atmosphere
Aimed for your atmosphere
Aimed for your atmosphere
Would have settled for
Being far from here
Never thought I’d end up in your Roche zone
I’m not close with you
I’m not close with you
I’m not close with you
I’m never done with you
Never thought I’d orbit you
I’m not close with you
I’m never done with you
Never thought I’d orbit you
A broken, frozen planetoid

Cooper's Curse
03:03
|
|||
|
Who in the hell do some of you people think you are?
It's meaningless movement
Untimely laughter
A second debut
What in the hell do you think you are doing?
I've succeeded
You are cursed
Mistaken recordings
The unbelieving world
Across your shoulder
I have succeeded in pulling off
One of the most successful talked about
Crimes of today
So grant me amnesty
In a public announcement
Within 48 hours' time
NO HARM DONE

Lastronaut
01:37
|

|
I am the last of us
The last of my kind
Let’s take a few
Moments to unwind
Earth might as well be gone
Forever
If we can’t ever touch connections
We severed
I am the lastronaut
Sent to my fate
I am the last of us
The last of my kind

Joseph Airport Cincinnati, Ohio
"Vector 23 is full of driving post-punk ... Bowie-inflected art rock ... and, at least to one listener, shades of Syd
Barrett-era Pink Floyd." —MAGNET Magazine
"... An eccentric, zany little album whose catchy tunes and peculiar lyrics can put a grin on your face." —The Fire Note

This is their best album, and one of my favorite albums of the decade so far. The story of the real-life Bayocean makes for a very interesting read, too!
