Can you really tell what time it is? Can you tell if it’s a month ago? Do you walk into a yesterday? Have you lost a today? Have you tried to be an honest man? Have you lied about the things you can? Make a mountain of your ice and hate... Fragile Today Are you sorry what you gave away? Can you choose to wait ‘till yesterday tomorrow is the one to pay!

Mass Debate 03:37
Indivisibility never did define a country Seeking its’ identity from emerging nations Pyramid insanity stamped upon our currency makes us worth that extra length in nonsense is strength! I wonder who can lie the best? So we fight for children’s’ minds with any slogan we can find making up what sounds the best lining up our latest conquest Pledge allegiance can’t you see? I’ll whore you ‘till you vote for me! Party time for those who find sycophants control their mind! Party time for those who find three piece suits control their mind!

Salem 1692 05:46
Deaths confession waits for those Hideous lies remain untold Heaven sent a daemon bold...so cold Giles called her witch Salem 1692 I hung 26 Broke their crucifix Deaths confession waits for me Hideous lies remain for thee Heaven sent the daemon me...make you bleed.

When the answer you give causes 20 more questions to live and the tide that once washed it away leaves you lost and confused every day What can you do when that feeling finds you? Where can you stay to be free from the pain? Who can you call when you’re losing it all? When all hope takes a leave and the dark becomes all you can see as the pit you walk calls out your name what’s the point of still playing this game? When you know it’s around just a thought you have brings you way down Every stranger you see hurts your eyes, please stop looking at me When decisions are played and you’re scared of mistakes you could make Don’t come back to today what you’ve done can’t be changed anyway When you get what you want but can’t smile and feel you’re done As your goals become truth better find a new way to be you What can you do when that feeling finds you? Where can you stay to be free from the pain? Who can you call when you’re losing it all?

Icecycles 04:34
The winter sang lullaby lullaby I can no longer be what they’d like to believe as if games we had played had spirited the age If this smile were a porcelan bell to be rung then our fortunes would merit this melody sung Sometimes water can slow and grow bitter with age or betray your eyes forming icecycles of hate...

Walking, watching, feeling, misty night sea like me When will you understand? Circles of sea birds painting desert sand, spelling pretend words When our time has come around Stop to wash our future down can’t be sitting sad nursing times we thought we had Living, waiting, finding lost time nursery rhyme When will you take my hand? Mask wearing leopards lead the masquerade posing as dancers When our time has come around Stop to wash our future down can’t be sitting sad nursing times we thought we had If our days come to an end one last letter I must send Dear Santa — Northern pole Do you sometimes feel old? Wond’ring, being, list’ning swirl pie squirrels cry baby When will you make a stand? Sweetheart Lestat Raisins in your hand Forever love you...

Spy Game 04:25
Moon at 11, tide at 1:10 Ticket to nowhere, passport of lies Move in a jet set, devil—may—care Playing a spy game, wink of an eye Deep undercover, ministry mole Under disguise identity crisis Hiding allegiance could save your life Code blue for trouble, red means abort Synchronize watches, second hand lies Safe house addresses — secretive knock Tell me the pass word, say no surprise Hidden revolvers, silencers speak Deep throats & trench coats meeting in subways haunting your dreams invading your nights Trust in no contact, making no friends Second hand living, shadow thick life Keep one eye open, sleep when you can Ducking for cover, waiting for light Taking a powder, tapping a line Never retires no golden watches You’ll never see a rest home for spies!

about

"Twist & Grout" is a walking tour through the fall and winter of 1996/97. Beginning with songs influenced by the US presidential election race (Mass Debate) to a hot autumn (Waiting for the First Rain) to Halloween (Salem 1692) to winter's cold embrace (Icecycles), this is one of the bands most straight forward albums from a lyrical standpoint.

about

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
