I Can't Stop It

lyrics

Summer’s comin’ I can’t stop it
Locked in like a Soviet rocket
nearing blade a searing day the shade of red

Digging heels to the grounded
Working wheels ‘till they found it
What if I laughed into your angry face instead

Face of faces grace of places
running to the angry aces
I can find no empty place to hang my head

Sunset like an orange fire
Set the stage a funeral pyre
and we just smile and play along with yesterday

Carlos Castaneda told me
Windmills may not make you crazy
but then he never was a Don Juan ladies man

I’m just trying to watch my back
anticipate the alien attack
I’m food for Martians, I am hooked on phonics

April is the spring — May is in between — June I can’t believe is gone!

I’m willing to be the same fear
if you’re filling in for the Savior
Tell everyone why you left them
without having to formally admit your past
If good is to triumph evil
it must be especially careful
Confronted with greed or honor
do you realize what they offer?

Can sunlight diffuse the ice age
while keeping the long commitment to the West?
You sound like a rainbow picture
the essence of what lived once here
At times you may sound convincing
or maybe it really is a shadow dance?

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.
