lyrics

Given a first choice would red be turquoise?
For just a half chance would you still play that dance for me?
I’ve sent a flower to your ivory tower
in hopes that someday you’ll come and spend some time with me
I’ve sent attractions I wait for your reaction
I know together that we’d be oh so heavenly

I see a mirror test of life so sweet
I see a lifeline filed “Incomplete”
I see a setting sun of circumstance
I see a new day borne of random chance. . .more time

Now I see just what you always
meant to me fantasy half—life
Give me what I never got and
Do for me know what I need and
give to me open a channel
Right the wrongs write us a new song

Show me how help me to find an
answer now (always elusive)
always there just South of nowhere
Refugee! I’m calling Refugee!

When the sun sets on the moon
and flowers die too soon — you know I’ll come for you
through your loneliness and pain
I’ve been and felt the same -- I’ll be there yet again
And all the horror we have seen
it seems an awful dream — a nightmare spider scene
Yet from this hell we stand today
a victim of a ricochet left faraway...

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.
