My family owned a video store and while cleaning one day we came across the empty box for the film Neon Maniacs. I mocked the taglines: "Switch On The Terror!" and "Just Add Water!" Without the tape, I turned to our home video review book to learn more about it. What I discovered were two conflicting synopses. The box said it took place in San Francisco, the book said New York. The box said there was one survivor of the initial attack, the book claimed three. This song was written about the synopses, not the movie itself.

lyrics
They're gruesome and psychotic
and only come out at night
The unsuspecting are easy prey
to their frightening appetite
Reasoning is beyond them
You cannot sway their minds
Just look at the victims
that they leave behind
Neon Maniacs
Switch on the terror
Neon Maniacs
Just add water
They live in the cities
or one of them at least
They leave only one survivor
or maybe it was three
With every moment that passes
the plot thins ever more
Don't say I didn't warn you
You have been informed
Neon Maniacs
Switch on the terror
Neon Maniacs
Just add water
This is THE ALBUM about the drudgery of work and self doubt while trying to create something wonderful. I cannot recommend it enough. Planga-La Laboratories
If for nothing else, get this for the song "Snow." It kicks my ass every time I listen to it. It is everything I want to do as a songwriter. Planga-La Laboratories
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
