In Minneapolis we
waved to Miles said that we'd see
him in Seattle
and we rode away in the bus
it occurred to not one of us
that we'd soon battle for our lives
In South Dakota (Rapid City)
The bus broke down (man it's freezing)
We made a plan (gotta get outta here)
so we split up (carry all the gear)
Hein and Kevin and Bob in a van
Duane will fix the bus if he can
Randy and Chuck waitin' for a plane
And Miles's plan doesn't change
snow is falling (everywhere)
the van is out there (somewhere)
the bus is out there (somewhere)
and god knows where Miles is
all of the flights are grounded
and Bob was eaten by wolves, or so someone said
I'm starting to believe it's the end
so cancel Seattle, go to Portland
after two days in a small van
Hein begins to look at Kevin
like he's a meal
Miles missed the Portland message
so in Seattle he is stranded
we know how that feels
Chuck and Randy are in Denver
playing a game called what's that odor?
because the airport steals their joy
now everything's fine (we made it Portland)
Seattle's rescheduled (hooray for our fans)
Bob wasn't eaten (that guy was lying)
and the bus is back (and this time it's flying!)
that's quite an adventure that we had
someday we'll look back and we'll laugh
but for now we will count our blessings
as we go on marching to the sea
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
