about

lyrics

This country has its share of vipers
There are several kinds
Rattlers and copperheads
You see what I mean
Venomous spiders
Widows and tarantulas
There are alligators
in every stream

I am out of my element
a stranger in a strange land
I can’t remember what I meant
When I said I was a brave man

I’m just another soldier
Bracing for the next attack
But I got a ticket in my pocket
To bring me back
To bring me back

This is treacherous country
The clouds hang low
The ions in the atmosphere
crackle with suspicion
There’s a confederate battle flag
pinned to the wall
At the Baby Jesus
brake and transmission

Swarms of angry insects
vapors rising off the bayou
whatever I expected
only shows how little I knew
how can I go home
when there’s so much at stake
just a dilettante adventurer
out hunting snakes

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
