lyrics

It's all so fantastic
You're so plugged in that it's hard to believe
But isn't it tragic
You cannot feel what you cannot perceive
And all your attention
Scattered and holding you down
Like the weights round your neck
So strike up the music
I'm here to set you on fire

I am your emperor
I am your conqueror

Now everything's even
Even the words that fall out of your mouth
Blasted by reason
All of the things that you can't figure out
But I am here now
Banishing thoughts
Like the sirens that wail in your mind
And up to the ceiling
I am defying your gravity

I am your emperor
I am your conqueror

Who will be my bride?

I am your emperor
I am your conqueror

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
