Name: Burial of a Timepiece
Duration: P00H04M10S
Description: This was actually one of the only "zeusbunch" songs that translated well into an SRB song. We played this one at every SRB show after we wrote it. I always felt that this song completed the transition of SRB from it's 1986 nasty punk band origins to the unique, talented, original band that it ended up as in 1990.

lyrics

She waited for what she saw
Was built of rock and the sea and
She was god.

Broken pencil pieces of love die and fall around me
I am this old cat lying around.

She builds a high mountain
With an accidental wrist pirouette
With dances of stone in her eyes.

Bet you that simplicity will change
Bet you the world starts breaking up it's knees again
Bet you cardboard replaces our dream of tomorrow
Bet you cardboard replaces the youth of tomorrow.

She is light and these fish like stars are begging the night for eyes
And we see them and they fall
She will fall rock bottom down to the oceanside
All gray with the pleasure from yesterday
All gray.

Bet you that simplicity will change
Bet you the world starts breaking up it's knees again
Bet you cardboard replaces our dream of tomorrow
Bet you cardboard replaces the youth of tomorrow.

We gouge the pieces out of the sky and we gouge out our eyes
And we call this the dance of progress.

about

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
