Lyrics
Broomsticks and jellybeans
Holding down the tent stakes with dramamine
We can't play it fair anymore
Cuz all the written words got torn apart
And reassembled in a deck of cards
Without queens
What was that they caught at the nunnery?
Did they throw her back cuz she was too small
Or because she smelled funny?
Well oh we gotta play this one without queens
Oh that's what it means
Without dreams
Without explanations
It's in our genes
Without communication
There's no feelings
There's no lovers
In quarantine
Without queens
Without the guillotines
Without passion
Like a machine
Oh that's what it seems

All of these songs began with an improvised single take. We recorded many hours worth of weirdo songs, chose the best, and assembled a Frankenstein's monster of live and dead recording techniques by mutating the arrangements, and enhancing them with cybernetic overdubs. The composition process torn asunder, this is the music of Lemon Thunder.
