lyrics

Standing in the doorway to the path around my dream, emerging rays of light reminding of the things I've seen
upon my late arrival and much to my surprise, I got soiled, I got soiled, I got soiled
Sighting flying objects and ancient memories, a dwindling fear of matter and abandoned cavities
I step into the tunnel and I dig myself a coil,I got soiled, I got soiled, I got soiled
Seven steps to heaven, that's what I had in mind, but when the gates did open the public eye turned blind
with all my strange behavior and even in disguise, I got soiled, I got soiled, I got soiled
So I turn in my confession about the world below, the officer suspiciously inspects my bag in tow
through loam and clay he murmured till he finally recoiled, You got soiled, you got soiled, you got soiled
The stage is now set for groundbreaking sweat, it may take a while to shovel the pile
and while we all breathe the earth underneath, we get soiled, we get soiled, we get soiled

about

Chemystry Set San Francisco, California

Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
