about

I sang through a cheap Radio Shack microphone that I ran through a cheap Zoom effects pedal for the reverb. The combination excited me and I used its inspiration to come up with the lyrics which are meant to be sort of impressionistic. The title came from Griffin who had this MF Doom and MF Grimm record with a song called "No Snakes Alive" I think. He used to say that a lot around the studio.

lyrics

Land Sakes Alive! (x4)
I've been hanging around in the cut.
I've been known for hanging around in the cut.
See your smiling face across these city streets.
Lamp light shining down, I watch the alley kiss the night.
I'm on a sentimental journey and I'll be the captain and you'll be my first hand.
We'll go camping underneath the night. The stars will be our blanket and our light.
Land Sakes Alive! (x4)
