Time Warp

about

I wrote most of this song for my RPM Challenge album in February of 2011. I liked how it came out, but it was pretty weak, and kind of forgot about it. I threw together a new version the night before my first *big show* at the Middle East Upstairs, opening up for The World Is Square at their CD release party in 2012. It had an unnecessarily long pause in the middle for the "Home Station Interlude", and I programmed a fake ringtone for it and everything. Totally killed any momentum, and I'm sure it was annoying for everyone. It don't matter. Regardless, it was not ready in time to be recorded and included on "Big Hand Band Van Man". I changed it, and re-worked a few more times, and now I guess it's ready. E. Roberts helped me write the new interlude, and did a great job voicing it, she should work for NASA!

lyrics

1984, we were on our way
What I was looking for, well, I cannot say
I'm not withholding, I just don't know
But it doesn't matter 'cause we ended up in limbo

Stuck in a time warp
It's alright, have no fear
It's kinda dark, the scenery is stark
But I still got a good feeling we'll get out of here

Now it's been a week, I'm thirsty and tired
No wood, no matter, we can't ever start a fire in space
Now it's cold, but we're not old
'Cause in the time warp mortals do not age

Stuck in a time warp
It's alright, have no fear
It's really dark, we can't see any stars
But I still got a good feeling we'll get out of here

Must have been some type of miscommunication
Send a mayday signal back to home station
They can save us so don't give up hope
See, look! They got back to us right away, home base, whatchoo got to say?

J-446, this is home base. Thank you for your inquiry.
I regret to inform you that the system has run through all possible scenarios and the best course of action is to abandon all hope and prepare for death. Thank you, and have a nice day.

It's time to die
So close your eyes
Put your head
Between your thighs
And kiss them buns goodbye

Stuck in a time warp
Stuck in a time waaaaaaaaaaa

Stuck in a time warp
Write a goodbye note, the end is near
I think by now we've all realized
Everybody dies here
HOO-UH!
