I want an electric car to take me to heaven It will scare the president no imperial war to win I want an electric car to take me to the river Clean out poison oil from this Native American soil Electric, electric Electric, money Electric – new industry for the money I want an electric car to take me to the station Swap the coal for the battery the track for a magnet see? I want an electric car to take me to Tyson Farm Let those mutant birds escape and call the local mom n’ pop, good god Electric, electric Electric, money Electric – new industry for the money I want an electric car to take me to library We’ll open up the good book and highlight important bits I want an electric car to take us to heaven I want an electric car to take us to heaven I want an electric car to take us to heaven I want an electric car to take us to heaven

Einstein Said 04:07
lyrics

“I believe the most important mission of the state is to protect the individual and make it possible for him to develop into a creative personality.” “Freedom is the lifeblood of creativity, the development of science and the creative activities of the spirit requires a freedom that consists in the independence of thought from the restrictions of authoritarian and social prejudice.” Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Up, take us up “Nationalism is an infantile disease The measles of mankind” “Nationalism is an infantile disease The measles of mankind” “Nationalism is an infantile disease The measles of mankind” “Nationalism is an infantile disease The measles of mankind” “Violence breeds violence” “Violence breeds violence” “Violence breeds violence” “Liberty is the necessary foundation for all true values.” Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Up, take us up “The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer stand wrapped in awe is as good as dead, a snuffed out candle.” Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Einstein stand up Up, take us up “Try and penetrate with our limited minds the secrets of nature and you will find behind all the discernable laws and connections there remains something intangible, inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am in fact religious.” “To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp. Whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirect. This is religiousness.”

Vibration 03:41

I say you You got some fine hair Streak short blonde Must be cold around your ear Your tie dye bandana I see one red bra strap Are you deliberate vibration? And oh the dimples on your back I don’t mean to be no drag But I seen the way you move baby I don’t mean to be no drag But I seen the way you move baby Deliberate vibration She lives it Deliberate vibration Can’t fake it I don’t mean to be no drag But I got a situation here I’m tryin’ to do my work Then I see you in your underwear Struttin’ to me good and slow True woman drippin’ sweat I see two bright moons You are a fruit silhouette Deliberate vibration She lives it Deliberate vibration Can’t fake it I don’t mean to be no drag But I seen the way you move baby I don’t mean to be no drag But I seen what I seen Are you deliberate vibration? Yeah that’s what I like C’mon, it’ll be like ridin’ a bike

Delirious Roses 03:04
lyrics

I grow delirious roses In a garden out by my shed They sway to my beat and they moan for water Even though they’ve only just fed Out at night the roses stay warm Soot colored clay pots holdin’ strong The garden is young but the barn needs building I gamble the rattlesnake run Vacant watch thorns frozen in held breath Wooden creaks from the evergreens forlorn They fight for their lives and the light in my eyes Red flower my chains undone I grow delirious roses Their buds cannon balls to be I once was a drifter but now I’m a gardener And I drift to the flower within Yes I drift to the flower within

Future Lover 06:03

Medicine for my cyborg The bible of a pop queen Another free form junkie Scarlet beam Future lover We’re in trouble Are you human or are you an android? Future lover Does it matter? Future lover I just wanna get you off Art of the boogeyman? Or touchstone of new canvas? She’s model number seven six seven nine Programmed smile locks my synapse Future lover We’re in trouble Are you human or are you an android? Future lover Does it matter? Future lover I just wanna get you off Warble of micro-gears White lab coats poppin’ off champagne Candlepin bosom, candlepin bosom matchin’ my brain chemistry The leads were cold on my temples, no pain, no pain Future lover We’re in trouble Are you human or are you an android? Future lover Does it matter? Future lover I just wanna get you off

I skipped out on breakfast again My glasses snapped my boots won’t strap and I need a new transmission Seen no doctor in many years Feel right as rain just a little back pain just in need of minor repair I’m not cravin’ no surveyed heaven but I need a little shine I need a little shine from on high Cell phone’s off but I still grope for it Hooked to my being the price ain’t lean grip my pen till I scream poetic Smashed my T.V. with a bloodied paw Propaganda bandits the hate they planted desert politic in the raw I’m not cravin’ no surveyed heaven but I need a little shine I need a little shine (High) Silent diamond Open sky asylum Silent diamond Open sky I skipped out on the get together The gossip won’t fly phantoms in the sight they spewin’ sour milk at their leisure I sit back in my chair and close my eyes Ocean of stars I’m floatin’ out far liberate the zealot cryin’ I’m not cravin’ no surveyed heaven but I need a little shine I need a little shine (High) Silent diamond Open sky asylum Silent diamond Open sky

about

Written and recorded in the month of February for the RPM Challenge.
rpmchallenge.com

Sleepless nights of programming grooves, recording harmonicas, writing fables, reading Einstein quotes into a microphone, lamenting about delirious roses. I learned that funk is in the blood. And sometimes funk means ripping guitars.

RPM RULES:
"Record an album in February that's 10 songs or 35 minutes long.
Recording can only be done in the month of February – no prerecorded songs.
All material must be previously unreleased, and we encourage you to write the material during February, too."
