Sparkle Stars
Hollow Howl
SPARKLE STARS
Hidden in here
The story of a boy
Delta Echo Foxtrot
Hotel India Juliett
In our drama, we
Pull the night, and we
Light the curtains, and we
Douse the stars
He rides a contrail
No one else can see
A seer among the stars
He’s drifting
He stirs the sunpots
He stirs the sunpots
Mixes them with the elements
///
Sparkling stars
In your eyes
Romeo Sierra Tango
Victor Whiskey X-ray
In our drama, we
Pull the night, and we
Light the curtains, and we
Douse the stars
He controls a theater
of animals
Who leap through
Saturn’s rings
Who leap through
Saturn’s rings
And balance on
The moon
In our drama, we
Pull the night, and we
Light the curtains, and we
Douse the stars
Douse the stars
Douse the stars
Douse the stars
Douse the stars
Shhhhhh
There is a light
Can you see the light
Here is the light
Oooh, ahhh
Where is the light
Can you see the light
Where is the light
Oooh, ahhh
Can you see the light
Can you see the light
Here is the light
Oooh, ahhh
Light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light

Horse Epic
Hollow Howl
The horse presses on
On and on
and on
No bridle no saddle no money no map
She rides, she is free
No woman no man no child no babe
She rides, she is free
No path no oasis no water no rest
She rides, she is free
There’s a town
In the distance
There’s a town
In the distance
There’s a town
In the distance
There’s a town
In the distance
There’s a desert that eats sand
Like it’s love
There’s a desert that eats love
Like it’s sand
Take these nails out,
They hurt her so
Watch her go, watch her go
Watch her go
She will not turn around
Turn around
Ride free, my friend
Ride free, my friend

Sneakers
Hollow Howl
Two boys run down the street
Hand in hand
And two boys play
In the street
They write their names
They write
Write them in the sky
They write their names
They write, write them on the wall
Two boys wear sneakers
And two boys wear sneakers
Ooo, ooo, oo oo
Ooo, ooo, oo oo
Ooo, ooo, oo oo
Ooo, ooo, oo oo
He’s sweet
And he’s sweet too
He’s sweet
He’s sweet too
He’s sweet
He’s sweet too
He’s sweet
Woo-ooo wooo
Woo-ooo wooo
Two boys

Laughin’ and jokin’ and playin’ their music
Two boys on the hot, hot summer street
Right now
Two boys,

Ooooooooo!
Ooo, ooo, oo oo
Ooo, ooo, oo oo

Snakeskin
Hollow Howl
Step aside,
My forked tongue ain’t tied
Move, move
I’ve got something to prove
I bite, I hope that’s alright
I sting, it’s just my thing
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
Lucky break
To meet a snake
Fast back
Sand road one track
Make a pass
Watch the hourglass
Cool skin
Contortrix
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
Sweetheart,
There is no head start
Run, run
You’re no fun
I bite, I hope that’s alright
I sting, it’s just my thing
Swerve, swerve
Watch the curve
Set the pace
Diamond face
Escape the
Camouflage landscape
I’d rather
A snake handler
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
The discipline to my shed skin
maybe I will
Maybe I won’t
I bite, I hope that’s alright
I sting, it’s just my thing
Go, snake, go
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah
yeah, yeah
whoa, yeah

Even The Great Temples
Hollow Howl
Even the great temples
Are buried in sand
Like sun
The great fuel
It burns away
Some sun son
Mother, father
Some sun son
Sister, brother
Some sun son
Oh my, oh my kin
Salt and sand
Sugar and ice
Stone and sun
The alchemy of timbers
The alchemy of stone
The alchemy of monuments
Who carries the great names?
Who carries the great names?
The great names
Some sun son
Mother, father
Some sun son
Sister, brother
Some sun son
Oh my, oh my kin
Even the great temples
Are buried in sand
Like leaves
The great mountains
They blow away
Some sun son
Mother, father
Some sun son
Sister, brother
Some sun son
Oh my, oh my kin, oh my kin,
oh my kin, oh my kin, my kin
oh my kin, oh, oh, my kin
oh my kin

In the EP Inner and Outer Terrain, musical and psychological journeys meld. Hints of Old World folk music, desert ballads, and swampy blues weave together with dark post-punk energy to evoke distant landscapes.
