Room Temperature Blues (Lamentations #1&2)

from Pit Sounds, Vol. I [2013 Remaster] by Billy Z Duke

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I prefer alternate forms of CD packaging, but I had to make this version to be able to submit the album to radio stations, so if clear plastic is your thing, then you're in luck!! Random triggering images will be included in the inner tray and jacket.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Pit Sounds, Vol. I [2013 Remaster] via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The minimal packaging required to keep your soon-to-be-obsolete Compact Disc safe.

    Worth noting that when I burn, I burn ONLY with Taiyo-Yuden CD-R media, which sandwiches the sensitive, reflective silver layer of the disc between two protective layers of clear plastic. Perhaps you've never had the problem I began to notice all too frequently with my commercially bought CD's: if I happened to scrape off any of the label printed on the top of the disc, I could see that "hole" from the bottom! That would cause playback errors when the laser failed to reflect, and enough holes could prevent a disc from playing at all. This would happen because commercial CD's are produced via the cheapest method possible, with the reflective silver layer painted on top of the disc, protected only by whatever artwork was printed on top of that.

    So, just saying, with these, you won't ever have this problem (that you probably just learned existed). These CD's are built to last.

Room Temperature Blues



Lamentation #1


you didn't cut me but you gave me the knife
you didn't cut me but you gave me the knife
you didn't touch me but you made it inside
you didn't cut me but you gave me the knife



Lamentation #2


i dared the wind to take away my home
i've been trying for years to clear away the stones

the earth is turning to keep the sun out of its face
the moon steals the covers the clouds stay fixed in place
or so my teacher said

did we have to come all this way
to find we came the wrong way?

perhaps i should call upon x and tickle her defense
with double blind charades and phallic monuments
surrounded by razor wire fence

did we have to come all this way
to find we came the wrong way?

(did we have to come all this waaaaaaay)
did we have to come all this waaaaaaay
to find we came the wrong way?
find we came the wrong way?

did we have to come all this waaaaaaay?!
to find we came the wrong way!
to find we came the wrong way?
to find we came the wrong way!
to find we came the wrong way?

to find we came the wrong waaaaaaaaaaaaay!
o chromosome! o chromosome!
o chromosome! o chromosome!
please tell me why! why, chromosome?
o chromosome! o chromosome!

(yeah)
