The Megalith 04:37
You see those earthy hips signal in semaphore You hear those liquid lips invent the metaphor She wants to be the first to touch the megalith You see those shapely legs as they walk out the door And every poor boy begs for just a little more She wants to be the first to touch the megalith You see that healthy ass and you can't look away She'll break your heart like glass and turn your mind to clay She wants to be the first to touch the megalith

Got Yer Back 02:46
the world won't pay you to daydream we love you and we've got yer back efficiency is overrated we love you and we've got yer back we love you, we love you we love you and we've got yer back we love you, we love you we love you and we've got yer back they say you can't kill angels we love you and we've got yer back you can have half of my sandwich we love you and we've got yer back when the skies are greenish black when they're poised to attack we won't let them tie you to the track we will hold them back you are worth infinitely more than the part you play in their machine the universe is pleased with your work

why did you do, why did you not why did you forget that you forgot you should've known, you could've guessed you'd pass the exams but fail the test you belong in outer space it's written on your face, it seeps from your pores you belong in outer space in some far distant place that's totally yours show them a sign, show them results show them that you're one of the adults fall on your face, fall on your sword fall just an inch shy of your reward you belong in outer space because the human race is bringing you down you belong in outer space in some far distant place with no one around you holy fool, you're full of holes walking in your sleep over hot coals head in the clouds, clouds in the head so very alive, so nearly dead you belong in outer space it's written on your face, it seeps from your pores you belong in outer space in some far distant place that's totally yours

about

In late 2009, "Manik" Myk Thompson suggested we revive our long dormant collaboration with some recording of an experimental/psychedelic nature. I countered by suggesting that we do so with the goal of a recording a second album under The Vertigo Swirl identity. We began with a day of improvisation that yielded "Jeremy's First Flight", "Third Sun from the Stone" and the compositional beginnings of "The Megalith". I added my contributions to some tracks that Myk had begun at home ("We've Got Electricity", "Molehill Sherpa", "Loneliness Is a Choice" and "Got Yer Back") while he, in turn, added guitar to my own pet projects ("You Belong in Outer Space" and "The Megalith"), a couple of guest performers did their thing and, voila, we had a new swirled record - eight paths of excess trod by two psychedelic brothers in arms.
