about

"This is about a friend of mine who killed himself." - Crispin Lee

lyrics

Stab the needle into your arm
Feel the poison in your veins
Your head is spinning
Your mind is reeling
You do much more
You're gonna go insane

Drugs all night and drugs all day
You got your heroin and cocaine
You don't have sex or see your friends
All you do is destroy your brain

Now the drug takes control of you
You do just what it tells you to
The drug controls you every day
You do much more
You're gonna pay

In your head you hear a voice
In your mind you hear a call
Someone talking or someone saying
You want to die
But you ain't got the balls

You couldn't get your fix today
But you would've done it anyway
You slide the noose around your head
Next thing you know you are dead

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
