lyrics

you won’t find your pleasure
wincing at the slightest sign of pain
you won’t see your treasure
peering through sunglasses in the rain
you’re running from the sun
and missing all the fun

you won’t fix your wagon
leaving it to dry rot in its place
you won’t slay the dragon
petrified to look it in its face
you’re running from the sun
and missing all the fun

the road is long, the pavement’s rough
but those who are of stronger stuff
let no one know they’ve had enough
they go to sleep but never rest
knowing the journey is a test
that fails all but the very best

you won’t be a dancer
wasting time by holding up the wall
you won’t find the answer
making like there’s no question at all
you’re running from the sun
and missing all the fun

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

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
by Jeffy

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