theremin scream would accompany the scene
if someone could see
above the horizon
where levers are turning
and pressure is rising
as the clouds rush the streets
the flames get higher
enter provider
black blood of sea lanes and highways
dinosaurs going back, going back
and their momentum is
frenzying the tribes
goodbye people now, people now,
dinosaurs going back, dinosaurs going back
gathering thicker than flies
they’re running for cities
while hunger reflects in their eyes
right or wrong, it’s not where You are,
bugs you crush will never understand,
watch it now, beware,
the teeth sort of give it away
blood and locust swarms,
just sticking with the reruns
and Your children will obey in instant
‘cause they ain’t afraid man
into the end of days
sunlight is blurring
the waters are rising
it’s getting harder to see
so perfect in design
snapping jaws at power lines
settling scores with chainsaw for a smile
dinosaurs going back, going back
and their momentum is
cutting us to size
goodbye people now, people now
dinosaurs going back, dinosaurs going back
of grisly ends and new beginnings
the sun descends on dominion of men
the innocent and the cynics
it’s once again what was before
good father, son and stegosaur

south of yalu something dreams
Of Cardboard Towns and Tiny Screams
sf seeing sights and sounds and scenes
then blowing 'em to smithereens
south of yalu deep and wide
lots are drawn, doubts put aside
kadokawa's eager brides
webbed feet itching for a ride
we're gonna find your city and it won't be pretty
going for the eyes cause you're ground to our tiller, better move along
to quiet your concerns, you better try to learn this
we're sparing no device, going stride by stride where we belong
motorized frog squad
all along the 38th where sullen mp-s ply their trade
and mercy ships in shape of none in steady gaze of midnight sun
rubber gods from silver screens preach their merciless doctrine
no trick or treat, it's dog eat dog, it's motorized frog squad
"we are happy creatures, we won't murder at all"

Ramming Speed

get off your feet and join the fleet, leave concrete
take up a seat, don't skip a beat
become a rower
trade your hardship in for a hard ship
tt's not a quip, take a skip across the landing strip
get a grip, don't let it slip and let loose of the whip
no time for blues on this lifelong cruise
just booze abuse and matching tattoos
‘cause i’m a rower
as luck would have it we're not lacking in merit
dashing stewards of slavery and quite eager to share it
grab and seize all you can carry to that creed I do commit
then run to the ships, run to the ships, run
i pull my oar and then I pull some more
’til I'm red and stiff and sore
salt in my every pore
on wooden walls
in our beds of pine
with falling oars
we keep our time
fast to the east, speed does increase in such a bliss
towards the haven of our hopes or the abyss
callused hands, feet had i not been so callous
leaving my whole family now i’m all chained up like alice
in the belly of a big black beast of burden on my body and my soul
whipmaster shouts you're naught the ship is all
days on end days don't end cause we never go to sleep
i must contend and never bend, a rower's life's pretty cheap
i got the short end of a big stick that i gotta haul
the master shouts you're naught the ship is all

Anatomy Park

the dinosaurs’ surprise at their own demise,
will be a minor footnote in the books of enterprise,
compared to the slaughter without mercy
or quarterly report that ain’t stained red
brought upon by a life form,
that is far far far superior
to anything that you can throw at it
so you folks don’t sweat it
when we go against the grain
you get to ride on the bone train
at anatomy park,
our board is quite delirious but serious
about family values at a decent price
won’t keep you in the dark
there’s legal stuff’s still pending
stop pretending that bubonic plague is just a plot device
haunted liver will deliver,
fear that makes you shiver
quake, shake and quiver
a real fucking killer,
our next ride is a must,
just put your trust in us,
at pirates of the pancreas
combustion is spontaneous
mysterious attraction
will cause a chain reaction
adrenaline and dread
rushing through your head
make sure your belt is fastened,
just like the video lesson
aren’t you fucking glad you’re alive
and not dead

peak misery,
paging harry kim, paging harry kim,
death then routine
with nothing in between, nothing in between
ship’s made of moccasins
burns like paraffin, doused in kerosene,
bold mannequin
with thousand fates too hard to describe
while crumpled into
pale and trembling pile
alive but underway to
frozen scream among the stars
i don’t even have to try at all
i tried everything
how am i supposed to be the same,
just let me be
will it always be him, harry kim?
blame him, bury him
smile and be serene
setup for a scene, setup for a scream
vague memories,
shimmer in the breeze, bodies in the streets
eyes on the viewscreen
with prodigious beak
the villain of the week
smiles knowingly
friend to conmen, slave to fear
when the a/c goes out
he will always be here
the ensign for life with social leprosy
hate him, blame him
he will always be here

you must promise to do as i do
as i lead the way to a new beginning
we are the secret squadron
i can see through your lies with my million eyes of wisdom
my words carry freedom even if my body imprisoned
never trust no body not even man
recognize one another or never stand
let me tell you the truth
Imma do what i do
if you move then i shoot
gimme the loot gimme the loot
i’m the dude on your telly
fuckin’ up your celly
sending messages straight from the underbelly
of society
high snobiety
rich in variety
get on the streets and start rioting
people call me a fraud
all over and abroad
you fought the wrong cause
‘cause you’re floored
ideas get flawed
i’m the unstoppable progress
stepping through a lake of darkness
like Loch Ness
a hot mess
and my phaser’s set to torture
standing in my way is a fucking misfortune
program set to kill
old man said you will
secret squadron we super ill

Tiny Hands
03:52
|

|
in the land of pan, tiny hands squeezed between machinery
weaving seams for queens in secret
workers came through thievery
devious means, young kids sowing stolen shadows
while the king sits with gold swelling in the barrels
you can hear those lost boys coughing up their sickly lungs
inhaling pixie dust while and filling up on strictly crumbs
in the land where they never can age
the severed hand of the heretic is kept on display
you can’t escape
tinkerbell’s a fuckin bitch
makes the kids flinch cracking on her whip
peter pan, the captain of this ship
a sweatshop made of gold for the filthy rich
scissors and weaving looms
in steady tap dance over fumes
from barrels leaking pools of cheap imported
bleach from belarus
hell unrestrained
these days of toil will never end
even shadows sometimes choose
to cut the ropes and light the fuse
i’ve seen the frightened eyes
i’ve heard the tyrants lies
i know the pirates providing kids for this trying life
a child stolen, bones broken, until he’s got no boldness,
told ’em you’re a no one but no escape because you owe us
all this gold dust we made you and gave you youth
you’ll never grow up being grownup just a vacant truth
yeah, i’ve taken payments too, caged kids for pay slips,
so take it from this crook’s mouth, Pan runs a slave ship
there’s nothing you can do to stop us
there’s something magic in his promise
there’s this land where they never can age
the severed hand of the heretic is kept on display

Splitting Hares
05:32

brass knuckles, lead pipes and bicycle chains
what remains of the brains just like flies on the windowpanes
smeared, sprayed, splattered, strung out
all the things i can do
without a probability
of doubt in my ability
to cope, resist and come out on top
of the heap of those caught asleep at the wheel of misfortune that favoured us all
a brand new kind of shooter for the brand new grassy knoll
we are dancing to the music of the shuffling feet
occasional scream and gunshot from afar
lazily rolling over the concrete
while the world around me's going through the motions
the world around me's going through the motions
peacemakers, chainsaws and lack of restraints
are keeping alleys and lanes fresh supplied with the bloodstains
pierced, pummeled, battered, burnt down in the bowels of towns
the multitudes of smitten who've been written off now
teach to fire, forget, should i regret
the things that i did
the things that i ate
at succulent smorgasbords dished out by fate
neatly served and packaged all along the interstate

Eel Shepherd

best of the both worlds,
a nimble navigator,
creator, curator, unreliable narrator,
eel shepherd, both eel and man,
eel shepherd, what I do is who I am
never seen up close,
only heard from afar,
i’m atlantic ocean’s biggest superstar,
sel shepherd, pablo escobar,
drinking shrimp cocktails, smoking kelp cigars
still i’m a little tired,
of the fact that eels leave
much to be desired as company
killing some time,
in my sheperdly attire,
no bridge’s too far,
got more miles than a squad car
another season, another face,
by and by do signify,
grim reasons to get great things going
i will gut you like a fish
then i’ll tuck you in
under mackerel sky
the whole world looks just like a shepherds pie
a am the eel shepherd,
check out my eel leopard!
from my eel palace,
in sargasso sea,
i’m dotting is and crossing ts,
like tokyo express,
coming at you from the dark,
with my long lance swinging,
scaring ladies in the park
busting out the strobe hat,
thickening the plot,
mind controlling aquanaut,
flashing what I’ve got,
eel shepherd
i know that i’m hot,
i may well be a shepherd but a yokel i’m not
well i heard one man wants to be conan
lifeguard, khal drogo and aquaman
well he can
‘till this man goes bam bam
clubs him on the noggin’ and stuffs him in a clam
underwater tarzan beating on his chest
waiting for the mouse to realize what’s best
for him and his crew and his folks back at home
plata o plomo, he’ll catch it on the dome

drain the well
the stain, the smell,
the pain, the swell
get sent to hell
i break their shell
it rains it hails
i make them yell so say farewell
extract, expel
haftbefehl
erase the trail
get sent to jail
wind in my sail
as the chaos prevails
over and over and over you fail
get over yourself,
be like me,
the whole land and the seven seas,
under your knees,
kissing your feet,
oh how life is life sweet
side by side, ride or die
eye for an eye is how the gangstas ride
side by side, throw your guns in the air
empty the clip like you just don’t care
here comes the juggernaut
puttin’ on my babolats
with my entourage
and we got bazooka arms
lucky charm around my neck
representin’ for the set
till the day i jet
and my soul is separate
what’s the scenario
watch out for my sicarios
world class head choppas
walking through yo barrios
it ain’t funny and it never was
we dead serious and we die by the gun
i shoot to kill but i pray they don’t get me

one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
certified, swept aside,
i’ll just blame it on the weather,
should’ve read the fine print
they said that i would like it
but i’m still undecided
got worrisome plans and terrible dreams
any day, any week now,
i’m really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to decide
step aside, suicide,
i’m holding out for something better
so until it finds me
some of them describe it
some will even mime it
multiple choices, inaudible screams
every day every week i know
i’m really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
certified, swept aside,
i’ll just blame it on the weather,
should’ve read the fine print
one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
a hundred million have tried and all in vain
even scenery fades yet i remain
unmoved and unphased
patchwork terror set in stone
still counting the days
while the world i know is gone
drowning in flesh and bone
nine ways to sunday
still finding my way
and holding on to world that’s gone
you said you was gonna do better
we’re bugging up the place
here comes the high stepper
the doubt checker, debt collector,
smelling out your error, its a new error, time’s up
tick tock, on the clock,
time never stop, drop your guard
and your bubble might pop
sweep the floor with you like a dirty mop
ain’t nothing saving you
i’m staying on top
at seven gates,
less then amazed
they tried to hold me
they all died before me
so i’ll just made it on my own
in the end there’s no regrets
no deeds undone no words unsaid
its time to slowly fade away
dissolve like sun into the west
clear the stage and head to rest
like scores and scores
who came before

Moon Unit Zagreb, Croatia
Coming from an underground black market filled with strange mammals, oddly shaped vegetables and elderly store owners, where sounds of old cars and delivery vans inspire you to make music like this. Improbable stories, dubious sound palette and songs that are way too long and hard to memorize properly, all this and more, on our debut album “Differences in Language and Lifestyle”. ... more
Moon Unit recommends:
Shit U Ain't Hurr

Talented and versatile MC and producer, flexing his stuff over 9 tracks. Lots of nice sampling, some old Yugo rock/funk/jazz records thrown in too, for some really unique vibes.

Great album! Can’t set a favourite track because it’s first and foremost the totality of the album that makes it so hefty.
