Nuclei 03:23
I'm certified The sun took flight a little brighter today I'm a phoenix, man The air's a little thinner where I am You just won't escape my harsh gravity I'm the nuclei I'm bonafide We all play the part You're the hands and the knees I'm the beating heart I'm the nuclei The center of everything I'll get you what you want I'll get you what you need If you wanna pass go You gotta go through me I can pick you up I can put you down If I can lift you up Then I can let you down.

So It Goes 02:59
What a bullshit summer You were sleeping sound This one was not much better No restless isolation Or staring down your drink Rereading magazines and your medicine bottles It's all upside down and inside out Don't take this wrong I'm sort of glad you're not around I'm glad you missed the mayhem This marvelous mess we're left in No grim punctuation for you Life was bright with you around But every candle flickers out You were right on time when you got going

Fix Me Up 02:37
GW: "Doc, you gotta help me. I'm in a bad way. Nothing seems to work and I'm in a lot of pain. I've got a sturdy reputation, I'm a monument! If they see me now, what are they gonna say? You gotta fix me up! They're gonna cut me down Chop me up Slash and burn in the name of sport. The truth don't matter any more" Life is mundane and truth is so blase There's no shame and no telling Just what those bastards will say They're gonna repeat what they wanna believe Cook up the evidence Get ahead of this thing, feed em a line, and control the narrative! DOC: "Man, you gotta unwind. Your sterling reputation is gonna be just fine. None of this shit is gonna matter in time. Stop drinking tawny port like it's normal wine and I can fix you up." They're gonna chop me down and carve me up. Slash and burn in the name of sport. The truth don't matter any more. Life is mundane and truth is so blase There's no shame and no telling Just what those bastards will say They're gonna repeat what they wanna believe Conjure the evidence Get ahead of this thing, feed em a line, and control the narrative!

Burn 04:24
There's a box in the basement full of doubt I hope you kept your distance I thought I buried it there It followed me here It followed me home In the first light of day when I find my flame it's gonna burn. Take it easy on me Don't laugh it's not funny I was under the waves I couldn't shake all the weight of those days They swallowed me whole How pathetic of me to be so damned hopeful and naive To think I was at all exciting. I'll drive around this horrid town and Shift between worthless and waiting I'll swerve around acknowledging That I waste all my time and all my energy On you and you and you. I'm not a net And I'm not a thunder vest I'm not ashamed Just kind of an idiot.

Tight Whips (formerly Apocalypse Meow) Minneapolis, Minnesota

We used to be called Apocalypse Meow, but we called it quits. We tried to do something else, but just ended up back together, slightly rearranged.

Some things just work.
