Curious Creatures Double Elvis

Carpets and Bass Drums!   
Strokes of Luck that Changed our Lives
The Cure became Judges with a bunch of Fives
We all took numbers, and we all took a Name 
They were all unreadable when the next day Came 

The Journey is The Thing!
Does anyone know the Way? There’s got to be a way
Fake it to Make it, then Lock it away
The Highs and Lows that made it Work
Difficult relationships created the Quirk! 

The Bells are Ringing for me and My Pal!
A Constant Support from the Chaos Outside
The Rarity of Security was Peter’s Reality
Thirty years of always being taken on a Ride 
Had Lol and Budgie seeking a safe place to hide 

Booking The Cooks! 
What the world don’t know, won’t hurt ‘em
They were TOO Good Looking for OUR own Good
Cheek bones to Die for, and Handsome on the inside
Dead Can Dance - Cooler than Frankenstein’s Bride!

Affairs of The Heart - an American Thing!   
Shifting perspectives, but Who Are We?
When Confronted with the Evidence, What Is Reality?
Everyone was there Except, the one Telling the Story!
Every Picture tells a Story – but is it TRUE?

How Do We keep Sane?
Uphill both ways and lots of Old Man Sheet!
We’re Still on the Road – Who’s making The Coffee?
Grumpy Old Men? – No, we’re Coming Home! 
Disinfectant in the Morning – Not for the Faint Hearted!

How Do We keep Healthy?
The things you Find on Tour – and the Things you Don’t
It’s 3rd Time Lucky to Discover All the Good Stuff
Everyone’s Your Friend on Tour – Even the Ones who Aren’t
Lydia Lunch & Marcy B Drive Lol down Sunset for Vitamin C

Looking for Answers! 
The bar behind the Stage - Was it at The Fenix?
Fisherman’s Wharf or Pikes Place Market?
Home of The Slugs and The Edgewater Inn?
San Francisco 1995 and Courtney Blows up Lolapolooza!

Information Overload - Upchuck!
Wow did we play it So Fast? Why do we play it So Slow!
Can we Find an Easier way to Do that?
Orange sparkle Gretsch – Brass shells and 26” bass drums?
We come full circle – we’re back to Drums – All Drummers are Friends!!

Los Angeles Goes Out - Not Up!   
Reinvigoration and we’re running up that hill,
But are we in the wrong sort of bungalow – Bill?
It was pots and pans and party time when Nabil was only two!
Happy House on Top of the Pops showed Budgie’s Ratamacue!

Drum lessons on the roof – of the National Geographic!
Inside the Hallowed world of the drummer’s secret handshake
All the drummers in Pasadena put together make an earthquake
A Night in the Museum with an Egyptian sort of sound
Genesis and Focus on the Oval cricket ground

Bow Bells are Ringing!
Cheech of Chong made Lol an Angelino
In the Biggest library in the Town of Televisino
An unlikely meeting of Minds at the LA Forum
Don’t tell Duff McKagan or even Matt Sorum

Books Books Books! 
When your whole life drifts like a Spirit in the Sky
There’s no time left as Tears go By
The second one’s needed, so no need to sell ‘em
It’s a personal thing - it’s the way I tell ‘em

Memory is Not an Exact Science!
Don’t you Love me Baby?
But you condensed my life into half a chapter!
It probably didn’t fit the greater arc of the story
It’s not what happens - it’s how you remember it.

Love it to Death! 
Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and Led Zeppelin too
Adam Ant, B.A.D., Def Leppard and Yazoo?
All vying for airtime in Great Falls Montana
Would Lol’s Studded catsuit have raised a Hosanna?

Hey, What do You Do?
What is it that makes Reggie choose to risk all?
When counting a song in, could make a heart stall
It’s not a choice, it’s to brandish, the spiritual sword
It’s the old familiar wave, ‘neath an old surfer’s board.

How do You Stay Optimistic?
Get yourself some Private Ai – become a Super-brain
They’re all riding ticketless on a Berlin subway train
The only way is Up – away from the Big Corps
One potato, two potato, three potato, four

Improvising with Fusion! 
Recycling everything is the New Future Dream
100-year lightbulbs become like Peaches and Cream
All we Need is Love and Reggie in the Race 
We’re plotting our escape, to the much bigger place

We All Love Collaboration!
Music is the Victim – where does that leave us?
Solo improvisation – Get the Room to lead us
Music is the Funhouse of Mirrors and Smoke
You feel it coz’ it’s the real thing – not a bottle of Coke!

Springtime for Ex-Pats and Germany!   
It’s a Top Techno scene, with a strict Social Etiquette
The clubs are all clean, since they outlawed the cigarette
You can do what you want, but you can’t do it here
The clubs are all great, but it helps if they’re Queer!

Make way for the Dancing Disco Queens!
Gay clubs for young punks, were the only safe places
Watch out for the Queens with that look on their faces 
Rubber and Fetish was the dress code for sure
The Batcave was entered through a coffin shaped door

Number One in Heaven!
Getting stabbed after 8 o’clock Sharp
Underneath the Arches, where the shadows are Dark
The footsteps behind you, one for fear, one for dread
You had to have Eyes in the back of your head

Montana Red Dog! 
Soaking up the details in the cafes and bars
Reggie heard all the languages beneath the stars
Like a Teenager dreaming of the right words to use
Montana was waiting for the sounds of the muse

On The Road Again!
Meeting all the Oddballs on the Road to Nowhere 
Real time Evaporation in the Hotel Bar chair
World Domination was a long way from Home
We’re Back On the bus with Wet Bottom syndrome.

1st Gush. It’s all Greek in Brackets. Tokyo in stereo to the spirit of Ghosts. The sample debate and the bones of contention continue. No loops or samples except of ourselves. We get going as human beatboxes. 
2nd Gosh. Are drums electric? Are drummers eclectic? Voices on the Air? We got Wooden Teeth! Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you The Sonic Poem. We were Born to Funk!
3rd Push. Cold Sweat Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag and its only Rock & Roll but we like it. 
Head on The Door’s Sang-witches make Boris and Lol seasick. Pure Gravitas to be Sure. 
4th Bish. Steven King and The Langoliers help us grasp the Eternal Now. No Apologies for fading in and fading out. The Quantam Physics of it all. Bebe and Louis Barron on The Forbidden Planet.   
5th Bash. Budgie gives Jimmy Page a day off. Luddites United aka The Cure FC. Budgie wears a Navy skipper’s hat with a hidden microphone. Long crescendo with a pause and a dying cello. 
6th Bosh. She’s NOT my Dog. A Hungry Dog. The Analytical shall NOT trespass on the Creative.
I think we Did – I think So - I think we Did – I think So - I think we Did – I think So!
