lyrics

He went down to the water one day with a pail full of rocks
(Those kids these days never obey their mothers)
I infer that he intended to use them to build something quite large
(Oh!)

He did it all despite a few nasty falls and an encounter with a rattlesnake
(May God protect him)
He chalked up his hands like Banksy, but more of a climber and less of a graffiti artist
(Who?)

A spoonful of Dip Top between his lips
(Northerners)
He looked like the fat American granola seller
(Northerners)
Rollin’ down the bale of hay that killed Mike Edwards
(Northerners)

He began to proceed slowly towards the wall
I didn’t actually think he would do it

What will he do?

He scaled the wall in five seconds or less
(Get down from there)

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
