lyrics

An old man with his old ways
watches the TV
24 hours for 30 years.
On the couch, he permanently sleeps.

He's a coward,
He's a Catholic,
and he hasn't been to church in years
but he still sends them money
so they keep him in their prayers.

He used to take the taxi
two blocks to the liquor store.
Since they stopped his drinking,
he don't go out any more.

And he stands up
and he pisses
in a jug kept on the floor,
missing those Russian spirits
that once helped him out the door.

"[C]ontemporary music for the bizarre at heart...[His] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other."
