Lunar Patrol 05:05
Lunar Patrol x3 or so Sha na na na naun, you're just some little crazy mother's son! Let's take 'em out one on one, it's like a revolution when we come to your country and if you've got the ticket, pack your bag and pick it up and go we'll take it real slow I can send you down the money, pick you up on sunday if I can I wanna be your man! Lunar Patrol a few more times (You could be the one to save me, but you can't afford to pay me if you go where I can't follow. And if you can't afford to break it, we can always learn to fake it for awhile...)

Soul Sister 02:09
Hey! I wrote a little letter to ask if you felt better. Did you take to much? Well, shake it girl, just shake it off, ok? LMNOP, why you gotta be such a mystery? Well, you're cryptic girl, cryptic like a crossword puzzle. But don't you know? I'm a puzzle solver. I'm a cool revolver, and I found out you're gonna be my soul sister, a super soul sister, like ROCK AND ROLL!

How do you hide from something that doesn't exist? That's like trying to paint a portrait of the expanding universe on your chest! Well, just turn and walk away, would you do that for me? If we meet up on another day you won't even know me, 'cause I'll be someone new tomorrow. I'm always taking one more chance on you. I'll tell you what I really want to do: I'm gonna take up a new mask (math?) and it's gonna bring the world to me. Sliding in through the mist to the mystery and I will wash the pain away, but I'll be someone new tomorrow. Here we go!

Hey! There's a crack in the wall, it's almost 20 feet tall, I'm feeling small and vulnerable today. I break it open, step in, it's time to go and begin, it ain't a sin to be beautiful, no way. I've got just 24 hours to save myself and I'm not giving up the fight, but when my luck gets stuck I just take the chance to rush into the light. "Oh, look at you! You've gone and done it, broke the glass and everyone is Running Scared from their forgotten faces, do those lipstick traces in the mirror bring you fear, or are you free from everything? Do The Right Thing, Squeeze and Shake, the tears that blind your eyes are fake, we make mistakes, it breaks our heart, we start all over somehow. When all philosophy has failed, and you've been cut apart and nailed, recorders ages hence will sing your praises subsequently. Secret elemental soul! We transmute all lead to gold! As we grow older, bold in circumstance we learn the dances!

Get Crooked 02:38
Whoah, Jennifer, you're a witch! I love the way you make me twitch, and when you do the things you do I wanna move my body right next to you! Get crooked, get crooked, get crooked, get cr cr cr cr cr cr cr cr crooked. Jennifer, Jen, come out tonight! Your tits are big! Your pussy's tight! And when you get me to your place.... I'm gonna bust my nut right in your face! (God, even typing that feels greasy.) Jennifer, Jennifer? Jennifer, Jennifer? Jennifer, Geniver. Jennifer Jennifer, Jennifer, Juniper, Jennifer, Jen, YOU BLOW MY FUCKING MIND!

I travelled 'cross this land to find my way back home again. It wasn't very far. I slept without a sound and all the wheels turned 'round and 'round, and in my darkest hour I cried like a god in the cradle of creation, where the spider spins it's kind of like seeing the dark side of the sun. In the war of tradition we're all confederates, belonging only, losing cruelly to discover my enemy was you. If I could write it down in words, it wouldn't kill the sounds I heard or put my mind at ease. But time has a way of passing you by, and I'll admit I never try to make it all worthwhile.

Get U Up 02:59
We will never compromise for those with money in their eyes, or press the flesh to pass the test that proves ourselves the best investment, no no no. If nobody ever listens, we're just like copacetic kittens, so crucify us or deny us with your commercial corporate tie ins. We came to pick you up, we're gonna get get get get get you up. We came to pick you up, we're gonna fuck fuck fuck the system up! When all the spies that wear disguises try to blind you with their lies say no no no. Let their tongues get twisted when they miss the chance to take the piss and prizes uh oh oh! The politicians and the press will vex the best of our intentions, but listen up ya knuckleheads, they're only here to test you! We've come to pick you up, we're gonna fuck fuck fuck the system up!

Evil Empire 01:41
You say you want to live free, but you don't have the guts to stand up for your rights because you never ever had to fight to put food on your plate or clothes on your back and you don't know what it's really like to be under attack. Dumb dumb dumb, bah bah bah. Oh! I didn't think you were there! But I'll bet that you're aware of every word from my lips, and every time I speak your belly flips. It could all be so simple, if I'd just go away, but your heart skips another beat every time you hear me say that you don't have a clue who's who and exactly who's running the show.

We've been living in a land that cool forgot since the Romans set the clock. If you run your mouth you might get shot, it's just a consequence of thought. Then all your dreams will be replaced with an empty space, lest your face betray the lie. So let the slow decline of the human race happen right before your eyes. You gotta let me in, you gotta let me in child! I'll take your human drama out for a spin dry! You've got a life wrapped around you neck! Don't you know, you've got to let it show? But don't you love to wonder who will be there when you die? Who will be there when all crazy lovers crack? Did they steal your thunder? I couldn't stand the pain, but I know it must remain when I am gone. Was the system of authority begun before the world was six days old? Did the ritual minority commence to fence the sheep inside their fold? It's like the sinister minister told the angler: "Put back all you have caught, and let the shaman-priest come and bring release to the land that cool forgot!"

Transfiggr'd 03:50
Little man up in the sky! You're flying high, so high, looking down upon my mother and kissing her with your lightning fingers. Wishing you were cool, and life is but a daydream. When Moses was a young man did he walk the streets alone? Seeking out the unmarked cars, and hoping for a little soul solution? An honest contribution? Oh mother, it's warm inside my brain! Why can't you climb the walls in there, why can't you make them all aware, when everything's transfigured it's nice to be alone. I did something low, I did something so fucking drastic. Caught myself quite unawares, tripping 'cross the light fantastic. I was just a spastic, go ask Vescarelli. Everything's fantastic now. It's nice to be alone.

He already knows where you come from, he already knows where you've been. He already knows what you know, but you don't know THE PSYCHIC DETECTIVE! And he already knows what you look like, he already knows your name. He already knows every crime you've committed he's the PSYCHIC DETECTIVE! He goes around around around around around around around around around around around in circles, THE PSYCHIC DETECTIVE! He already knows all of the answers to the questions you're afraid to ask. He already knows every thing about you, he's THE PSYCHIC DETECTIVE!

I'd feel remiss if we didn't mention that the lovely front cover was illustrated by the amazingly talented Meagan Brewer, and the back cover inked by the sublimely apt Bella McKee.

about

The Psychic Alliance Vancouver, British Columbia

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool. ... more
