My head is spinning round the carousel moon Is that me or the stars humming out of tune You're walking evil baby you're walking tall Your beauty is a burden a burden to us all You're nothing but a black cloud sugar That follows me all around town I really should be over you Beating that dead horse till its black & blue Those white cloud girls scare me just as much Their cookie cutter plans I'm frozen by their touch With a twist a fate I pass you in the street You give me a kind of look only a mother could read You're nothing but a black cloud sugar That follows me all around town I really should be over you Beating that dead horse till its black & blue And the sun used to shine When I had you by my side Does he make you happy You're nothing but a black cloud sugar That follows me all around town I really should be over you Beating that dead horse till its black & blue

Elusiville 04:18
chain the road to your feet trudging through the barren sea happiness is as elusive as the history becomes like the smoke of a departing dream midnight rain left the stars in the street maybe it never comes down here see you in elusiville running down by the old tracks see a friend fading back he wonders where I have been once in focus he rolled with the wind like the smoke of a departing dream midnight rain left the stars in the street maybe it never comes down here see you in elusiville welcome to elusiville where your dreams bend to your will celestial eyes like a light house mega man from a mouse like the smoke of a departing dream midnight rain left the stars in the street maybe it never comes down here see you in elusiville

Katsu 03:09

Not For You 04:00
driving down the back roads with tears in your eyes just like a broken record it's the same every night nothing but flesh & bone singing from your gutter throne if you never forgive yourself you'll never survive just let the game play out its not for you to decide riding on a light-shaft upon a ghost ship that juice will make you laugh in the face of the apocalypse nothing but flesh & bone singing from your gutter throne if you never forgive yourself you'll never survive just let the game play out its not for you to decide

Curtain Song 02:58
things that keep you high you never define his eyes so dangerous & Devine together or alone I'm just the same why would I need to know his name now the curtain's drawn look who did you wrong try seeing through my worried mind scars that you bear from last night together or alone I'm just the same why would I need to know his name now the curtain's drawn look who did you wrong now the curtain's drawn look who did you wrong now the curtain's drawn dream boy did you wrong

She pulled my arm onto the floor I twirled her once and then no more She asked what's wrong with a look of concern I said I've reached the point of no return Walking in a dead man's shoes My cold feet leave me nothing to lose Lately I take the back seat The wrong way down a one way street Shrapnel stuck inside my soul I'm happy but I'm still not at home My thoughts are drowning out the room You're laughter's like impending doom Walking in a dead man's shoes My cold feet leave me nothing to lose Lately I take the back seat The wrong way down a one way street

Only 04:10
the news is so bad they've got to censor the truth have mercy on these desensitized youth while liberty's asleep did you get your fill why the ones with power always counter god's will it's the only life we know so why should we suppose that strife will never let us go & we'll never find our way home people running so fast they never look around pretend they can't see the sky is falling down how crooked & dark can you make your dreams are we righteous enough to handle being free? it's the only life we know so why should we suppose that strife will never let us go & we'll never find our way home day after day we keep losing time while doubt & fear push our dreams aside we're small talk from the view above fighting private wars until we learn to give love it's the only life we know so why should we suppose that strife will never let us go & we'll never find our way home

the shadow of the sun has left me here a broken critic with an empty mirror wrapped in weakness, in darkness and shame I've run out of victims to kill with my blame spinning sky of agony & joy big river show the sky secrets & lies have turned on me he who is righteous is he who is free a corresponding future that always lies to the man who self deifies the ship is busting at the seams a midnight jolt of reality the common crime you never see you never have to worry about poor old me spinning sky of agony & joy big river open wide secrets & lies have turned on me he who is righteous is he who is free a corresponding future that always lies to the man who self deifies

well my payments overdue with a scared heart I come to you the riddle of the dead left everyone scratching their heads like a river to the sea time will let you through to me fragile is the word for every stone left unturned so the story goes wherever the submission flows like the river to the sea time will let you through to me

This could be the most accessible sounding work & best introduction for new Rescue Radio listeners being that it's the only album produced in a proper studio.

This incarnation of the Rescue Radio featured "Ted & the Hi-Fi's" from State College, PA.; I am forever grateful for their uncanny talents and help in bringing these recordings to fruition. I'm infinitely grateful for the encouragement and creative guidance of Steve DeBro. A very special thanks to Phil Masorti for his generosity in making this album possible. And finally, I appreciate Dennis Ingle for his unique vision and contributing a perfect projection from behind the curtains of the alternate universe known as Elusiville.
