lyrics

Up in the attic in your private pew
Kicking chamber pots freshly filled by you
The staircase streams with warm mountain dew
Sucked up by the rug it begins to cool

Making a mockery of these hallowed halls
Bickering like children in a horses stall
Where your ansesters glare down from the walls
They were shit too, you didn’t have far to fall

You think it’s all part of your charm
But it’s not, I can’t stand you
That’s why I’m back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn

Into the breakfast nook to choke down your bread
Pass the headlines, did you soft sell your dread
After the take you pretend you’re not fed
And while they starve repeat what you said

Slamming doors with your flailing arms
You can leave me be out back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn

The parlour room’s now ready for your receital
Step up to the piano and unleaf the vitals
Flip your coat tails and spit from the bible
Hammer the keys with a bald-faced denial

No one’s gonna come running when you pull the alarm
I sure can’t hear it through the bails of hay
Way out back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn

What we need to do is minimize your harm
Until we can boot your ass off of the farm
Never gonna take you back in to our arms
Unravel every rotten roll of your yarn

Back in the barn
Back in the barn
Back in the barn

been following eric's trip and rick white's stuff for about two years now. Expect a very psychedelic sound and feel off this one with a good mix of noise and melody. Love it!! Very inspired by it, thanks Rick! jakksy_

Lunar Gardens
by Possum

supported by 4 fans who also own “Back In The Barn”

Really hard to pick a favorite in this awesome record! I can hear a lot of King Gizzard (especially Quaters and I'm in your mind fuzz) guitar ideas in it mixed with a lot of jazz and rock. Very colorful and entertaining and gives me a good mood! StrangeFlow
