lyrics

I Tasted The Grapes

I tasted the grapes upon which
she trod
She trod and trod and then
stepped free
Free she stepped and smiled
at me
I tasted the grapes I tasted
the grapes

I traced the path where down
she fled
She fled and fled and then
fell down
Down she fell and rose
no more
I traced her path I traced
her path

I chased the boat aboard which
she sailed
She sailed and sailed and then
sunk down
Down she sunk and pointed
at me
I chased her boat I chased
her boat

I saw the waves upon which
she danced
She danced and danced and then
rose up
Up she rose and danced
no more
I saw the waves I saw
the waves

I heard the wind through which
she sang
She sang and sang and then
grew silent
Silent she grew and closed
her eyes
I heard the wind I heard
the wind

I carried her body up to
the pyre
I lifted and carried but she
laid still
Still she laid so I lit
the fire
I carried her body I carry
her still

Venice Gas House Trolley Madison, Wisconsin

Venice Gas House Trolley is the sound of a new creative generation that believes imagination is liberation. The band is jammy, jazzy, funky, and tribal with spoken word poetry and heavy grooves. VGHT's music is packed with psychedelic soundscapes and boundary exploring arrangements while still providing enough hooks and thick grooves to keep audience's heads bobbing and feet moving. ... more
