The Ticking Of The Earth

They say we’ve arrived
But we don’t know where
It’s like déjà vu and hey
What are you worth?
They say have a seat
You seem a bit beat
Well, I can hear the ticking of the earth.

Tick Tock

There’s something ticking in the ground
There’s something ticking in the ground
Theres something tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock ticking in the ground

Well the polar caps are melting
And the glaciers moving back.
In my daydream silent sunbeam
In my nighmare, nature’s cracked.

And the desert’s blooming gunpowder
The seas are choked with oil.
In my daydream silent sunbeam
In my nightmare, blood and soil.

They say we’ve arrived
But we don’t know when
It’s a horse a’piece
And pit bulls from birth.
They say have a seat
You seem a bit beat
Well I can hear the ticking of the earth

Tick Tock

There’s something ticking in the ground
There’s something ticking in the ground
Theres something tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock ticking in the ground

Well the polar caps are melting
And the glaciers moving back.
In my daydream silent sunbeam
In my nighmare, nature’s cracked.

And the desert’s blooming gunpowder
The seas are choked with oil.
In my daydream silent sunbeam
In my nightmare, blood and soil.

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
