DESCRIPTION:
Barry Andrews' eletronica side project, Stic Basin. You can now purchase this, and other great songs, here: http://shriekback.com/album/245594/stic-basin

Images were pulled from searches for 'Riddley Walker' by Russell Hoban, the myths of Orpheus, Eurydice, and Persephone, 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, and the word "descent."

I own none of the images nor the music used in the making of this video. No copyright infringement was intended. Please do not sue me. Thank you very much.

Lyrics are as follows (unaltered from the file Barry Andrews provided):

It's a cowson
Everybody says
That it's a bloody mess
You just get used to
Gazing into
The (dirty) heart of What There Is
Makes you wanna look away
But I refuse to

Crazy moment
Maybe a rush of sugar to the head
I can hardly see
The walls are paper
Come on my beauty, crawl into the wreck with me
We'll have the vaccinations later.

We're going down there
We're going down there..


Chimp brainstem burbling to itself-
We got the carpet burns of Soul Abrasion
I walk the streets like Blake
See the terror in a million eyes
I know it's not just my imagination.

Sometimes an explosion of birds
Sometimes the smack of light

Sometimes we're like the action figures of ourselves

Sometimes you can only
Measure yourself by the stuff you leave behind
Banality
Bearing witness
Sometimes all we're good for
It's an honourable job
I never knock it
Congratulations are in order
Soothe this fevered brow.
