King Twig

from The Gumshoe Chronicles by Dot.Organ

/

about

Our hero is quickly seized by an army of wooden soldiers and is manhandled into the presence of a dirty object who calls himself King Twilight of Twig. The King deftly rips Gumshoe’s sole out and informs him that it will be returned only whence our hero recovers the King’s aqua vitae – the water of life – as his followers are quite thirsty.

lyrics

Shade him in iron bars
Sentenced to cells where the edges blend
Chain him, gag him
He’s handsome, pretty ransom
Drag out his tongue

What are these cells? Shaded iron
The edges all blend into one another
Up close they’re unique
Pull away; they’re part of something bigger

Shouldered by guards and tossed on the red
A peasant cries; birds burst from pie
A pointed yellow crown stares down at us
Regain my liquid for his majesty

Unknown shoe
You’ve wandered in crisis and you know it’s national
Feed the dog, turn the cog
Workers drown their log
You need thicker fog
And I know how
You’re gonna get it for me
You know that I know that I have your sole
I need aqua vita and you will find it all

A sole for their spirits ‘cause their spirits ain’t in it and if they ain’t in it they’re not real wood

Escape with demand
On we go, waterless world, on we go
On we go
The universe is a discrete space made up of a dodecahedron with a twelfth face
