Penned this one about 20 years ago when punctured people were a lot more prevalent. I had a hard time taking anyone seriously if they had metal rings or chains stuck all over their face…. So I got some fake metal parts at a costume shop and my photographer friend, F. Daniel Kent, set his camera to automatically shoot his buddy, Joshua T. Dies, and I every 10 seconds. Hence the accompanying photo…Lyrics below
It’s me on banjo and Jimmy Butler—audio engineer and monster keyboard player—did all other instruments and effects on his keyboard.
