lyrics

A NEW WAY

Let the animal live!
Good god!
Light is the storyteller of our world.
And paper, paper: the little universe.
Ink the planets and stars and cities:
She’s falling away
Without pause and without pity,
Away from his tender grip,
Ready to be shrugged off completely
By a sudden movement of the earth,
Or a shift in the wind.
…delicate warm white finger.

Watch out for Happy.
Happy is loaded.
Happy is a loaded gun.
Look out for Happy.
Happy is loaded.
Happy is a loaded gun.
Let the animal live!

I know nothing now.
I know no thing now.
Tickle the strings for physical feelings,
Write the words to see
How the disease has increased,
And place hope in acquisition.
The old rhythms of freedom are rusty and chained.
Starting over means starting with nothing.
(Don’t complain).

Watch out for Happy.
Happy is loaded.
Happy is a loaded gun.
Look out for Happy.
Happy is kind of an asshole.
Happy is a loaded gun.
Let the animal live!

His companion, his love and friend,
She was slipping away.
Without pause and without pity,
from his tender grip,
Ready to be shrugged off completely
By a sudden movement of the earth,
Or a shift in the wind…
She held onto him by an arm, a hand,
And now a delicate warm white finger.

Let the animal live for god’s sake!

Stoney Spring Los Angeles, California

Featuring the founding members of acclaimed alt-country band I SEE HAWKS IN L.A., Stoney Spring still has one toe in American roots music. But songs like Revenge Rock, New Blood and Swimming Class bring to mind a bold hybrid of Captain Beefheart and mid-'70s Neil Young.
The driving force behind Stoney Spring is Anthony Lacques, the Hawks' original drummer and still one of its songwriters.
