about

The second song is a seven-and-a-half minute epic with only two verses and they're about trout spawning. Which is a choice.

This is a lyric that hits very differently in the context of the song than it does just reading it. I love that. It wasn't intentional: the music came first and I sang the lyrics in a fugue state.

Also, this is the song that introduces the album's omnipresent nautical theme. Hope you like it!

lyrics

Like Trout

Mister, make the words
With eels in your mouth
Bright, bright electric light
Will make you move and shout
And ask Mister Eagle
To leave his talons south
Because we owe this river to swim
To push the babies out
Like trout

Misses, make the glow
With eels in your eyes
Bright, bright, and slow
Slipping down your spine
Tick, tock, electric shock
And spit the jelly out
Take the tingles in as you swim
As you gibber in the crowd
Like trout
