Beyond The Beach
from I Can Spin A Rainbow by Amanda Palmer & Edward Ka-Spel
lyrics
Lyrics:
I cannot recommend the cherries hanging low from this old tree
They glow on moonless nights and taste a bit like paraffin
It’s been a decade since it happened, and we’re told we can return
But maybe best to boil the water, ignore the after burn
I have an extra hand to hold you with
I have an even tan to show off with
A chest like Annapurna
A heart of precious stone
Maybe a slow burner but there’s steel in them dry bones
Mountain man learned to be patient
In a world that keeps mutating
My, oh my, just look how we have grown
And the Geiger counter’s ticking,
Mountain man is coming close
Been 2 years, the baby’s kicking
A hundred little toes
Mountain man may be a virgin
Aren’t we all?
I cannot recommend the cherries hanging low from this old tree
They glow on moonless nights and taste a bit like paraffin
It’s been a decade since it happened, and we’re told we can return
But maybe best to boil the water, ignore the after burn
I have an extra hand to hold you with
I have an even tan to show off with
A chest like Annapurna
A heart of precious stone
Maybe a slow burner but there’s steel in them dry bones
Mountain man learned to be patient
In a world that keeps mutating
My, oh my, just look how we have grown
And the Geiger counter’s ticking,
Mountain man is coming close
Been 2 years, the baby’s kicking
A hundred little toes
Mountain man may be a virgin
Aren’t we all?

A Is For Accident
by The Dresden Dollssupported by 74 fans who also own “Beyond The Beach”
Amanda Palmer & Brian Viglione are amazing creators and performers. Brechtian Punk Cabaret is the style of their music, and Amanda's distinctive voice and stage presence is so phenomenal. From the first time I saw and heard them online, I was obsessed. I still am. This album is a collection of live performances that at this point are iconic, at least they are to me. Incredible vocals by Amanda, massive energy from Brian. Joyous.
