The Offering

born in flame and wedded by fire
we break the chain, arresting desire
fools run from things they don't understand
but you know my heart is true
i'll set your world alight
with hopes and fears of all the years tonight
creatures of the night
all burning there for you
cover of night is safe for the senses
we vibrate and crank with the senseless
fools run from things they cannot command
but you know my heart is true

Black Friar

raise up the gate, he's calling the friar
strip the red from her hair, he's building a fire
and every beatrice is a drip
a bucket of sick
a slip of the lip
draggin' your brush stroke long
fair as the moon
locked in our room
a love to exhume
gilded a cage
call on the page
disturbing the grave
rot in her hair
cold as a stare
devil may care
your laden autumn, spent on the sill
some say they won't but they probably will

Mirage of Love

i've searched across the seven seas
i've chased each greedy fantasy
la fata she don't call on me
and she don't sail for free
the frontier plays it's trick again
and many men race toward their end
they're spinning like a waring blend
but she don't care for me
love! the mirage of love!
lechers crave their magick meats
like cannibals between your sheets
la fata has prepared their feast
but she don't call on me
she's found in forms she'll never take
by every wayard bore and rake
try once more for old time's sake
but she don't care for me

i left you by the door
your world's so full of gore
what are these feelings for?
we're lost but we can settle scores
i'll see if you will saw
i'll abet if you break the law
i'll heed if you will call
i'll hear your voice bouncing 'round the hall
i'll see if you will saw
i'll abet if you break the law
i'll see what no one saw
i'll hear your voice if you come to call
you're livin' on the lam
she-wolf ain't got no clan
this love don't turn to sand
or slip thru some unholy hand

time's a stream...
harbor's dark, the fog is green
momma cries, where have you been?
on the s.s. eldrich
sleepy town...
latchkey kids are not around
can you feel the hand inside
antenna stressing, splitting time
man make the weather
man make your mind
forward and back again
they're stressing time
they're bending time
they're splitting time
wish machine...
honed in like a tractor beam
does your heart fill up with dread?
lodged inside the bucket head
seeing eye...
like a t.v. gone haywire
deep inside a basement lab
you'll become part of a slab
man make the weather
man make your mind
forward and back again
they're stressing time
they're bending time
they're splitting time
suffer now for all mankind
test the towers of the mind
scoff at their failed suicides
backwards and ahead of time
if you've got no place to go
move your dial, tune in slow
some call it phoenix or rainbow
transmitting live from camp hero

Shop Talk Brooklyn, New York
“NYC punk that sounds like it was transported from another dimension. Anthemic and addictive, but dark and dreary, like London and pre-hardcore L.A. mingling somewhere mysterious. The psychobilly tinges and warbly vocals really solidify SHOP TALK as a band who sound like…SHOP TALK. Which is a feat in itself, but they’re also really fukkn good at it.” —Maximum Rocknroll ... more
