lyrics

I hope this kinda goes like the song you never wrote
All blocks are finally overcome
You made some sense out of madness
Reminded me of what to laugh at
And how crying and laughing can sound the same

Satire and philanthropy, who would’ve ever thunk it
Go together like tea and ticker tape
In a mad world, trees grow money
In a sad world, everything’s funny
In a bad world, the good guys always win

Pick an apple
Strip a branch
Nothing can stop us from doing what we can do
So long and thanks for all the fish
Split an atom
Decode a gene
You put some fun into morality
Gave us a last chance to see

Guilty of upholding the legacy of twig technology
What’s it like to free from it all at last
To be or not to be: is that after all the question?
The answer might as well be forty-two

Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.
