Here's a song about the sense of apathy that occasionally overcomes us all.

lyrics

I want to rise above or plunge, ascend or fall from grace
But purgatory has me trapped in a 9 to 5 ratrace
Sometimes I want to run away, seek forbidden thrills
Then purgatory grabs ahold and I remember unpaid bills

There's ozone holes and terrorists, a new crisis every night
But everything just fades to grey in this purgatory light
I want to feel, I want to care, I fight not to succumb
But purgatory's in my bones and I'm permanently numb

I want to rise above or plunge, ascend or fall from grace
But purgatory has me snared in it's smothering embrace
Sometimes I catch a glimpse beyond - blue or crimson skies
Then purgatory grabs ahold and draws a veil across my eyes.

This is my life stori-o, a tale of purgatorio
Heaven above, hell below
pugatorio

Stroller Coaster Detroit, Michigan

We play all original music, mostly about science fiction or heartbreak, or sometimes both. We have an instrumental about big mountain skiing, a scorcher about the last days of the dinosaurs, and a soulful ballad about skipping prom to see the Dead Milkmen. We hope you enjoy the music we've posted here. ... more
