about

Inspired by the dragon in John Gardner's "Grendel" (1971).

lyrics

I’ve seen starry nights foreving burning
Story books, pages ever turning
Shoreless seas, endlessly churning
Monuments eroding to dust

And I’ve seen legends blossom and wither
Angels soar, serpents slither
Blind man scramble yon and hither
Love and die to a lunatic song

I’ve seen rivers rage and then evaporate
Glaciers surge and silently eviscerate
Nova flare and gaudily illuminate
Rituals bizarre and obscene

And I’ve seen magic murdered by circuitry
Demons subjugated by psychiatry
Fear and hope transformed into theology
Altars raised to a formula

All these years of winter snows falling
All these years of mysteries calling
All these years of searching and crawling
Questions under a darkening sun

All these years of autumn leaves burning
All these years of cynical observing
All these years of mice and men yearning
All these years but answers, I’ve none.

about

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
