about

A little Velvet Underground and a little Bowie in the bass-driven spoken word verses and driving punky choruses with a lesson from the universe to slow the fuck down.

lyrics

I was driving home from work
A little spaced out
You know
My busy fucking life
I ran a red
The semi didn't care
Speeding up to let me know
That life ain't really fair
I hit the gas
And I jumped the curb
And my tire blew up
And the car became a bird
I crash-landed into a gas station
Where a group of homeless people
Offered to fix my tire

Hey man maybe you can help me out
Hey man I need a break
Hey man maybe you can help me out
Hey man we all make mistakes

Wild-eyed I am burning down the past
And I want to dodge a bullet
But I don't know if I can

Space Boy
You better slow down
Coming in hot
You better slow down
Space Boy
You better slow down
Going to explode
Before you hit the ground
Space Boy
You better slow down
Coming in hot
You better slow down
Space Boy
You better slow down
Going to explode
Before you hit the ground

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

So this one guy strolled across the parking lot
Walked up to me
And asked me if I needed a little help
Said he didn't need a handout
Just trying to do the right thing
Then he looked me dead in the eyes
Grabbed me by the shoulder
Said hey man
Not everybody looking to take something
You acting really crazy
You better slow the fuck down

Hey man maybe you can help me out
Hey man I need a break
Hey man maybe you can help me out
Hey man we all make mistakes

Wild-eyed I am burning down the past
And I want to dodge a bullet
But I don't know if I can

Space Boy
You better slow down
Coming in hot
You better slow down
Space Boy
You better slow down
Going to explode
Before you hit the ground
Space Boy
You better slow down
Coming in hot
You better slow down
Space Boy
You better slow down
Going to explode
Before you hit the ground

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

about

Soda Cracker Jesus Seattle, Washington

SCJ is a balance of pop smarts and rock groove, a sort of powerpop
kicker with psychedelic leanings. The iconic points of
reference are easy to draw, from a beefed-up Bowie or punked out Kinks to Beatles era psychedelia reminiscent of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett years.
