Liner Notes

that title seemed like it might evoke something...
this is what i ended up with.

currently about 6 songs behind on recording, but i have equally awesome lyrics for them...

also, i deposited my trusty $99 yamaha tiny acoustic guitar back in the homelands, so i will be playing at least one song with each of the acoustic guitars and ukes that rest dusty and unused in the math closet of the school. they are various shades of poor quality. this is one of the Fender FA-100s, playing barre chords up at the 6th fret because they don't work any lower on the neck.

Lyrics

burning the midnight baijiu down at the TCM
regulation of migration and proliferation of the cells of us and them
angiogenesis and apoptosis and control of metabolism
pulling all the strings behind the curtains of things – biochemical exorcism

going market shopping in Huanan
doing the kinase research in Wuhan
a man, a plan, some contraband, the devil and the pangolin hand-in-hand
doing the kinase research in Wuhan

up all night and sleep in shifts in the bowels of the secret lab
eye of newt and toe of frog and chinese mitten crab
singing double double boil and bubble fee fie foe flibbertigibbet
seeking in the deep twixt moments of sleep for the pathways to inhibit

going market shopping in Huanan
doing the kinase research in Wuhan
a man, a plan, a faroff land, third chair flute in a rock n roll band
doing the kinase research in Wuhan

My goodness
Definitely a tale for our times.

This is nuts! And I mean that as the highest praise possible. I love the wacky high version of the chorus you have before the second verse, this is a blast to listen to the whole way through
