I'm a sunshine lover, got no time for the rain Never handle another, it's all quite the same Don't relay me an abstract world Leave it up to the times

Screwdriver Pick-Up Truck 01:24
lyrics
Screwdriver pick-up truck Pick up your prodigal son Blackbirds fly into the grill Seat covers are black Oh you beast! Sweet harlot, please! There's work to be done So clock-in please Oh you tease Down on your knees Go home again Just don't lose the keys

Village Idiot 00:48
lyrics
Hear a fairer voice Walk into the river Fill another jar See another going Fingernails are ten feet long Smoke another Sunday Stares and disbelieving Motion for a concept Make your body thinner Hair down to the ground Fingernails are ten feet long

Place of Dead Squirrels 03:02
lyrics
Rode the rails to an open country Felt the raindrops on my face Much too late for an indecision Look at what we've thrown away Faces laughing at the clown-suit children Tracks are sure to fade from view Left with nothing except stars and sky The faceless villain is in all of us Now faced with a pressing issue Limit none to the fortunate Wait a week for the mirth to leave you Stolen out from the pedestal Take the rode to the pinnacle Place of dead squirrels is evident The situation is misleading you again Place of dead squirrels is evident

Feel the Way I Feel 01:48
lyrics
Passing time in a parking lot There's so much to see between the spaces in the air This notion I can't shake: That these days are all arranged to fill me up with broken glass Tell me please, do you feel the way I feel? Tried to let it die but it seemed so surreal

High School Love Song 03:13
lyrics
Cutting class, do you remember Hiding out from school that day? Broke a lace on my Chuck Taylor Your dad said my haircut makes me look gay Hand in hand at the shopping mall You gave me quarters for the arcade We'll share a cookie and some pizza And wonder when we'll go all the way Oh yeah Atomic wedgie in the locker room And my sloppy joe fell right on my jeans But you let me share a cigarette Just like in all my sexiest dreams Smoking dope under the streetlight No concept of time to fuck with my head Said that I'd love you forever But I'll probably just dump you instead

She Fell Right Through the Bathroom Window 02:01
lyrics
Please darling don't you see? You're making a right big mess of me Giving me cream soda dreams Gonna play my guitar naked out in the middle of the street It's a peaceful, easy feeling Go ahead and take a little bit Nope, go on and give it back Why don't you say it to my face Instead of acting like a goddamned idiot at the workplace? If you can't dig it you ain't got a shovel It's gonna be smooth like sunshine A peaceful, easy feeling

There Went the Sun 02:04
lyrics
Witness cracks in the logic line Altogether true for your piece of mind Holding back the ocean: there's no use in trying Stack it up, knock it down in 4/4 time Don't tell me how it ends please Wouldn't want to spoil the thrill of surprise There's a reason that the answer's obscured Put your head down and go back to sleep

Little Night Birds 05:23

about

A collection of songs and rough sketches culled mainly from ICS day-sessions, and some other tracks thrown in for good measure. I attempt playing of the drums on many, to varied effect. Recorded over the course of 2005. Hand-released in Dec. 2005 to the delight of a handful of devoted fans/family members across South Austin.

"Little Night Birds" was eventually used as the soundtrack for a short film in 2013.
