From a poem called Lernean Hydra by Eric Brown, adapted to reflect empiricism of catching drummer from the old group on MTV music awards playing to a cast of thousands - rescued from a cassette and remastered - this was the only one where we weren't able to escape from A&M with the DAT...
lyrics
Dawn is a stranger a stranger is dawn
I used to be angry but now I am gone
I see your little shoulders on my television
it was not so long ago I wrapped myself around them
Dawn is a stranger a stranger is dawn
trying to look and learn
Dawn is a stranger who reaches into my pocket
and breaks off a piece of chocolate without asking
without asking and her friends all laugh
her friends all laugh
I am the afternoon and I bury anger in the dirt
I used to be angry but now I bury anger in the dirt
a bud pokes through and explodes
and explodes
Dawn is a stranger a stranger is dawn
three bloodshot strangers say your are buckshot here
I hate talking to you in satellite transmissions
and water is squeezed through a grain of rice
