Drummer Christian Tanna of I Mother Earth (heavily influenced by beat generation poetry), one lyric from each album:

Open and flow
Just swinging forever
Making love to the ground
'Cause it just feels better

-Levitate, from "Dig"

Every thirty days a light goes on
And brightens my back yard a yellow
Dying sun
I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood
On some other plane I have
Become affected drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame
My mother for dressing me like a girl
I don't know maybe that's kind of weird

-Like A Girl, from "Scenery & Fish"

A worn out old suitcase so what if it's broken, hopeless a
little odd in a splash of autumn on drugs holding all
the weight for me the weight of me

-Autumn On Drugs, from "Blue Green Orange"

So then I sink
In slow motion, can't hold my breath long
In water's deep aloha half-smile
It's swim or be sunken
And know there's no one to get me out
From under
So help me someone

-Hell And Malfunction, from "the Quicksilver Meat Dream"
