Lost in time Time for bed, lost in time Dream awake For goodness' sake, read Finnegan's Wake! Lost in time Sleep violence Fantastic terror in the night Grid-lined mind Everything begins with white Lost in time Yeah!

Roses painted black Alice in wonderland Oh no Texting all through the air Visual poetry floats in here Forms fading Cheshire cat Syd laughs at mad cap laughs Twinkle little bat How I wonder where you're at Flowers dipped in bleach Philosophy of speech Tears blur vision Art is my religion But god is first

Alone in a forest sitting in a tree Thinking about life and reality Cars keep on passing no matter who's inside While I'm sitting still, life passing me by, catch her in the rye Messing up in school I don’t want to go Stay at home and listen to David Bowie's "Low" Getting out of bed is a chore Cleaning up my room takes so much more Saving Michael

Don't you want love? Don't you want to be loved? No. I don't care. All I want to do is stare into the wind. Don't you want to start a family? Don't you want to hold a baby? No. I don't care All I want to do is stare into the wind Don't you want to hold the hand of a pretty girl? Don't you want to feel her fingers as they curl? No. I don't care. All I want to do is stare into the wind. We can't interfere with this one. He's blind from looking at the sun. Father says we can't intervene. So just watch him as he bleeds. Don't you want to be a rock star? Don't you want to travel far? Don't you want to be well-read? Don't you want to be well-fed? Don't you want to know what's going on in the Middle East? Don't you want to confess your sins to a priest? Don't you want to make love? Don't you ever lift your head and look up above? Don't you want to make peace with those who've made you angry? Don't you want to jump out of a plane? Don't you want to be a Plain Jane? Into the wind

Elisabeth 02:09
Runnin' on empty, I can no longer see Life is a track meet and I've lost my feet Man, you've lost it, the things you need the most Man, you've lost it, the things you need most I feel like death Some fries and a Macbeth If you had a dial telephone, Would you call home? The sound of a guitar takes me far from your love

Dark Room 04:23
Dark room, cloudy night Blinding projector light Thump goes the bass Not a care on his face 7 flights of stairs Graffiti spikes the air No one makes a move While he sits and broods Closet balcony Tells a million stories Fog for a mile Photographer asks for a smile 7 people on a ledge Never been this close to death Now it's time to go But no, his friend wants one last go It's the last dance And he's lost in a trance She wears him down And he wears her out She is so happy That he wonders if he could be free But she already has a love But that doesn't stop her From moving closer To put her Lips on his

Zombies! 04:46
Zombies! Ooh baby! They're coming for me He wants my head, he is undead Don't give no head, his face is red Ate a cheek, scream don't speak Sprung a hole, body leak Freak! Misunderstood poetry, lost in the world Everyone's destiny Two bodies lay, two people lie Big-box highway under the broken sky Are you ready to die? He fell down to the ground They shot him down Down on the ground He doesn't make a sound You fell down to the ground I shot you down They shot us down We don't make a sound I said I'm on the fucking ground I fell down to the ground

Ixnay on the man on the corner He says, she says, he wants to bone her I don't know, you don't know, we don't know Her ego is dead I said, you said, let's get together You think, I shrink when you kiss a lover My lips, your face, let's make a place for me And you, sniff glue, naked in the sun I know, you know, she knows, I fly

Danny Steel 03:38
I got the world on my mind Ubiquitous all the time Everything nothing love infallible Art commercial, Jimmy Fallible Pop goes the culture, the weasels say Postmodernism smells cliché So does everything else but you gotta' be clear if you want to sell And I just wanna' know What is it that makes 2 + 2 make 4? I find learning to be a bore, chore, more, anymore Forever more be bliss lost to the winds of Al Gore Subliminal artistic, what is it? If you touch it, you will twist it Aesthetics highest, meaning second Responsibility, I reckon I sacrifice my work to art Hipster Moses, make the Ivory Towers part So I can start my ascension to Sacred Heart And even though I can't articulate outside of my mind It doesn't mean that I am out of my mind Thought provoking is my thought process So much so that each idea causes me stress I need to see your face To remind me of my place Step away baby, don't come near Haven't you heard? You can catch the drear But you and me, me alone Burn your hair and watch you moan Then you run, run to me I love you and you love me Divine love painted black Questioning the past is looking back A pillar gone, blew into salt Adam and Eve claim no fault Neither do I, why do I live? Because of an act two people give She was not my love affair Shrew taming has lost its heir

Dead Flowers 01:56
I've got those dead flower blues I went to you with my dancing shoes but you didn't see me Get out of the car I am your north star I don't want to go too far I want your mouth And I'm going south and it's a little dusty You're a little rusty but it's okay because I love you baby

David 03:08
Hi I don't have much to say except baby, I wanna' touch you there Oh, my little girl Rebecca, I like you Even though I haven't met you I think you're pretty I think you're nice But tell me baby, I don't wanna' play you too nice I wanna' fuck you

Subduction 06:23
Stream into you Anne Heche flows into the red room I don't want to give What I don't have I don't want you to Leave me alone unless I tell you to Why do you kill your voice? Because I’m yours You're I want you I need you

Baltimore 03:37
Baltimore is the place he was born and the place he was gonna' stay Till he met the girl from around the way Now he don't know what to say She was the man with the plan way down in LA Till she met the boy from around the way Now she just don't know what to say He moved up there just to touch her hair and look in her eyes Now he's in for a big surprise Now she knows what to say He threw everythin' to the wind because he loved her so Watch her puckered lips blow him away Watch him go

about

Baggypantsrich delights, excites and incites us with this rare concert of incredible beauty. Recorded on Valentine's Day 2015 in Port Vila, Vanuatu in a florist/makeshift voodoo temple, you can feel the spirit conjuring.

The roots of this concert lay in a mysterious disappearance of BPR after a particularly notorious female incident in downtown Baltimore. His seminal work "Station North", named after the infamous neighborhood, would be his undoing after a jealous and sinister maiden/hooker/experimental psychologist assaulted him physically on North Avenue. She claimed that the album was a "pronunciation of his denunciation of her love" and the only way to liberate the female form was to eliminate his sexual energy. This "Solanas Episode" left him fearful and artistically decapitated.

Word spread that he had relocated to Paris to become a pornographer with hopes of redefining the genre. Many called it his "Duchamp Move", a reference to Marcel Duchamp's retirement from art to focus on a new discipline, chess.

But fans were shocked when he made a surprise appearance at Shakemore Festival that summer. Organized by the band Half-Japanese, Shakemore was a Petri dish of audio cross-pollination that showcased acts all across the musical spectrum. His performance was undoubtedly diaphanous and featured, according to friend and percussionist anonymously titled "Batworth", "slow jamz."

Fans deemed it his "you period." Unsatisfied with other musicians and eager to strip the songs to their most beautiful parts, he took the stage solo. The concert would be split into two sections. Section A featured songs; Section B featured a drum solo. The aim was to "give the audience the love first and the sex second."

Following the performance, BPR was seen grilling hamburgers on a portable propane stove next to a lake. After the meal, he ventured off into the farmland. He never returned. Locals said the farm was haunted and that a psychedelic experience must have persuaded him to forsake society. (This cannot be confirmed nor denied for legal purposes.) What is known is that the following day his bedroom was empty and layered from floor to ceiling in pink shag carpeting with a scent of sweet garlic. Months passed with no sign of return.

Just when all hope was lost, a reel-to-reel tape was delivered to his favourite bar, Wilson's Tavern. A fierce legal battle ensued regarding ownership of the tapes. BPR's estate offered a whopping $100 to prevent the release of the concert, but ultimately the tapes were published online.

Attempts have been made to contact those involved in the concert, but all were unsuccessful. Jackson Haines, the bass player, died in a freak ice skating sex act 7 days after leaving Vanuatu. French drummer, Flora was too difficult to locate due to her punk/bohemian lifestyle. The priest who organized the entire show and helped transform the florist into a holy space was none other than Father Jack Hooper. Unfortunately, his involvement in the performance was at odds with Church doctrine. Any further connections with Baggypantsrich or the voodoo practices that were featured at the Vanuatu gathering will likely result in excommunication.
