"Vaseline For The Vomit Queen"... what what?

Congas, organs, blazing guitars... and eating disorders. Free song for July is "Vaseline For The Vomit Queen".  (DOWNLOAD)

We've all got our problems. Mental problems. I don't know a single person who isn't tweaked in some way when you really start to dig in. Eating disorders are often a manifestation of something else, just like addictions, fetishes, etc. etc.. I realize in hindsight the lyrics may seem angry towards the Vomit Queen, but the song is more about realization than blame.

Sometimes I write songs phonetically in the beginning. This one started as "Kerosene Whore" then morphed into its current form.  Frank brought in a suitcase full of percussion toys and after some experimentation, we ended up with congas, triangles and magic egg shakers. Max unleashes the Hammond in the bridge while the drums clusterf*ck us all.  I don't think we can really call this one "industrial"; with each new track we're finding new ways to bend our genres.

I think you know I'm not to blame
There's still time to come clean
In your war with fat
You're on the losing team

The thing you think
Will make you thin
Goes in you mouth
Then comes out again

More vaseline for
The vomit queen
You're such a self-esteem whore
It won't let you see there's
No way this could be my fault

Does your disorder pretend
To give you what you want
That taste of life
You can't confront

Call in the diet police
No more food tonight
Your dress size won't decrease
Until you feel your throat get tight




















Cheers,
