OCT - Carousel by Cancer Killing Gemini
Frank's (drums) love of salsa and Latin percussion continues to influence our sound. We went all out in the recording process (timbales, congas, shakers, cowbells, tambourines etc) then scaled it back a bit. Max (keys) created some custom patches on the Micron for the soaring textures under the main keyboard riffs. Also, listen for the subtle Rhodes in the chorus under all the guitars. We did guitars (Chuck) through this cool little amp about the size of a pack of cigarettes plugged into a few different speaker cabinets. Andrew (bass) fills in the bottom with his trademark low end sludge.
Lyrics:
You're no good for me
But I'm falling
When your carnival comes 'round
At first the ecstasy
Envelopes me
You spin me up then you spit me out
The way you're treating me
Is defeating me
I give up when you make that sound
'Cause there's so much appeal
To your ferris wheel
Until it lays me on the ground
You say you're good for me
I'm not falling
Now the amusement's worn me out
The second ride ain't free
So get off me
Or put the bridle in your mouth
Are you having fun
With all your damage done
Time to find another mount
As you're set so explode
I'll crawl in my hole
Next time your circus tears through my town
In my own living hell
On your carousel
You leared to put me on my knees
On the telephone
You're not coming home
I'll drive myself alone in pieces
The day the glitter fell
From your carousel
You learned to beg enough to please
On the telephone
Don't want you coming home
I'll drive myself alone in peace
