WORDS FROM KRISTIN: - "Rizzo says this songs is "big". I agree, as it uses big imagery: Garden
of Eden, primordial ooze stuff. It goes humanist biblical on your ass, with a little Raising Arizona thrown in. Which life tends to do too, sometimes. Not a bad way to be here on
this planet, really, if you can stay wide-eyed. So far, my eyes are still wi-i-i-de open. Krait's a happy song, I think, calling children, "the crawling milk-fed", "ids", and asserting
their need to be strong in the face of "wasted time" and "naked shame". The
production technique is small-to-big and the sonic vocabulary unrelated to the natural world. A lot of distorted and backwards
and run through this or that. But the feel stays organic, which is part of Rizzo's genius. Love, Kristin"

"Krait"
(written by Kristin Hersh)
In a suburban desert
A fast food high
We swipe at peeling paint
Swat away flies
The crawling, milk-fed,
Squawking, cream-filled
Hominids, ids
Immune to broken
To wasted time
To bolts of lightning
Bungee together your body's guards
The bloodiest bond
Blacking out the dark
The darkest flame
The darkest waltz
A sun-burnt snarl
Thrashing and parched
A singular desire to drive into the dirt
No lust, no gluttony
We're free as algae
In a suburban desert
A fast food high
We swipe at peeling paint
Swat away flies
The crawling, milk-fed,
Squawking, cream-filled
Hominids, ids
Immune to broken
To naked shame
To bolts of lightning
To broken flame
To broken waltz
To sun-burnt snarls
Thrashing and parched
A singular desire to drive into the dirt
No lust, no gluttony
We're free as algae
Those with an all-consuming passion in lockstep
