Last night we came out of the caves

And set our microphones ablaze

Backlit to crawl a crooked mile

We’ll cast our overvotes and smile

The joy is palpable

 

All that was was untrue

But it all came back to you

Nothing ventured, nothing blue

In a moment’s notice (3 times)

 

For common knowledge we beseech

A horde of demigods and freaks

Yet I can’t understand a word

Untranslatable, absurd, and impossible

 

All that was was untrue

But it all came back to you

Nothing ventured, nothing blue

In a moment’s notice

 

I’d best be gone to meet my fate

Sweet dreams to those who lisp and shake

Slow death to those who would compile

The list of lonely souls reviled

For love’s not possible

 

All that was…

In A Moment's Notice

Another golden oldie written early in 2000, then updated for the stolen election later that year. Catamount played this song endlessly for three, maybe four years and now I can't even remember the entire progression. One of the three tracks I wrote for the EP version of "Watch Your Ikons Crumble"(later expanded to CD length, and like "Smile" abandoned).
