Here is a new song for December. When Robert sent me the demo about 3 minutes into the song I got a very familiar Beatles vibe. I mentioned this to Robert and he suggested we go in that direction with the song production. This was a lot of fun to make.

Lyrics

Jericho Rocket`s Room

by the river of Klong Karmody
the city of Slicken Zyderzee
in the land of Quandary Quoz
here`s the house made of gossamer and tin
where no darkness leaks in

all the lights are magpies eyes
on a ceiling made of shingles of sky
ragbag sights become sound
in a chair that cures everything
you sit as colorwalls spin

phantasmagorium emporium
meet the chameleon loon
Jericho`s chateaux
floor show with a flambeau
Jericho Rocket`s Room

in his skull Lear and Carroll are back
wearing magisterial hats
magic found the crack in his mind
his hair has madman`s zing
sit back listen to him sing

phantasmagorium emporium
meet the chameleon loon
Jericho`s chateaux
a floor show with flambeau
Jericho Rocket`s Room
