Black marble

from joy by sleeping dogs lie

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The "Joy" album was the first official release of Sleeping Dogs Lie and was perfectly odd and entertaining to the indie rock crowd. Miami's CITY LINK music writer Jake Cline proclaimed: "David Geffen would be wise to pursue…" A fabulous lo-fi indie rock gem. Songs from Aliens, to arm hair, to being in the witness protection program, what more could you ask for from this crazy fun cd?

lyrics

Black marble
The eight ball in the sky
Dead cell “N” has caught their eye
Black marble
They’ve come to see it through
There’s nothing that we can do

Black marble
Set it all to waste
The ice cream is melting
Down his curious face
Black marble
Time bombs in the cage
Black marble beings
Burned out by rage
Black marble zen
You could have been
Black marble zen
Here it goes again
Black marble zen
It’s weird this sky
Black marble zen
Never dies
