lyrics

Take it all... it's yours. I made it for you. I LOVE YOU.
(I must have you now).

There's a sycophant in the kitchen;
sputters and turns on his way out.
Nothing much to say,
I just smile and wave him on.

(It's got to be this way).

It's all the talk, talk, talk talk, talk de jour;
nothing too distinguishing
nothing too profound
I'm not riled,
(a bit perturbed, perhaps)
But, it's got to be this way.

Never ending... ad nauseum.

Sycophant, beautiful. (I want you all).

There's another one on the back porch;
chest heaving as if to say,
'Take it all, it's yours.'
I turn around and head on back into the fit
But as the door creaks open
I decide to take an entirely different approach.

I turn around and let her talk on and on and on;
nothing too distinguishing
nothing too profound
I'm not riled,
(a bit perturbed, perhaps)
But, it's got to be this way.

Happy ending... in nausea.

I need you all, it's got to be this way.
I've said it before.

Sycophant, beautiful, typical.

(I love you).

-June 2002, Michael Anderson

Turn Pale Bloomington, Indiana

From 2000-2007, TURN PALE (from Bloomington, IN) explored the corners of the dancefloor, with a decidedly punk aesthetic; opting to caress the dark, Rough Trade/Factory/Mute sound from the early 80's post-punk/goth movement. Darkness does not necessitate evil.

Known for a highly energetic live show, TURN PALE toured the US several times w/ friends such as Black Eyes, Love Life, and Radio Berlin. ... more
