(Berry/de la Cuesta/Mellinder)

lyrics

Back in the broiler bar, that's where I first heard her name
Full faddom five, that's where she lies
Now wrapped in plasticine, she couldn't make the scene
Coral are her bones, pearls are her eyes

White lines marked the ledge, no birds would sing
Set my teeth on edge, made me shake and everything
Nothing of her would change, saved beneath the sea
But did she change into something rich and strange!

Later that evening I went to the shore
Saw the setting sun, heard the waters roar
Voice whispered sadly, "Please let me be
I've suffered enough, tasted enough misery"

Then Mary stood quick and pointed at me:
"You'd make company down beneath the sea!"
Then from that bank I ran, a great heave arose
Mary, I won't share your pain or woes

Back in the broiler bar, that's where I first heard her name
Full faddom five, that's where she lies
Now wrapped in plasticine, she couldn't make the scene
Coral are her bones, pearls are her eyes

Vacuum Tree Head was formed by Jason Berry and Michael de la Cuesta in a garage in south San José, California, in 1989. Inspired equally by punk rock, free jazz, electronic music and modern composition, we recorded in whatever style we wanted, on whatever instrument we could get our hands on, in whichever manner we pleased. VTH ceased operations in December of 2019. ... more
