Conspiracy by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.
CONSPIRACY
Sticks of certain sizes
Propped against the walls
Measuring the sunlight
As down on us it falls
Stoney lonesome statues
Rising from the ground
Hidden in the woods and sand
They speak without a sound
Coral babies reefshine
Growing through the sea
Hiding cunning fishes
Hiding away from me
I caught the careful current
That eddies through the town
I use a Baja surfboard
So I can get around
Sleeping fabled monsters
Waking just to eat
Scooping all the brains out
Of every skull they meet
Chalking up the numbers
On cave wall lists of stone
To be re-found down the ages
On the world called home
Every ancient people
Have legends of the stars
Of those who came to visit
And made us what we are
Every race and tribe does have
Symbols for the Gods
That came down from the Heavens
In living breathing pods

FUN FACTS:
* The lyrics for this song were written 10th July 2010.
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of.
* His vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* Dark Company never got a full take of Pete's vocal for this.
* We are hoping to find someone with the right kind of voice to fill in the gaps.
