An Impersonation of Angels

from Music from the Heaven on Top of Heaven by Kingdom of Not

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "Bizarre and playful. Psychedelic and indulgent. Hyper and Unique. Creative and poppy at once. The songs are silly little jaunts that somehow stimulate the mind and the ears while not taking themselves too seriously. The band is fun without apologies, but also strangely progressive and experimental." - COMMODITY FETISH RECORDS MAGAZINE

    “With lyrics befitting Captain Beefheart, Andre Breton, and/or Daevid Allen, there is nothing else I know of out there like Kingdom of Not, and consequently, impossible to classify.” – STEVE MECCA/ CHAIN D.L. K.

    "For a moment, suspend disbelief, and imagine you are in a room with a number of the following characters: Tiny Tim / “Weird Al” Yankovic / Ann Magnussen and Kramer of Bongwater / Spinal Tap / Tim Burton / David Lynch / David Byrne / Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh / Flaming Lip’s Wayne Coyne / Camper van Beethoven / Carl Stalling / Damon Albarn. This album may be the result of such a composition of individuals and performance enhancing substances… or not. Musically satirical, lyrically clever. With delivery full of puns and fun! Poppy-silly-demented get your goof-on and kook out rhythms." - KFJC SAN JOSE/DJ MISTER S

lyrics

Catch a fleeting glimpse
Of a shimmering vibration
The image of a baby
In suspended animation

He slipped into the void
Through a vortex intersection
And his little white bonnet
Was his only protection

Little baby boy
Let him play
Out in the Milky Way

Anita stands alone
In her fortress of desire
In a house full of tears
And her heart on fire

She weeps all day
And she weeps all night
Till the sparkles in her tears
Turn the darkness into light

Little rays of light
Shower down
Onto her dressing gown

The sun comes up
On another fine morning
And out from the curtain
Comes a beetle crawling

She grabs him off the rug
With his little feet squirming
And eats him all up
In her belly burning

Little spastic god
Tastes so good
Just like you
Knew he would

Anita had a vision
Anita had a vision

Anita had a vision
Anita had a vision

Anita had a vision
Of the folly of her heart
Inside a song

And she taught it
To the birdies in
In the branches
On the lawn

And they didn’t
Understand it but
It made them
Bow their heads

And they sang
Out the chorus
Through their feather
Breasts of red

And it went like this!

When my god bites the mount
With his head in a tether
Pulls me down to the ground
Yet I love him forever

Bodies come unbound
Come unbound
Slither and slide around

And we writhe in the grass
For a moment of pleasure
Till our lips turn to dust
When we press them together

Little clay gods
Lips of clay
Crumble and fall away

Through the spout
On his back
All the air is escaping
And his head drops down
On his body deflating

Little leaking spout
Leak right out
Up from the inside out

Little insect god
All messed up
That’s why you
Ate him up

Little falling dreams
Cast away
Into a summer day
