Retrofitted/ Transmission

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

Standing in the doorway
Falling down the staircase
Crawling through the window
Nobody there

Running through the garden
Trample down the bushes
Jump into the ocean
Nobody there

She was sitting in
A chair beside the bed
She was staring
At the books
She never read

And all the lives
That she had never led
And all the lies
That she had ever said

And the knife
Inside her chest
That never bled

When the birdy
Blew the notes
Outside the shed

And suddenly her
Parts became unwed
Her heart began
To float above the bed
Her eyes were only
Hanging by a thread

She was retrofitted
With another head

Electrified
Something different
Lying there beside me

I’m petrified
She changed her mind
She changed her mind

But I didn’t
Oh, I didn’t
No, I didn’t

Running in the night
With the wind
On your golden hair

Out the door
To the bottom of
The broken stairs


And your heart’s
burning up
Just like a
Rocket flare

Shine down
Like a moonbeam
Falling through
A window

And your husband’s
Standing in the doorway

With a gun that’s
Pointed towards
Your boyfriend

And the bullet’s
Flying at your
Boyfriend

And the body’s
Falling down the
Staircase

And the music’s blaring
On the radio

All the people singing
On the radio

And you try to yell
But they can’t hear you
‘Cause every-one is
On the radio

And no one hears you
On the radio

All the people dancing
To the radio
And the body’s twitching
To the radio

TRANSMISSION

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Well I could call out
When the going gets tough
The things that we learnt
Are no longer enough

No language just sound
That’s all we need know
To synchronize love
To the beat of the show

And we could dance

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio

Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance to the radio
