Co-Pilot

Honestly, I’m feeling numb
I'll get back to the place where I’m from
Reaching our absolute altitude
Rolling with an adverse yaw

Punching the throttle to the absolute Ceiling
Take the yoke with me so I can start healing
Honestly, I’m feeling numb
Take me back to the place I belong

You’re looking disaffected
Before we took off did you get infected
You’ve been a good Co-Pilot all these years
Now you want to eat what’s between my ears

I found a screwdriver
I’m sorry my friend, but I need to shove it in your eye socket

You’re my Zombie Co-pilot
I won’t pretend that I like it
You always helped me to stabilize
Now I’m afraid it's you or I

Zombie Co-pilot
There’s something in the air tonight
Zombie Co-pilot
Maybe you can take a bite

Let those crooked teeth sink in
And we can keep on being friends
Before you go making me sick
Let's set the autopilot real quick

You’re my Zombie Co-pilot
Maybe I can grow to like it
Roam around these open skies
A couple of friendly undead guys

Zombie Co-pilot
There’s something in the air tonight
Zombie Co-pilot
Maybe you can take a bite

Zombie Co-pilot
There’s something in the air tonight
Zombie Co-pilot
Maybe you can take a bite

Thanks for the Frisbee!!! I love this guy. I love his voice so much. Obviously through the years of collaboration with him, and the band that was once Faster Jackalope TFTF was an easy choice.

Over share TMI, pretty gross, I don’t mind if you know:
SpoilerSo, I have diabetes. My wounds take forever to heal. I had a wound on my toe (little piggy that stayed home on my right foot). This toe became infected and things went sideways rapidly. Sunday I went to the emergency room. Monday I had surgery, and I lost my toe: amputated.. When we were coming up with the lyrical concept, I think Truth originally floated the idea of making in about my toe. Zombie Co-Pilot is a thinly veiled metaphor for that little piggy that stayed home.

I was in hospital all week. I got home Saturday night to work on the songs. Truth was also away on vacation, he got home Saturday night as well. Sunday was a mad scramble to add all of my tracks, add all of Truth’s tracks and mix the thing. I love how this turned out. I think I could improve the mix with a few more passes, but I’m mostly pleased with it. I love the song. Working with these guys never disappoints.

love this one, the vocal is so immediately appealing and there are so many nice touches in the melody and rhythm of the lyrics. The music is very good too, the layers of shimmery guitars and harmony solo all sound great, and all of the various sections are packed with hooks. Nothing to critique, excellent stuff.
