lyrics

Conductor, conductor, you ask me what is wrong
I've got a shapeshifting woman
She torments me both night and all day long
(I've done her wrong)

Patrons of the station
Listen to what I say
I've got a shapeshifting woman
She's headed this way; tell her I'm gone
(Tell her I'm gone)

Oh get this train a rollin'
Let the whistle haunt the night
Shapeshiftin' woman
She's the cause of all my plight and for this song
(Wrote her this son)

Get those pistons pumpin', full speed ahead
Oh shapeshifting woman
I know she want's me dead-- I can't stay long
(I can't stay long)

Forgiveness for transgressions
I earnestly entreat
But her vampire kisses
Will have me at her feet; I've done her wrong
(I've done her wrong)

The Bluebird
by T.C. Costello

TC Costello is a world-travelling troubadour, combining folk, world, and punk influences. This album is maybe his most psychedelic and has my favorite production of all of his stuff. Quark Lepton

SatDahnSomeWey
by MIDIMarcum

Everything Marcum does is great. This one has a special place for me because it was exactly what I needed in 2020, during SC's brief lockdown. The vibe is chill, a little melancholy, a little funny. Quark Lepton
