PLAYLIST ADDITION:
from COUP DE ETAT by Kip Hanrahan
[lengthy conga and percussion intro
mournful sax added with lyrics]
no one here gets to transcend
out of this landscape
no one gets a direct line to Hell
not abstract expressionist painters
not Zen Buddhists
not even Gurdjieff or Watts
not successful athletes
not John Coltrane
not even people in love
no one here gets to transcend
out of this landscape
'cept oil company executives
every dollar that makes up the budget of this record
every dollar I see in my breakfast
every dollar I see in the eyes of the woman I eat breakfast with
will someday help an oil company executive transcend
first class to heaven
[fade and out]
