This is a song about walrus penis jewelry, which is a real thing. My sister, Rachel, was given some by a Canadian bush pilot when she worked for Alaska Airlines in the '90s. With regard to the game, we called our colleagues, Sodman and Solimine, and said, 'We’d like a cathartic interactive experience. We'd also like to shoot bluebirds and meat with a sniff blaster.' They asked us, 'What for?' Somebody said, 'It’s time to start healing.'

Lyrics

Bluebirds blow their brains out on my shoulders while I have long evenings with Steve and Roger. Before I fall asleep I always talk to my father’s Lego skull. Last night I had an American feeling up at the top of my moving staircase. This is the place where I dream my dreams. This is the place where I dream my dreams. I was rocking back and forth, feeding on the fear of course. Wonder what I’m gonna do today. Are these my jets? I like to mix ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets? Seems like everyday somebody from college comes by to tell me his life is in ruins. I like to tell him my stories from college and how I was so lonely. I was rocking back and forth, feeding on the fear of course. Wonder what I’m gonna do today. Are these my jets? I like to mix ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets? Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad. Walrus dick jewelry for everyone in America. (4 times) Are these my jets? I like to drink ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets? Are these my jets? I like to drink ladies drinks with my gingers. Are these my jets? Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad. Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad. Esta es la joya que les prometi. La verga de la morsa. (2 times) (This is the jewel that was promised them. Walrus cock.) Are these my jets? Walrus dick jewelry for everyone in America. Are these my jets? Walrus dick jewelry for everyone in America. -- Mastered by Jeff Lipton & Maria Rice at Peerless Mastering
