From the video EP, "Nature Of The Beast"

lyrics

We hustled out of Africa
Headed up to Spain
Made it with some natives there
Man, we’ve never be the same
Then we had to go
So we went back East
Couldn’t stand the weather
But at least we found some peace

Moving on
That’s the nature of the beast
We’re moving on

It got a little crowded
So we carried on
To a South Pacific Island
We looked sharp in our sarongs
We’ve been all over
Never settled down
Never felt quite satisfied
We like to get around

Moving on
That’s the nature of the beast
We’re moving on

We sailed across from England
‘Cause we wanted to be free
Four centuries later
We’ve got flat screen TVs
And complicated sex lives
And cheap designer clothes
And purple Slurpees
From stores that never close

Moving on
That’s the nature of the beast
We’re moving on

Standing in a parking lot
On a California night
Looking up at the stars
Something don’t feel right
They ain’t shining brightly
Like they used to do
I’m gonna buy a rocket ship
And get an up close personal view

Moving on
That’s the nature of the beast
I'm moving on

Moving on
That's the nature of the beast
We're moving on

about

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
