In This Space Verse 1: A squeaking seesaw returns to the opposite side Open my eyes, my mind goes into overdrive Sepia tones overload, My head begins to explode From the fact that there's no one there Random dry patches scratch The bottoms of bare feet I sit on a swing What I see looks really neat Robot children approaching the park Almost dark Illuminating spaces with Glowing grinning faces Chorus: Clockwork species Join other creatures Too small for The eyes to comprehend Every fiber Of my being Tells me to stop pretending I'm the only one here Existing in this space Verse 2: With every step closer I see robots personal sides Characteristics not programmed On a standard hard drive Smiles outside reflect smiles inside My head starts to implode From fun and creativity download Now they've gone back To wherever they were before Leaving me with sounds like large squeaking garage doors I sit in my swing Nothing but creativity Installed in my brain And a need to not be plain

Rewind My Mind Verse 1: In the Dark There is a light I’m travelling towards The Past and it’s Life And there I feel I’ll find the Key. Chorus: The answer to the questions That have been asked so many times We can find a new beginning If I can Rewind My Mind Verse 2: Echoes of the Past Brought back to life May hold the keys to the future And help to relieve the strife So there I’ll search for the Key Chorus: The answer to the questions That have been asked so many times We can find a new beginning If I can Rewind My Mind Verse: I’ll play my part In this masquerade I’ll take life’s lemons Make Lemon Marmalade And spread it on my Scones Chorus: The answer to the questions That have been asked so many times We can find a new beginning If I can Rewind My Mind Listen to me, my friends We’ve been here before We can start life anew If we just walk through that door Rewind My Mind Rewind My Mind We can find a new beginning If we just Rewind Our Minds

Jellyfish Holiday Verse 1 Here I am just another day gone Walking outside in the rays of the sun Taking a trip till the day is done Making this day a day that’s won On this trip is me and my crew My best friends with nothing to do Walking down the street with a new attitude Trying this out doing something new Here we are walking on dry land After everybody said that we can’t Take this time to load up the van And tour the states as soon as we can A road trip is all that we need To start it out and plant the seen A cellophane sized idea So that you know that it was me, yeah Pre-Chorus All we need is a vacation Chorus How should I find my happy place? Is it in that hole over there? Why is the journey such a trip? Why do I keep coming here? I’ll not forgive you for this All you liars and you cheats And all you hypocrites Bye-bye Verse 2 Out there where there is no air Under the sea I wouldn’t have a care Making sure that I would not see Everything there that seems to be Alright, but I want to know What it’s like to live down below I’ve been cheated out Of that life without a doubt There’s a big hole in my chest Look at my face I would not jest I long to live where it is wet I’ve been a good boy is this all that I get I need to be where there is no greed Lies and deceits, sales and receipts Away from all of the people Sara, sue, Lars, & Cecil Pre-Chorus All we need is a vacation Chorus How should I find my happy place? Is it in that hole over there? Why is the journey such a trip? Why do I keep coming here? I’ll not forgive you for this All you liars and you cheats And all you hypocrites How should I find my happy place? Is it in that hole over there? Why is the journey such a trip? Why do I keep coming here? I’ll not forgive you for this All you liars and you cheats And all you hypocrites Bye-bye Now I have found my happy place! Yes, it was in that hole over there! The journey was such a trip! Why don’t you come over here? I’ll still not forgive you for this All you liars and you cheats And all you hypocrites Bye-bye

Ghosts 04:58
Ghosts Verse 1: I see you in the moonlight And in the middle of the night Your faces sending chills down my spine I listen to your noises That you make in your houses Whether real or past incarnate, I’m just fine Chorus: There’s a bumping in the closet And a handprint on the wall And beginning to think That I’m not alone at all There’s faces in the mirror And a presence in the air I’m never alone in This place Full of shadows of despair Lets make a toast Cause I’m seeing ghosts. Verse 2: Your body makes me shiver Every time you pass me by I feel like someone’s dancing on my grave Cause I’ve seen those signs before And ignored them once and again But this time I’m taking a stand (Chorus) Bridge: Skulls and bones and palindromes Twist my world and match my tone Blood and brains and internal guts Drain the soul of all your lust Ghosts who fly throughout the house I have strength, I’ll crush all doubts And of the men who have no fear I’ll crush your spirit, all who near (Chorus)

The Dirt Jazz Saloon Verse 1: Well a long time ago In a city out West Sat a mighty baby grand And I think you might’ve guessed This piano was played night and day Until one day that her owner ran away Baby Grand just sat there twinkling her keys But that beautiful melody just swayed with the breeze You see, Ol’ Jimmy, in search of fortune & Fame Just wanted someone to remember his name When Jim was a child, he could barely stand To be without an instrument in his hand It had become his life and consumed every thought And left him with a shadow of doubt “Do I wanna sit at a bar, killing my kidneys? No, that won't go far. When I could play music out in New York City?” And with that left town in a jiffy. Chorus: Welcome to the Dirt Jazz Saloon Where the whiskey’s cheap And the bartenders croon And in the light of the Moon It’s a nice place to sleep At least, that’s what I’d Assume Verse 2: Jim walked through that big bright city of lights But could feel that something just wasn’t right Though completely alone he had the sudden thought That someone was following him in the dark You see little did he know, but he would soon find out That the saloon piano was up and about He quickened his pace and ran to a cab But could feel that same presence as he got in the back He looked up and saw the startling truth He was being followed by the piano from the Saloon But with a swift hit from the fall of the boom The piano took Ol’ Jim back home to the saloon to his doom Chorus: Welcome to the Dirt Jazz Saloon Where the whiskey’s cheap And the bartenders croon And in the light of the Moon It’s a nice place to sleep At least, that’s what I’d Assume

Rubber Ducks Look! Someday in the future, Scientists will be firing satellites into space. If you are not ready and do not know what to do, it can hurt you in different ways. Verse 1: Look at what I have found Can you believe That he came back to me? Something so grand Like the force of the sea Those two rubber eyes Staring up at me Verse 2: What could be so cool, I can hear you say. My favorite toy and me We’re reunited today. What could be so neat, What do I want anyway? All this fuss about things That don’t matter, some say.

World Domination Swing VERSE 1 You thought you could escape the day My grinning face would be on display Every billboard, every sign That happy visage, yes it’s mine. Now listen up, here is my plan Your fate is now in my hands With my finger on the switch I’ll leave opposition in a ditch VERSE 2 My UFOs , they will fly It’s time for MY slice of the pie Grab your toys, let’s play Take part in my D-Day Soirée CHORUS So dance until tomorrow night While I align my satellite In the glow of the arc light Your life will change overnight No one will expect a thing The world will be my plaything Listen to this song I sing The World Domination Swing VERSE 3 So let the robots march around While I play this swinging sound With laser beams I’ll take you down If I see you make a frown With my charged up Dancing Ray 1 blast & you’ll dance the night away Let me set the record straight You’ve already sealed your fate

Be Careful What You Wish For (Extended Version) Verse 1: As I walk through the bunker tunes on my radio I hear that There’s a Professor who likes to trade blows Now his tunes are good for dancing and getting down But I hear he thinks That he’s the Baddest Man around Look at you Mr. Fancy Shorts and matching funny hat they sure lowered the bar when it comes to being bad And your accent is making me go more insane Than that time I had a microchip installed in my brain You sing the praise of Caruana, all the songs that he produces Tell me when was the last time you had an instrument in your hands This song that plays behind me I record, produce, and edit Not to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT, oh just forget it…. Chorus: You say you're the best around- Be Careful What You Wish For! I say that you're just a clown- Be Careful What You Wish For! You brought this upon yourself- Be Careful What You Wish For! Just get off this Carousel- Be Careful What You Wish For! Verse 2: Yes you got an ape, well mighty that's cute But we Toy Soldiers, we got ourselves multitudes of grinning robots, They're armed to the teeth with their DropBear Cannons And the Wolverine Trebuchet’s pointed in your direction And if that wasn't enough when your sleeping late at night, Our hamsters sneak in, creep in, and they will swipe All your English Breakfast and your Earl Grey too Then party like it was 1892 I don't think you grasp the gravity of the situation The whole world at your fingers in this social generation You better watch who you ask to make a dis song about you You never know who might be sending you right back home to school Chorus: You say you're the best around- Be Careful What You Wish For! I say that you're just a clown- Be Careful What You Wish For! You brought this upon yourself- Be Careful What You Wish For! Just get off this Carousel- Be Careful What You Wish For! Verse 3: I don’t think you comprehend what you’ve started. Do you think that one nod would be enough? Everyone knows how you are, when you start spitting bars A chap hop diamond in the rough But my band is come back to make you see, That the future of music lies with me, Because you ignored my first verse, and a reply takes longer Than The wait for Doctor Who on my tv. You think your studio album is the tops, Well take a listen Professor, I’ve got zero investors And my handmade, handcrafted albums 1 & 2 Will spin circles around Caruana & you.

about

"Watch Children," the second full-length album from Dr. Malice & The Absinthetic Orchestra, is as weird and as wonderful as you would expect the follow-up to their debut album to be.

From the opening chords of the dramatic Industrial-inspired "In This Space," to the off-kilter funk of "Jellyfish Holiday", and throughout the silly sci-fi of "Rubber Ducks," Dr. Malice & The Absinthetic Orchestra delivers the Fun and creative experience you've come to know and love!
