I’m an ancient Rush,Yes,Genesis,ELP,Floyd,Zep ,DPurple,Tull,Suptramp, you name it, back in 1994 at a musicland store in Dallas Tx. I heard a demo which I immediately fell in like with, it was KOD Cowboys and Aliens, and I bought all their collection, I like to listen to this band, It’s such a shame they disintegrated, very underrated, it is simply, excelent music !

Elephant in drought-struck shock is trumpeting her grief.
Stays with her dying baby trunk stroking dry and persued
She dies too.

If you haven’t already, you might like to check out their other songs: personally, I’d recommend ‘the 3rd time we opened the capsule’; ‘sand on fire’; ‘railwayed’ and ‘in a cave’. One of my favourite bands ever. S.t.p’s song ‘pruno’ is in a similar vein. Delight in.
