Monsoon. Waves washing over the beach front rock buttress. Loud roar. The cave entrance blocked. The kids trapped in there. A labyrinth. Nobody knows where all the caves lead. Are they full of water. How high is the water in the cave tunnels. Are you OK kids. We're in trouble in these games if somebody doesn't find them and lead them out really soon. It continues to rain.

Stan Ridgway (as Drywall): Mr. Smith

Stan Ridgway & Drywall: Mr. Smith (rehearsal, c 1998)

Can I get a light from you, Mr. Smith?
And do you know where the party is?
I've been walking a blue streak all night long
And I'm tired of looking for a place to piss

Can you tell me about yourself, Mr. Smith?
Yeah, me, you can read like an open book
I don't hide myself like some other people do
When there's gristle in the meat, I just swallow and chew

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?

Cast your eyes around, Mr. Smith
Do you see that dog lying in the road?
Coughin' up stuff from a pigeon that died
Hit an eighteen wheeler on the 405

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?

Do you know this neighborhood, Mr. Smith?
Used to be someplace, sometime, somewhere
People built it up from the dirt and dust,
Loanin' out money from an Eastern trust

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,
(And) do you know where the party is?

Roky Erickson: Cold night for alligators (live Oct. '79)

Roky's completely right about that. It's weird following the alligators into the caves, but you gotta do it, if you want to find those kids.

Got to be careful though to keep the gators on a tight leash once they've picked up the scent and you are closing on the kids. They're liable to be in any kind of state by now. You don't want to go making things worse.

Roky: Two Headed Dog (live 1980)

Horror is a searchlight into the bushy darkness that surrounds the cave mouth.
TC27 June 2018 at 05:17
It's not at all hard for me to see Roky working in the Kremlin with a Two Headed Dog.

So natural, in a way.

The Kremlin wouldn't necessarily have put it about, which proves it did happen.
TC27 June 2018 at 05:20
In fact I wouldn't be half surprised to find out those kids are safe and sound inside the Kremlin right now.
TC28 June 2018 at 02:59
It does not look good for those kids.

What is the Kremlin doing to help them.

Flooding at the cave mouth, monsoon season.

I'm worried. I hate my imagination.
