Zru Vogue performed at a fab party in Arlington. Happy birthday, Russ!
And it feels just like falling into quicksand
And it feels just like fading into gray
And it feels just like melting into water
You rise out of yourself and float away
― from “Falling Into Quicksand” by Zru Vogue
“See Thru Head” by Zru Vogue, from the album Eleven Eyes.
“Another Near Future” lyrics by Andrew L. Jackson as performed by Zru Vogue on Eleven Eyes (CD 2009)
“Where’s the joke? A punch line should go here. Or at least a chorus, or a funky break you can dance to.”
Lyrics to the song “Nakweda Dream” as recorded by Zru Vogue in 1980. Words copyright 1980 Andrew L. Jackson, music by Jackson/Cuevas/Sanders.

Alfred has a shiny car
And he likes to drive on the avenue
Alfred drives a motorcar
And the boulevard is a pleasant view
I’ll put it in the driveway
I’ll take it to the airport
I’ll pull it in the carport
I’ll put it in my pocket
Alfred has a shiny car
And he drives it out on the motorway
Alfred drives a motorcar
And it’s obvious this is heaven’s way
I’ll form a new religion
I’ll feed it to the pigeons
I’ll take it going shopping
I’ll put it in the carport
Alfred has a shiny car
And he drives it out on the avenue
Say, Alfred lives with Mary Jane
In a tiny cottage with an ocean view
I’ll do the job of mystics
I’ll study ‘pataphysics
I’ll take up elocution
I’ll find my own solutions
God is infinitely small
I am infinitely tall
I bought a new revolver
I keep it at my bedside
