  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Not since the band's incredibly popular White Music album has Crack The Sky delivered a collection of pop/rock songs that sting while making you smile. Satirical, smirky commentary, wrapped in up tempo - yes, you can dance to it - music. Writer, Palumbo, has either hit a manic phase or is attempting to get our attention via the back door. In any event, this remarkable band once again, shows their ability to shift gears while keeping their artistic integrity intact. Mixed by Rick Witkowski and includes several songs with the Crack Pack Horns. CD also includes bonus video of the first live performance of Ali’s Song at the New Hazlett Theater.

lyrics

Holding My Breath
I ain’t got nothing but a lot of nothing and a bunch of nothing more
No 401Ks or LMNOPKs and a negative credit score
Well I’m upside down and I’m inside out and I’m a repo man’s erotic dream
All I can do Lord is do like you Lord and pray that you ain’t laughing at me
I’m trying to walk on water
I’m trying to raise the dead
I’m trying to walk on water
I’m holding my breath, holding my breath,
I’m holding my breath

Well I can’t find a job and
I can’t hold the mob back of people coming after me
I can’t renegotiate
I can’t even calculate the terms of my inadequacy
Ain’t got a pot to piss in
Ain’t got a shot of winning the state lottery
All I can do Lord is follow you Lord and hope that you’ll be listening to me

I’m trying to walk on water
I’m trying to raise the dead
I’m trying to walk on water
I’m holding my breath, I’m holding my breath, holding my breath

Now my lady told me that we’re gonna have another
Another mouth to feed
I just hope this baby likes Hamburger Helper
And doesn’t mind peeing in the weeds
Don’t get me wrong Lord, I ain’t complaining
Just telling you how it is
All I can do Lord is follow you Lord and man I hope you’re listening in

I’m trying to walk on water I’m trying to raise the dead
I’m trying to walk on water Holding my breath
I’m trying to walk on water
I’m trying to raise the dead
I’m trying to walk on water
And I’m holding my breath, I’m holding my breath, I’m holding my breath
