meet the beat and feel the heat it raging bounce off floors and hit the doors its lazy lazy men burning trees insane ladies like it all to well its crazy popcorn popping laughing not but joking feet all twisted balance kept how silly lazy men chained in fence enslaved ladies like it but not in this way worlds collide when egos meet its tempting check the lists as other burn their tongues out bursting brain blackout causes sickness to heal ladies dancing prancing in the hall at the ball their singing laughing shouting joking in the stall their lives are ending fast lazy men burning trees insane Ladies, Ladies, may I have this dance? okay.... 1.2.3..1.2.3..

The sudden shock of the light caused blindness painted in orange screaming with the streaming tears, she cried invisible sirens burst your ears first orange brown black blackout... from the blackout... from the blackout Suddenly colors disappear no more orange brown black the pain is deep you suffer from the blackout ... from the blackout... from the blackout... from the blackout ahhh... I like it in the morning when it is still dark I just wish it weren't so cold just wish it weren't so cold ahhh... from the blackout... oh.. from the blackout... ah.. from the blackout...

The snake that I had captured got away went to play didn't say the things that I would like it to and so I felt like screaming cause I couldn't get the snake to speak it just would keep on hissing, hissing bitching. my thoughts go out entirely for snake bites never heal and that poor unknowing boy who is dead tried to warn him tried to teach him of the things of danger keep him from the things of harm but he didn't listen cause they never do - little boys and now I sit here wondering why I didn't fry the snake in grease and eat it - I could use the food and little boys would still be living laughing shouting screaming when they do not get their way so maybe it is better to keep the snakes alive keep them free - let them do just what they want to and maybe I am glad to see the killing streak continue it's survival of the fittest of the bravest of the wisest of the law... of the law should have stayed at home, my little boy and watched your rose and kept your planet clean should have stayed at home... the boy with the rose with the boy with the rose...

Your head was shaking I want to cheer you I want to take your doubts away maybe I'll just have to wait.. to wait it makes me sad to hear your cry it shakes me up when tears fall I seek answers I seek answers I seek answers questions are obvious who's to blame?

silent in our rocking chairs our hairs are standing straight it's late their crawling on the floor pounding on our ears so we can't hear this penetration to this darkness i'll reside and here I'll hide no sense in what you're telling me no sense in what you're telling me no sense in your position you are fiction you can try and tease me try and please me and who's to blame - it's you not me its you not me this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore immune to all the tiny (clocks) that try to wake us but we sleep and keep pressing buttons as it rings. and still you try to wake me try to brake me but here I'll weep no sense in what you're telling me no sense in wanting to be free no sense in your position you are fiction you can try and tease me try and please me its you not me breathing in the thin air is prolonging life sinking falling huddled in the corner at the ball this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore ... on the floor will lead to more my aching feet, however, will not budge still you try to wake me try to brake me try to wake me try to brake me ... maybe dangerous it may be best to save the rest it's your turn polluting flags respect for man polluting seven papers in the air its there.. everywhere this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more no reason to go thirsty anymore this dripping faucet I adore forever dripping giving more....

and they're killing the future and I know we've seen better days and I hear all their laughing disregarding the past (missed line)... and minds full of new ideas with nothing to help us and nothing to feel and my everyday feelings that stand in your way keep pushing keep fighting with nothing to say.
10.
could I handle myself if others weren't around can I carry your weight if you held me down and when I mess up will you remain the same abort the sinner burn the crooks and nothing will remain my purse is empty mind is full and mercy's knocking down my door I crack my whip I chain the slave even though they don't exist the clutter of the rubble the burning of the trees and empty stone in sinking sand is causing our disease excess jelly in our toes excess steam floating low excess power, excess guilt excess mind control because of me... because of me.
11.
You cannot be my ghost you are too quick to anger run and hide run and hide run and hide run and hide wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin no one sees no one sees no one sees no one sees you cannot hear my voice you cannot make the choices run and hide run and hide run and hide run and hide wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin no one sees no one sees no one sees no one sees run and hide run and hide run and hide run and hide wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin no one sees no one sees no one sees no one sees run and hide run and hide run and hide run and hide wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin wearing thin no one sees no one sees no one sees no one sees the cause

night falls white halls balconies of ice sliding lawns fields send me away when you're made of gold molds and monument stole an hour's time and still someday we will talk again friends that keep you up in times of need friends who lie to keep you on your feet friends who don't count lives by what they see me, I'm just the cold ash on the heat when you see me calling my mind's on a string when you hear me holler my mind's on a string when you see me falling my mind's on a string and still someday I will stretch out and weep. spirit life calls green with eyes of blue soon you'll see nights dark and friendly smile roller car doors slam on my support left with drawings of people I once knew.

about

Pivot Clowj never had rehearsals. Robert and I would get together and make the background tracks for the upcoming show (each show had a unique backing set), then we would just sort of take a copy for ourselves and listen to them on our own time and decide what we were going to play. Most of the time, we didn't know how the set would turn out until it happened. Some of the shows were great and some were not so great. These are some of my favorite moments from the performances that we did from 1995 to 1997.

The cover photo is a collection of flyers from this era. I have also added a few other images of archives from the scrapbook.

Special thanks to Robert Gutschow, Byron Kane, John Kopko, and Craig Wilson for always being supportive for live shows, lending equipment when I needed a PA or extra tape machine or DAT machine, and recording some of these sets to make this collection possible. Special thanks to Dan at Kinkos (at the time we put on these shows) for always helping us out with flyers.
