lyrics

"Don't you dare to fall asleep, little one!
There'll be time anon for slumber... by and by!!"

Moonlight casting tree branch shadows on the bedroom wall
Just gotta make it to the door and then make it to the end of the hall
Swing my feet over the side of the bed and slowly down to the floor
Tiptoeing through the dark more quietly than ever before

I got grandpa's hand claws runnin' for me
I got grandpa's hand claws gunnin' for me
I got ten steps to go and grandpa's hand claws comin' for me

The house creaks and a floorboard squeaks in the dead of the night
My pulse quickens and my breathing thickens as my chest gets tight
Creeping around never making a sound for the sake of my life
Don't despair almost there but I swear I saw the glint of a knife

"The abstruse magic of the hours after the sun goes down—
how it may afflict those minds susceptible to its wonder,
those imaginations wild, with the sights and sounds,
indiscernible and arcane, in the dark of night...."

I got grandpa's hand claws runnin' for me
I got grandpa's hand claws gunnin' for me
I got ten steps to go and grandpa's hand claws comin' for me

about

Googolplexia Missouri

With his electric banjo and ukulele, accordion and trombone kazoo, Robert Severson has crafted Saint Louis, Missouri's Googolplexia into a one-man outsider vaudeville. Severson stomps, claps, and gurgles into the disparate, cobwebbed corners of American music and sometimes beyond. Expect screwball theatrics at their most hand-embroidered. ... more

Wild Dreamin'

The newest and best Dubb Nubb record. It makes me proud to know them and be their best friend, tour buddy, biggest fan, and split EP co-contributor. We must tour together again one day. Googolplexia

Army of Words
by Zoe Rose Palladino

I'll be surprised at myself if I don't incorporate a Zoe Rose tune or two into the Googolplexia live act along the way. Googolplexia

Hit Factory

This album is a perfectly eclectic blend of righteous tunes. Coolzey is one of my favorite artists on the road today. Such a swell, handsome guy, too! Googolplexia
