    ***PLEASE NOTE: The purpose of test pressings is to see what imperfections may exist on the masters the vinyl is being duplicated from, so these MAY NOT BE IN PERFECT PLAYABLE SHAPE. These are more collectors' items than items to be listened to. And they did not come in actual sleeves, so they will be shipped in the inner sleeves they originally came in from the manufacturer.

lyrics

well i’m here to tell you
it’s time for a change
it’s a feeling that i can’t suppress
oozing out of my brain

i’m not telling stories
i’m not being fake
i just think that you’re making
a terrible, awful mistake

C
if you think that god won’t let you fail
‘cause he ain’t gonna be postin’ your bail
he’s got enough to give detail
i don’t mean to take the wind out of your sail

(refrain)

well i gotta tell you
that something’s awry, dear
gonna gather up all of my shit
and say all my goodbyes here

i know there are rumors
but i won’t dispel them
you can tell all the people
who are watching i’ve nothing to tell them

C
so you think that god won’t let you fail?
he ain’t gonna be postin’ your bail
he’s got enough to give detail
i don’t mean to take the wind out of your sail

did you think that love would always win?
and purity would always conquer sin?
i think that heaven lies within
i’m gonna set sail on the boat that i’m in

(refrain x2)

i can’t help you up
and watch you self-destruct
i can’t help you up
and watch you self-destruct
my friend

(intro x2)

(refrain x6)

about

Nice Bison Chicago, Illinois

Nice Bison are a jazz-rock duo from Chicago but their true origins are rooted across a vast musical landscape. Reaching back to the classic rock flavor of Steely Dan, the ragtime sounds of Ben Folds 5, the rootsy feel of The Band and jangly pop of early R.E.M., Nice Bison's sound echoes love, truth, and never holding back. Rituals is a driving tour de force, and deftly avoids the scenic route. ... more
