2.	Ain't No Grave (Pandemic Edition) 04:56	lyrics	buy track
Well, there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down There ain't no grave gonna hold my body down I hear the trumpet sound, I gotta get up out the ground 'cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down Now come down yonder, Gabriel Put your foot on the land and see But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet Until you hear from me We come up from the river What do you think we see? We see the plague horse riding And it’s comin' after me But there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down There ain't no grave gonna hold my body down I hear the trumpet sound, I gotta get up out the ground 'cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down Now, listen up good people It's later than you think Let’s keep the party indoors Go on, pour another drink So, keep your wits about you Sheltered home, all safe and warm Love your people, brothers, sisters And we’ll make it through the storm Someday the sun will shine upon our faces And we’ll all meet up outside No one will ever have to say I wish I were alive There ain’t no grave There ain’t no grave Ain’t no tomb No mausoleum Gonna hold my body down There ain’t no grave There ain’t no grave Ain’t no tomb No mausoleum Gonna hold my body down

5.	Vax Grinder 01:31	lyrics	buy track
Holy crap, it's been a whole year Actually, it's more than a year Everyone's been stuck in-side Making sure we all don't die Wearing masks and and biding our time Hey, do you remember your friends? Hey, do you remember outside? There's a chance that we all could Get our old lives back real soon Hug a stranger or Grandma THANKS TO SCIENCE! Now that we have all these vaccines (don't fear the needle) Get shots, get back to the live scene (you'll barely feel it) Do it for you and your Mother (HEY, VAX-HOLE!) You've got three choices And guess what? THEY'RE ALL GOOD! Moderna or Pfizer or Jansen, they all work Just get a vaccine So you get the anti-B's It's just a quick stick Please, don't be a plague dick Please, go get your vaccine today

about

Recorded 100% in social isolation from band member's individual crypts during the height of the pandemic quarantime and social justice protests of 2020, 'Dead Air' is a look back at how we spent our time collectively apart. Part AM afterlife fantasia and part audio scrapbook commemorating this time of physical separation, we offer these tracks as a balm to the madness of 2020.
