about

Great for dancing while driving.

Wack Synapse is a slightly off-kilter danceable rock song about creative thinking. With a nod and wink to Zappa and Beck, automatic writing and stream of conscious lyrical imagery capture the thrill of invention. Unexpected twists in the composition keep it moving forward.

When a wack synapse hits your brain
You get a big idea and they tell you it’s insane
But then a black, black day begins to look OK.

lyrics

I’m not talking ‘bout the wax on my floor
Not talking ‘bout the wax in my ears
I’m not talking ‘bout a rap on my door
Or anything you hear
Or anything you've read
Or anything you might have written

Whack… synapse hits my brain

I’m not talking ‘bout polishing my car
Or going for a ride
Not talking ‘bout whacking a baseball hard enough
To get an inside-the-park homerun
I’m just talking about the way that it feels

When a wack synapse hits your brain
You get a big idea and they tell you it’s insane
But then a black black day begins to look OK

I got an idea
Made a plan
Which gives me hope
Now all I need is a five-gallon can
A couple of paperclips
And a piece of rope

I’ve not fallen from my tree
Just up to see what I can see

I’m not talking ‘bout whacking my boss
Or yanking my dental floss
Not thinking ‘bout rhyming every stupid word
Until I get my point across
Just talking about the way that it feels

When a wack synapse hits your brain
You get a big idea and they tell you it’s insane
But then a black black day begins to look OK

I got an idea
Made a plan
Which gives me hope
Now all I need is a radiator fan
About a dozen hula-hoops
And a bucket of soap
Gonna make spectacular trouble
Once I find my hose
