It may have been a picnick
Pine needles blanket the forest floor
Maybe a bright lit room
With a dozen identically closed doors
But you shook me out
Of a dream I can't remember
I only know that you were there
Just a quantum daytime napper
No piece of former spin survives
But a charge into action
My heart pounds away from the horizon
Cause you shook me out
Of a dream I can't remember
Now my head is spinning round

I got like twenty-seven pigs these days
I’m not farmer or nothin’ just got all these pigs
Well, there’s Sammy and PJ and Eli
The others I never got round to namin’
Well, I’m firin’ up the grill
Cuz these pigs only eat warm pineapple
I’ve tried to get ‘em to eat the squirrels
But, well, they didn’t take to the idea
I’ve been thinkin about my future lately
While the pigs never think of tomorrow
3 (loveonamixtape)
And the pigs shoot first
And ask questions never
While we gather around
The trash fire together
And the state don't care
Unless you make them
And the stakes are there
For you to see them
Oh my darling
Won't you save me from this doomsday scenario
We've got a long way to go
4 (sapient)
Death priest
Cast the runes
Let the way be born in fire
Portal
Torn in time
Dark passage
Open to Ninazu's realm
A long way (falling faster)
Breath of heaven (falling faster)
The Elan star (falling faster)
It's a long way to go...

Amsterdam centraal, I leave the train
One of a million visitors 'round here
Nemo, Paradiso, Open tuin
so many things to choose now I am near
The first I do is renting some old bike
annoying local fietsers on their way
The bike lock is as heavy as my cycle back home

I still remember the first time I arrived at Amsterdam Centraal and it felt like I'd arrived on a different planet. The city means different things to different people and oh wow, there are some interesting facets on display here. This is great and wildly improbable as it may seem, fits together as a whole perfectly!

Amsterdam rocks. The stitching works so well like patches on a quilt . Yet such contrasting styles! Fab!

What a ride!!!
@sph Feb 2022
My bad ;-) When I read that @sapient wanted to be in this group because he lives in Amsterdam I got the impression I had to describe some of my experiences there.
Now the whole thing appears to be a strange dream on the train before - doodeedoo - waking up, leaving the station and entering the town...
@nadine : I didn't listen to the contributions other than @sapient's last 10 sec before recording my part.
@loveonamixtape Feb 2022
Oh this is so fun to hear how this turned out! Love how this makes a dark, absurd, apocalyptic kind of sense as it progresses, then doodeedoo, nothing to see here, just a nice day in Amsterdam, ha! And BRILLIANTLY stitched, @sph ! So fun, well done, all!
@the3queens Feb 2022
This was stitched together so well, probably best one I've heard, especially considering the completely different styles of the songwriters. These exquisite corpses are so much fun.
@judypie Feb 2022
Exquisite corpsing! :D
@emplate Feb 2022
Hahah, lovely stuff! Great takes all, and the development of drama is also superb!
@nadine Feb 2022
Lol this is completely random from an acoustic pig farmer to a death metal priest. Interesting that near all went acoustic. Stephan couldn't know. Hmmm?
@mishykatz Feb 2022
Wow, this is wonderful and weirderful love it!
@sapient Feb 2022
My goodness, this is about as exquiste as a corpse can be.
The build through each section with things slowly getting more apocalyptic is so nicely rounded off by a lovely day out in the 'Dam.
Great work everyone - yay us! :D
@grenzgaengerin Feb 2022
Great collaboration - congratulation!
So diverse and yet so well matched. Great work
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
"The pigs shoot first and questions never" Love it, @loveonamixtape!
Part of me (a small part) wondered if @sapient would go acoustic. Glad he went loud per usual.
I had fun on this; it was my first time trying to not just take a complete left turn in an Exquisite Corpse, but rather to blend to the musical style of the previous.
@gflatminor Feb 2022
Oh that sweet transition from @loveonamixtape to @sapient!
Quite the journey all the way through. I love the long-way-to-go theme through to the end.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Well, that was unexpected! I knew when I saw @sapient on this, that it was going to take a turn, and I wasn't disappointed. The cycle home at the end almost felt like it was a time of whistling through a devastated landscape of the previous section.
@ballyhoot Feb 2022
OMG! This corpse, like, has multiple personality disorder. So unpredictable! What a ride! Thoroughly enjoyable.
