lyrics

I live outside in a cardboard box
underneath in the shade of a rickety worm farm
Put there by the big one I run away from
but usually not so far
Food can be found close by to the place where
the big one comes in and out of
and clean water to is sometimes there though
the opossum often makes it dirty
I must share with friend and stranger
and sometimes I am chased away
I do get cold I do get hot
I do get eaten by flea and mosquito
Mostly a safe place is what I want
A safe place is mostly what I want

Late to this disc, but happy to find it. Thinking of Fred Frith at the Pillowtex in Atlanta! Dan Leithauser

Man Out Of Time
by Manna/Mirage

supported by 6 fans who also own “We Sleep Outside”

I feel like the COVID pandemic allowed/forced Dave to really think through and seriously polish his ideas. The songs here all feel so complete, sophisticated, and fully realized--moreso than the previous Manna / Mirage releases. While I've been loving these releases since 2015s Blue Dogs, this is the one I will be listening to the most ten years down the road. GREAT collaborations from all guests and great compositions/ideas from the playful brain of Dave Newhouse. Well done! wafiii
