Whole Earth Cataloged
front cover of LP jacket. It reads "WHOLE EARTH CATALOGED" along the top, and in smaller text on the bottom it says "DRAGGING AN OX THRU WATER". There are some collaged black shapes on the white background, but most of the center is taken up by a black and white photo taken from above of someone sitting on some grass in the darkness next to a bright light - there is also a cat with bright reflective eyes visible toward the left. Collaged on top of the photo of are four pressed dogwood blossoms, and one of them has the black silhouette of a fifth blossom partially visible underneath it.

Our Of Zero

Dragging An Ox Through Water

I just wanna play our song tonight
And die under the star of Bethlehem
A creature born of gruel and fire

The maggot specters that slicken your stair
And haunt your practice of being there
The gore will protect you at everyone's cost

Each optimism I never lost is a fetter to kindness
And a guilded anchor,
I'm bound
To the dying world
I've found
Wake me please wake me gong of zero
Wake me please wake me our of zero

A cousin of time whispers always
"So go your nights so go your days"
The lines that traverse you at the cash register

A cousin of time, wingman of force
A swagger that sears through the coarsest shyness
Each I that calls itself by I

You know they're gonna keep remaking Red Dawn
Until we get together and we make
red dawn
From the dying world
It's on
Wake me please wake me gong of zero
Wake me please wake me our of zero

refrain

I just wanna play our song tonight
And dump the hammers out from my rucksack
The police are swimming in every spine

We have been expected on this earth
The we that is wrung by wraiths in its own birth
The past and its claim we all count down

A cousin of time whispers all hours
"Shoot out the clocks when the moment is right" and so
We go
On the dying world
We sew
Wake me please with our song gong of zero
Wake me please with our song our of zero
