Good people, I present to you the most amazing curative The Slow Poisoner's elixir and fixative My astounding nerve tonic is good for all that's chronic Do you suffer from St. Vitus dance? Epilepsy, colic, cramps? Delirium tremens, cholera, consumption, and the fits? Made with genuine Egyptian oil Destroys all barnacles and boils An aid in sleep you will find you float On a velvet pillow to your great reward One dose for adults and two for children Take with milk or gasoline The first bottle for you is... free

We were riding through the desert Somewhere near groom lake We pulled off of the highway Cuz we had a piss to take And we knew we was in trouble As soon as the sun went down There were saucers in the air And creatures beaming to the ground Well we unpacked the magic orb And chanted “SOS” To call our friend the Poisoner With first initial ‘S’ And it shot right through the ether To the San Francisco Bay Where it reached him at a seance With the spirit of the day So he put a kit together He packed each piece in turn Then he hitched a ride With a south-bound hot rod worm And he kept adding turbo fuel Until they reached the speed of sound So you couldn’t hear them coming Til they’d already gone around He had ectoplasmic mortars And giant Burmese ticks He had fresh roots from the Congo And poisoned pixie sticks He had a neural pulse disrupter He even had a Chinese curse He had every trick and tool To make unwanted things disperse So he assessed the situation He kicked open every stall He saw we were surround by A thousand slimy blobs And he jumped up on the truck With brimstone in his eye He gave them one last chance To hit the road or die But they didn’t move an inch And the Poisoner was pissed He opened up his jacket And stuck his hand inside his vest He started spraying course white powder From both sides of his fist And those thing just popped and sizzled And they melted as they hissed I had to ask him for his secret And with a smile upon his face He said that when you’re fighting Slugs from outer space You need an ancient deadly microbe From Tutankhamen’s vault But as he drove away I found an empty bag of Morton’s salt

about

Tracks from the ultra-limited edition 7" vinyl picture disc featuring The Slow Poisoner and Serious Long Beach.

The Slow Poisoner is San Francisco's one-man surrealistic rock band. Americana with a touch of psychedelia.

Serious Long Beach is where the forces of Dave Serious (aka Shameless, guitarin' and yammerin') and Long Beach Huntington (Harmonicin', guitarin', basin', and yammerin') come together to reshape selected songs.
