You never fell for anyone No one could tell you not to stare into the sun Suiting up and crashing in You newest dawn set to begin Just like a hundred other ones You never fell for anyone But now they tell you suckers walk, it’s time to run The way seems clear up ahead Obscured by horned figureheads Bow to King Snowflake in the sun His melting eyes looks like god to everyone Bow to King Snowflake and you’ll learn That you never bow down when your back is turned You only have to wait around To find your heroes are no different than clowns Greatness seemingly unique Tumbling from cars with 20 other freaks Bow to King Snowflake in the sun His melting eyes looks like god to everyone Bow to King Snowflake and you’ll learn That you never bow down when your back is turned You never fall for anyone A lie’s rebirth is begun Bow to King Snowflake in the sun His melting eyes looks like god to everyone Bow to King Snowflake and you’ll learn That you never bow down when your back is turned You should never bow down when your back is turned

Feeling slick but looking gunky Red and Gold, cushy, clunnky Karaoke trying to be funky Fake ID acting drunky Chinatown Green tea junky Month old doggy bag in the trunky Big hair with suburban hunky Number five grade school flunky Twice divorced feeling spunky Spare changing trust fund punky

When this began I was talking with my dad About the ways we thought it maybe could go I reminisced about when I was a kid And the morbid thoughts I couldn’t control A drama queen who thought he’d end up on the list And be waiting for a knock on the door Never suspected I’d be lining up for bread Like a Muscovite in 1924 Hard to believe we’ve been cooped up for a year But the calendar and time never lie It seems so normal now and that’s the thing That’s gonna make me wanna break down and cry But wait, there’s more, seems every single day Brings us news we know we’d rather never hear And so I’m back to those murky daydreams And my rote authoritarian fears A bullet in the back of the neck In the basement of the Lubyanka A bullet in the back of the neck In the basement of the Lubyanka “Lavrenty what became of us And all our expectations? Through long nights Deep chills frights All alone” It’s fair to say I’ve read a lot of Bulgakov And Solzhenitsyn, Pilnyak, and Trotsky But it didn’t take a scholar on the 6th To see how perilously close we may be Now it’s tempting to declare we’re moving on We were lucky that they’re so inept But we all saw it and the fools don’t know We’re just a couple little lazy baby steps from A bullet in the back of the neck In the basement of the Lubyanka A bullet in the back of the neck In the basement of the Lubyanka

about

A pandemic album! A sonic and lyrical reflection on where we at! A bunch of shit from iPhone memos that needed clearing and refused to become real songs!

Despite only vague plans to record again after our 2019 single, “Sugar is the Devil,” new songs made themselves known and before long, Jeff, Doug, and I decided to make good use of the so-called quiet of pandemic slowdown to remotely record what has turned out to be the first all-new Betty Goo album since 1997’s ‘gooicide’! It’s a full-length by our terms: 10 songs, clocking in at 18 minutes. Now, *that’s* Betty Goo!

about

Aaron Tap Los Angeles, California

Aaron Tap is terrible at branding. So he releases shit from both his current band Frank Shirts and, lately, the resurrected Boston trio Betty Goo, and maybe someday even a solo record. There are themes, yeah, but mostly it's whatever spirit moves the music that decides what name it goes by.

Aaron also plays and sings with Matt Nathanson, the Paula Kelley Orchestra, and Populuxe.
