hallucinate your mind in time
let it float away
hallucinate that you are mine
let it float away
all along you were wrong
you let it float away
hallucinate it won't be long
let it float away
away
away
away
away

daffodilly petals are in bloom
the moment you walk into the room
and each time that i ask you to come in
your head puts my head into a spin
reaching unknown destinations tonight
ride with me i'll take you out of sight
confusion rules where once was sane
patterns in my brain spell out your name
t
his could be coming just in time
love you so much it blows my mind
ride with me
i'll take you out of sight

nvestigating all that is wrong with this place
leaving an impression of you
only thing missing what's wrong with this face
leaving an impression of you
how can i get out of here and get out alive
leaving an impression of you
i'll follow you until you get lost in the sky
following a butterfly

The Ride

i woke up dead and you were there
there you were on my bed
telling me the sun was blue
and there wasn't anything else to do
we took the sled and got the tree
for christmas day you and me
it was big and shiny like a million story airplane standing on its side
we got on and took a ride
the captain said you better hide
no one knows where we're going to
no one knows what we're gonna do
we flew past jupiter we flew past mars
our friends drove by us in their cars
you didn't care neither did i
on this ride we're going to fly
lets do it for the ride
go along for the ride
its a day and nighttime trip
i think i think we're going to flip
look out for the twists
there's one we almost missed
look out for the twists
there's one we almost missed
its a day and nighttime trip i think i think we're gonna flip
its a day and nighttime trip i think i think we're gonna flip

iguana, you're lying awake
think of all the things you take
think of all the love you make
you know it's true
iguana, it's you
iguana you're lying all baked
thoughts you cannot fake
come sailing on your lake
you know it's true
iguana, it's you

i hear you scream
you dream obscene
taking these trips and visits and the fear is gone
i'll visit your mother
i'll visit your brother
but i won't visit you at the funny farm
i hear you scream
lets go over
next to my place
taking these trips and visits then the fear is gone
come on along now
and bring your dolls
taking these trips and visits then the fear is gone
i'll visit your mother
i'll visit your brother
but i won't visit you at the funny farm
i hear you scream

I'm losing, losing touch with my mind
I'm fallin', fallin' way behind
I'm walkin' down a one-way street
I'm tryin', tryin' to find my feet
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright
I'm movin', but I'm goin' no place
I'm thinkin', but my mind's in space
I'm hopin', hopin' to find my aim
I'm aimin', but I don't take the blame
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright
I'm shootin', shootin' off my gun
It's too bad now babe, but it's a lot of fun
I'm livin' like you'd like to live
But I'm wantin' babe what you've got to give
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright, alright

Hey
02:22

Oh, I don't know,
and you can't say.
And even if you could,
You wouldn't any way
Let's go to hell
Hey... hey... hey...
Now I'm in love,
not with he or she
it's a burning hate
why don't they see?
Get your hands off..
Hey.. .hey... hey...
I'm burning now,
like a falling dove
Cause I'm not fit
to fall in love. LOVE?
Hey... hey... hey...
A broken fist
on a swinging arm
A lover's kiss
and I am gone.

loat me through the ocean
letting me slip in
flying around the sun now
let you on the ship again
the walls are really bending
letting me slip in
my mind starts pretending
rollercoaster jumps the track again
stuff in all the things that couldn't fit
too many sounds there goes another hit

about
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 1994 Bakery Records release of Tadpoles' first CD "He Fell Into The Sky", we're releasing "Float Away (Live At CBGB's) exclusively here on Bandcamp only in digital download format.
"Float Away" features the 5-member version of Tadpoles that recorded the "He Fell Into The Sky" album.
Songs 1-7 were recorded and mixed live direct from CBGB's soundboard to CBGB's cassette master recording system. No overdubs were added to the recording. The show, on Friday, August 13th, 1993, was the final performance of this 5-member version of Tadpoles as drummer Michael Kite Audino and guitarist Andrew Jackson Shapiro departed the group shortly thereafter.
Songs 8-10 were recorded live in rehearsal to cassette 4-track at B&L Studio, Manhattan, NY on April 22, 1993 in preparation for the studio recording sessions for Tadpoles - He Fell Into The Sky album.
Recorded with rehearsal room overhead mics and the vocals through the board. The limitations of the recording system are evident throughout as there are level fluctuations and distortions. Tadpoles often covered Spacemen 3's "Losing Touch With My Mind" throughout the 90's, but of note is the version of Butthole Surfer's "Hey" which marks guitarist/vocalist, Nick Kramer's lead vocal debut with the band.
The He Fell Into The Sky album was recorded in a 2-day marathon session at Kramer's Noise New Jersey studio in April 1993. Essentially, the band played the songs live in the studio and only overdubbed vocals and a few additional guitar enhancements. It was then mixed the following day after a few hours of sleep on Kramer's studio floor.

It’s no secret of the big love here for Tadpoles, or the debt owed to them for this ‘confluence of many rivers’ and a wealth of astounding waves. It’s been 20 years since Bakery Records released their first CD He Fell Into the Sky, and head ‘pole Todd Parker has seen fit to mark the occasion with a special release of Tadpoles live at CBGB’s, and then some. Float Away, featuring the final performance of the 5-member line-up that recorded He Fell Into the Sky, was taken from a performance in August of ’93. Cuts 8-10 are were recorded live at a rehearsal in Manhattan as Tadpoles were getting ready to record He Fell Into the Sky with legendary producer/musician Kramer. Float Away also features their take on Spacemen 3′s Losing Touch With My Mind, a live staple for ’poles in the ’90s,and Butthole Surfers’ Hey ‘which marks guitarist/vocalist, Nick Kramer’s lead vocal debut with the band.’ Other than Destroy Terrastock, live offerings from Tadpoles are scant, making this much more than a milepost marker or a snapshot. Float Away is a generously bare, raw, and intimate offering for marking the anniversary, above and beyond being another live document or simply a curio
