about

Dionysus, Pan, Loki, John Belushi, whatever name you choose for the spirit of the mischievous prankster, and the bounty of the harvest. It comes down to a celebration of life here on the ground. Why should the divine be an exclusive dinner party, when the sacrament hangs on the vine? We look towards celebration as an escape and simultaneous embrace of the troubles of the world. Bacchus had his barrel, but we have modern convenience! The blood of our lord now comes in a box.

lyrics

Pull out a box of Jesus
Crack open your savior in a can
Pour out his grace, one ounce at a time
Liver’s washed in the blood of the lamb

Crack open them saltine crackers
throw a loaf of Velveeta on the board
It’s Costco-sized, so eat your fill
Every bite is a piece of the lord

Chorus

Trade in that warm tap water
Toss out that moonshine in the pail
Fill up a pint from that cardboard tap
Turn you solo cup into the Holy Grail

Chorus

At supper his blood turns to Cabernet
As he lays out his body on the dish
Judas likes to moonlight as a Sommelier
Thinks a Pinot would go better with this fish

Chorus

Modus Opera & Eye Vallejo, California

The soundtrack for the foolish Borracho looking for salvation. Finding it in a cup, or on the road, or maybe behind the sofa.
