"The Tame Satyr Sessions" are impromptu recording sessions at Team Stray's practice space where various friends are invited to come and write and record songs on the spot using a few structure rules, D&D dice, and our wits. Tom Stray records and mixes everything with feedback from folks involved. The songs available here represent the best of the results so far. More are forthcoming.
lyrics
TROUBLE'S ALL YOU KNOW
(for our good friend Paul Kopp)
living downtown
the heat is off, the window's broke
and I am watching as you patch it with a trail of smoke
it follows us to desolation and a desert home
a walkabout together leads to endless nights alone
and I think there's a way out
to another road
it's time for me to go
'cause trouble's all you know
living uptown
an empty bottle right below
heavy winds and counting sins beneath the endless snow
