Breeders, The - Archangel's Thunderbird Lyrics






When the everywhere-eye asks you:
“Who is the emperor of the sky?”
Take the Archangel's Thunderbird

Go to Edgar Allen
In the tower of sleep
He'll tell you a story
Which makes you to creep
The echo of your cries is falling so deep

Rent a destroyer and sail to Cape Cod
There lives a lion, they call him God
There is your elevator to Eden
But a hole in the sky

In shock-corridors standing
People with their eyes in their hands
But they don't understand
Don’t get with your confessional
Flare into the vaulting flight of stairs

Baiting soldiers sleeping in melting house of wax
Why is the audience not taking the resurrection ax
Thousands of windows burst open
And the alarm bells are broken

    A magnificent cover. Most of us didn't even know this song before now. I'm sure you know this already, but the world sincerely loves you, Breeders! Thanks for making music our own.

  18. E.... ....

    Alas, it lacks the menace of Amon Duul II

    E.... ....

    Joyful exuberant menace

  19. N.... d....

    Only Amon Duul can do Amon Duul. This is doesn't catch the bleakness of the original

    N.... d....

    Joyful, exuberant bleakness. I like it, & great to see as an homage.

    N.... d....

    I didn't like this cover at first, but then I realized they we're doing it breeders style!

    N.... d....

    Yeah, it’s The Breeders resurrecting Amon Duul II. Personally, I very much appreciate and was filled with glee by this. I love Yeti and I love The Breeders.

  20. R.... K....

    Amon Duul II has lots of timeless songs that would make good modern covers

  21. S.... A....

    So stoked when I heard the Breeders were covering this -- underappreciated jam, nailed by Kim et al. Thanks for sharing!

  22. c.... ....

    So jealous!
