about

Believe it or not, in January of 2020 Perry Farrell came to me in a dream and sang the basis for this song. I was at a Best Western hotel in Carmel, California. He was floating in the upper corner of the room swaying back and forth and his eyes were abnormally large. I woke up and immediately wrote down the lyrics and hummed the melody into my phone. True story. - Tenk

lyrics

Hey
gonna win
pack it up
let’s go
go you champion
let’s go champion

try hard
push up
and toss it to the stake like a horseshoe rival
open the valve like a deep-sea diver
click your heels like its straight across cherries
hit the jake brake for the kids in the window
go

go
plug it in
power up
high five
go you champion
you’re a champion

shoot high
stand tall
and twist that throttle like a street bike racer
pass that cop like he's standing still
take that moment that you'll always cherish
if you don’t take it someone will
go

go
you’re a king
lay it down
let em know
you’re a champion
go you champion

try hard
push up
and toss it to the stake like a horseshoe rival
open the valve like a deep-sea diver
click your heels like its straight across cherries
hit the jake brake for the kids in the window
go

Temple of Switches California

"The two mainstays throughout are sections with an often subtle but distinct jazz flavoring applied to them, sometimes from bass and drums, on other occasions by way of the keyboards, and here and there we are treated to almost purebred jazz-oriented music too. The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
