Neon Phosphor

Lyrics

Neon phosphor
We lived under the streetlamps
He said people
Who torture people
Are the scum of the earth.

Stray dog hiding
Under window washers
He reached out to help
He reached out to help
Himself to their wallets.

Found a parachute
Buried deep inside the trashcan
He slips back inside
All alone inside
Except for the liquor he borrowed

Mark (singing): "...depth of shadow"
Arta: "Why don't I ever feedback? Why is all my feedback... with so much bass? ... don't feedback"
Mark: "The amount of gain has to be loud enough, and you have to be really close to the amp."
Arta: "No, no, but I mean just in general, am I playing with too much bass?"
Mark: "No, I don't think so."

Notes
"Neon Phosphor" was hastily written and recorded by Steven and Arta, when Mark decided to pull "Lost Child" from the original Sound Check track list. It became a surprise favorite among fans of Sculpted Static. Mark's "depth of shadow" line is from the unreleased version of "Lost Child."
