| i |  i don't know how evil this could be this side of me there's no thinking when i'm on the rise this octopus is gonna spit in your eye so guilty yet alive now that i'm on my way to steal you |
| i | i wonder if your beautiful scales will protect you from the knife that cuts the heart in two pieces |
| i | i can't stay away when you give it away cut from your shell bending through my spine hey watch your back the net is wrapped around you tonight say good night forget your head like dream whose sweetness fades |
| i | i swear there's nothing wrong with you |
| i | i'm just so confused and rolled up inside so rolled up inside |

In addition to appearing on The Forbidden E.P.,
GOLDENSEAL was released with SHOULDER BACK
on the Buzz Records
Spring of '98 Sampler. GOLDENSEAL, although in some respects just a
"little pop song," has an "undercurrent there of a weirdly mutating repetitious thing,
where the two guitars become one and split apart over and over until you lose sight of
what each individual guitar is playing and just listen to the overall sound created
by the two," said Dan. He acted as a sort of producer for the song, and among the tricks
in the song is the "battery slide" that Dan discovered while Jeff was on the phone. A
battery is used to play the guitar, giving a sound similar to that of a slide, and, of course,
giving rise to the name, "battery slide." The song features This Way Out-era touring bassist
Jeff Goldman, who recorded the bass while in California on a break from New York.
