Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus! (Official)

Описание: Erect this Cross on the Planet Venus is the fourth track released by Kebin and Oscar from their epic debut album release, ‘Hollywood or Bust!’ It is based on an actual massive concrete cross that was situated in nearly the geographical center of the state of Arkansas. As you will hear in the lyrics, when I was a teenager, I literally climbed to the top of that cross and verified the inscription, “Erect This Cross On The Planet Venus In The Year 1990” Active in martial arts (Taekwondo) I leaped from that cross, spun into a flying back spin kick, and landed solid on the car. As you can imagine… I was certainly in an altered state of consciousness. I survived. I’m still alive and kicking. I immerse my entire being into my writing and I often pay tribute to people and places I love. Read the lyrics to this song and you will hear the honor I give to you. David Scott (Oscar) THANK YOU for the inspiration of our friendship, our adventures together early in my life and our continued friendship. Kebin and Oscar FOREVER!!


Kebin and Oscar – Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!
By Robin Dover


[Intro}

Oh Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Another hit not coming from the radio.
Floating in Oscar’s room.
Spinning 33 and one third vinyl.
Oscar played, “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head!"

[break]

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Kebin and Oscar!
Headin’ to a pseudo graveyard tonight!

[Verse 2]
This is not a real cemetery!
There’s not a dead man in sight!
But there’s something so very strange…
…about this massive concrete cross!

For it would never mark a grave!

Kebin and Oscar!
Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

[Chorus]
Running to the county line!
Old Joe Cool, he takes our cash!
He carries us out two brown paper bags!
We’re ready for the Midnight Ride!

[break]

Rockin’ Robin would stay!
Robin Trower would play!
Swinging on the Bridge of Sighs!
All we could ever do was party hardy!
At the Bulldog Jamboree!

[break]

It’s time for the Cemetery Dance!
Richard Chizmar – that’s right!
Richard Chizmar knows our name!

[break]

Kebin and Oscar!
Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

[Bridge]
Oscar watches as I climb to the top of that cross!
I stand up tall and scream!
My long hair flying like a dream!
I stare down at its outstretched arms!
I see the ancient engravened words:

ERECT THIS CROSS ON THE PLANET VENUS IN THE YEAR 1990!

I take another hit, and I watch the stars…
Falling all around me!
Oscar shouts, “Kebin Dove!! Time to FLY!”

I was airborne in a flash!

I launched a flying back spin kick!
And landed solid on the car!
Superman got nothin’ on me!

[intense guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Kebin drove a blasted blue Mach one!
Breathing fire in the sky!
A spooky glow surrounded us…
As we turned off into town!

Kebin and Oscar!
Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

[Chorus]
Running to the county line!
Old Joe Cool, he takes our cash!
He carries us out two brown paper bags!
We’re ready for the Midnight Ride!

[break]

Rockin’ Robin would stay!
Robin Trower would play!
Swinging on the Bridge of Sighs!
All we could ever do was party hardy!
At the Bulldog Jamboree!

Kebin and Oscar!
Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

[brief guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
Kebin and Oscar wiped away the dirt…
from their faces and their hands.
The cross lay stretched across the hood of the car!
It was anxious! It was homeward bound!

Kebin, do you remember?
…where this cross has got to go?

We’ll get it there next Tuesday!

You know that I know that you know!

Jimi Hendrix will take us there!

Kebin and Oscar!

Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

[break]

Kebin and Oscar!
It’s Hard Rock Tonight!

Kebin and Oscar!
Swinging on the Bridge of Sighs!

[Outro]

Kebin and Oscar!
Erect This Cross on the Planet Venus!

Gwendy! Don’t you ever button up your box!
