    maybe something different for foreplay ... put on your lingerie ... it may not be honest, but at least it's not a mask

    Story Behind the Song
    This is the first song that I recorded as "The Powder Company." It was recorded in Chattanooga, TN, with the help of Bob Courter. Check out Bob's drum work in the second half of the song ... we were going for the same darkness found on Lou Reed's "Berlin" album, and the plodding drums helped break the song down into a slow, rhythmic trance.
    The lyrics in this song are telling of my thematic interests, namely human loss and despair, and the role sexuality plays in the creation and destruction of the individual will. Perhaps the pervading image of two young people torn apart by the consequences of their own shared sexuality is a bit melodramatic, but this kind of despair is real, and needs to be expressed rather than swept under the rug. The couple in the song realizes the immediate catastrophe of their situation, retreating into the same sexual urges that troubled them in the first place. Often I find solace in the most basic parts of my nature, and I can only assume that most people are this way.

    Lyrics
    this is what you wanted, isn't it:
    the sex that's making love,
    the swaying slower and softer,
    so it means something?

    so why then are you crying?
    you make me frustrated and impotent
    to understand the insides
    of a conception--oriented girl.

    will the baby know
    that we lay awake crying like this?

    maybe something different for foreplay
    put on your lingerie ...
    it may not be honest,
    but at least it's not a mask.
