It's the flame In my brain Don't know why I do these things to me and you It's the flame, In my brain Can't get my mind off you although you tell me to for the flame, in my brain We've both been burned In the past but you could be the match that lights the flame in my brain

Let me take you on a trip to a place that i know so well where the ocean meets the sand and sun and where your heart Is gonna swell lf we make it to the trees, new breeze, will be swaying green the moon wlll glow beyond control, the earth Is gonna start to steam we"re shaking and we"re baking all night untll the break of day let me take you on a California holiday Every trip is just a trip, and to every trip there is an end but this trip I'm on with you is never through oh my dear friend We're shaking and we're baking all night until the break of day let me take you, on a California holiday

The shadow on the hills are from the clouds above as the sun shines down to shower its love climb to the top Just to turn back around following the trail to the sacred ground with you, wine country girl It's the big surreal, the golden coast like a wild west shootout between two ghosts down41 and up 46,offthe 1 In Harmony ls where I got hitched to you,wine country girl Fish in the water, salt In the air pepper on the nose, sand everywhere horse in a field,cow on the hill looking for a teepee next to the windmill for you,wine country girl

Hoodoo 06:13
Who do you want to talk to baby, who do you want to move Who are you gonna walk to baby, when i need to get away from you Out on the run, on the open road, it's easy to break down and now i'm looking down the barrel of a gun now baby with rumors all overtown lfyou treated me babe like you treated yourself you know I'd never have the notion to put you back on the shelf Who do you want to talk to baby, where do you want to move Who do you want to talk to baby, who do you want to choose Who are they gonna contact baby when there's something gone wrong with you Out on the town,you don't pay no mind leave me hanging in our bed alone now i'm looking down the barrel of a gun now baby wondering whats the load pulled the trigger and the gun said go, shot fell over in Ohio Who do you want to talk to baby, where do you want to move Who do you want to talk to baby, who do you want to choose Who do you want to talk to baby, where do you want to move

Thinking today about the time you had last night out with your friends or so you said,it was supposed to be a ladies night I asked you to come home but you went with him anyway In his car, at his house, on his couch you said you were leaving but you were already there it's just a matter of time The distance between you and me is something that should never be you're under a spell sent straight from hell then tried to blame it all on me you know that you"re hanging onto someone else's dream looking down from above making sure you're all wearing your dresses and plenty of mascara it's just a matter of time

U Make Me Go 02:49
You make me go you said you need some space now you're in his face such a strange embrace outside of your workplace You make me go When you came home, lying in our room you said you found an old bottle of perfume Now i've been replaced now i've been erased now i've been disgraced it was all in haste You make me go
9.
I can go wherever i want but these days i don't go anywhere at all well you know something ain't right so we're gonna have to fake it tonight Take my chances working everyday summer romances never seemed to go my way Hear the hoot owl fly off still i try to hold on when i can well you know i gotta move fast adjacent to your loneliness True love could never be so cruel once was blind but now I'm just a fool well i know i gotta hold my breath when you keep me underwater Take my chances working everyday summer romances never seemed to go my way

about

Perpetual Doom is proud to present the long-awaited full-length from Tommy and The Ohs: Mariposa Gold. Ohs’ mastermind Thomas Oliverio has worked alongside some of the biggest names in music today—but with Mariposa Gold, he takes a sharp turn into the psychedelic reaches of American roots music and the avant-garde. The result is a wild trip through a lavish soundscape, a California of fantasy and heartbreak, where genres and traditions bleed together in “the big surreal.”

Guided by Oliverio’s fine-tuned sense of production and melody, Mariposa Gold is lush with arrangements that strive toward new and surprising dimensions. These songs sway like hummable country weepers sent through the looking glass, joining sheer virtuosity, worthy of the best session players, to a distinct experimental sensibility shaped by bluegrass, country, and psychedelia.

Album opener “Bombshell” propels forward to surf guitar and a shivering tambourine. The song has the urgency of a quest, adding layers of organ and a driving backbeat, building as Oliverio’s sings of a “flame in the brain.” Is it a breakdown? The beginning of a love affair? On this side of the golden coast, there might not be any difference. It is a fitting opening statement for an album packed dense with explosive material.

That roiling tension deepens on “Wine Country Girl,” where shadows hang over the vineyards and nothing is quite itself. The lyrics speak of sunshine, but the rattling percussion and a spitfire mandolin solo evoke a more sinister scene: “It’s the big surreal, the golden coast, like a Wild West shootout between two ghosts,” Oliverio sings. “Down 41 and up 46, off the 1 in Harmony is where I got hitched to you, wine country girl.”

“Mama Allcaps” spins the timeless tale of a love gone wrong into a tense and bitter blues. Tracked live, Oliverio and his band unleash a five-minute hornet’s nest of fiddle, organ, and guitar—all fitting accompaniment for this scene of down and dirty betrayal: “There goes Mama Allcaps on her night out. Second hand smoke with her cellphone off.” We don’t need to know where she’s headed to know it’s nowhere good. Somewhere in the smoke the anger burns hot, but here Oliverio hammers it into an encore-ready centerpiece track.
Mariposa Gold is at once a raucous, genre-defying road trip and a deeply personal statement.
