lyrics

There’s a world within this invisible skin
There’s a world within this invisible skin

Attention nines
A ten has just arrived
Attention fives
A nine was just chastised

Your goddess is on high
Your goddess is on high
A myth upon arrival
No regrets for your delight

I throw the shapes that you catch
You catch the shapes that I throw
Sisters in transistors on that light fantastic toe
I throw the shapes that you catch
You catch the shapes that I throw
Daughters and transformers come and trip it as we go

I didn’t trip the light fantastic
It tripped over me
And that mirror in the ballroom
Is reflecting off of me
I didn’t trip the light fantastic
It tripped over me
And that mirror in the ballroom
Is reflecting off of me

It's a fine looking ballroom tonight
It's a fine looking ballroom tonight
It's a fine looking ballroom tonight
It's a fine looking ballroom tonight

Fellas with antennas
Devas with receivers
Guys with amplifiers
Multiport controllers

I didn’t trip the light fantastic
It tripped over me
And that mirror in the ballroom
Is reflecting off of me
I didn’t trip the light fantastic
It tripped over me
And that mirror in the ballroom
Is reflecting off of me

Take your shirt off Danny
Lose the tie

Band names and music halls
Posters on the bathroom walls
Bull clips on plywood boards
Cold stairs and painted floors
Hand slides on the factory walls
Skip steps as I fall towards
This nights ballroom doors
This nights ballroom doors

It's a fine looking ballroom tonight
It's a fine looking ballroom
It's a fine looking ballroom tonight
It's a fine looking ballroom

Your goddess has arrived
Your goddess has arrived
A myth upon arrival
No regrets for your delight

The night is young and fine
The night is yours and mine
Make room for me my people
Cause this ballroom needs some fire

I didn’t trip the light fantastic
It tripped over me
And that mirror in your ballroom
Is reflecting off of me

about

Art Making Animals image

Art Making Animals Leeds, UK

Art Making Animals are Ben Denison and Mark Parrini.

We started “making noise with friends” over 20 years ago with a plan to write an album one song a year.

20 years of friendship later we have finally finished what we started.

Art Making Animals is about the joy of making music with close and trusted friends, and what a joy it has been.

And if listening is love, we can’t thank you enough. ... more
