My mother was a Chinese trapeze artist, in pre-war Paris
Smuggling bombs for the underground
And she met my father at a fete in Aix-en-Provnence
He was disguised as a Russian cadet in the employ of the AxisAnd there in the half-light , the provincial midnight
To a lone concertina, they drank in cantinas
And toasted to Edith Piaf and the fall of the ReichMy sister was born in a hovel in Burgundy
Left for the cattle but later was found by a communist
Who'd deserted his ranks to follow his dream
To start up a punk rock band in South CarolinaWell, I get letters sometimes they bought a plantation
She weeds the tobacco, he offends the nation
And they write, "Don't be a stranger, y'hear, sincerely, your sister"So my parents had me to the disgust of the prostitutes
In a bed in a brothel, surprisingly raised with tender care
'Til the money got tight and they bet me away
To a blind brigadier in a game of high-stakes CanastaBut he made me a sailor on his brigadier ship fleet
I know every yardarm from main mast to jib sheet
But sometimes I long to be landlocked
And to work in a bakery

Когда-то в середине 90-х он еще играл alt-country в захудалой группе Tarkio. Группа, так и не отведав славы распалась, после того, как два их прекрасно сделанных альбома не окупили себя и, можно сказать, провалились. Но ничего, это было только начало.Долгие творческие поиски в итоге вылились в... продолжение
