Fade-out / Hide-out (lyrics by G. Setzer)
Hey hey hey, we have no face
We’re out of order, we can’t pinpoint
The fade-out hide-out, our missing link
This narrative that won’t be born
No no no, the effect is wrong
How did we drop out, reality?
The sights and sounds we can’t determine
But how can I say this if it sometimes seems…
There is a sign that’s pre-linguistic
You know I can’t see what you see
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
A noise beyond an alphabet
You know I can’t hear what you hear
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
This is an instant non-sequential
You know I can’t feel what you feel
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
When we arrive we can’t determine
Our senses can not speak and spell
[They miss the mark and slip and slide]
Tick tick tick, we can not refuse
This proof of sequence, the frame after frame
We put into practice, the dragging of frames
The idea bends, its moment extends
It’s excavation beneath a structure
But how can I say this if it sometimes seems…
There is a sign that’s pre-linguistic
You know I can’t see what you see
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
A noise beyond an alphabet
You know I can’t hear what you hear
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
This is an instant non-sequential
You know I can’t feel what you feel
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
When we arrive we can’t determine
Our senses cannot speak and spell
They miss the mark and slip and slide
It touches my mouth
It seemingly sinks
You know I can’t see what you see
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
You know I can’t hear what you hear
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
You know I can’t feel what you feel
[you know, you know, you know, you know, you know]
You know, you know
[you know, you know]

At Not Out (lyrics by G. Setzer)
Take a step
Take step two
What do you do?
And let me know when you can find a reason
‘Cause I don’t look anymore and I don’t think it’s there
I know I’m paranoid
But I’ve got hands that fall off if there’s no wiggle room
It’s somewhere here in this articulation
You see me move when it peaks
And I’m all on the floor
I think its infestation
The graphs go soft they give what they’ve not given before
I can’t remember why
I’m crawling on this floor
But I’d better get up!
I let this structure move
I love these particles
I’m slipping
I’m sliding
It’s very necessary
I don’t know
I don’t know
I am not at attention
So much to learn from looking at the window
The glass is clean its cliché and we’re so talkative
This dreaded conversation
Both angles dead and they’ve both said they never can know
But we can’t seem to validate their claims
And yet things stand still, they won’t move, they are remains
My clean compact obsession
Collecting fossils, indentations, evidence
I can’t remember why
I’m crawling on this floor
But I’d better get up!
I let this structure move
I love these particles
Take a step
Take step two
What do you do?
And let me know when you can find a reason
‘Cause I don’t look anymore and I don’t think it’s there
I know I’m paranoid
But I’ve got hands that fall off if there’s no wiggle room
It’s somewhere here in this articulation
You see me move when it peaks
And I’m all on the floor
I think its infestation
The graphs go soft they give what they’ve not given before
I can’t remember why
I’m crawling on this floor
But I’d better get up!
I let this structure move
I love these particles

The New Microcosmic Regionalism (lyrics by G. Setzer)
I can’t climb up
Because these chairs are thin
And if the legs give in
We let the labyrinth in
And we don’t know what that might lead to
After all these walls are see through
Wobbling piles of chairs we cling to
So we sway, we swing and mean to
What will we leave behind?
What is it we leave behind; it’s rhizomatic every time
They’re forming disparate piles
That seem to not connect
But that disconnect
Is of course, suspect
This glass familiarity
Does not obstruct these piles we seek
We might not touch infinity
But hands can hold it’s thick theory
Abridged, but real, reality
So we see these seams they seem to say
Microcosm / macrocosm
Call me Mr. Microcosm
Microcosm / macrocosm
Call me Mr. Microcosm—I am Mr. Microcosm
What will we leave behind?
What is it we leave behind; it’s rhizomatic every time
What will we leave behind?
What is it we leave behind; it’s rhizomatic every time

Canada's Electric Tiger Machine Bowling Green, Ohio
Canada's Electric Tiger Machine met at Bowling Green State University where, Haehn, Buckholz, and Ranville were art students and Setzer was a Visiting Instructor. Formed in 2003, their live shows were immediately heralded for their high-energy delivery and bizarre stage "happenings." C.E.T.M. disbanded in 2005; with members now in Illinois, Arizona, Ohio, and Michigan, a reunion is unlikely. ... more
