Lyrics: Cryptobiotic Dirt Cryptobiotic dirt cryptobiotic dirt She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt Step on some dirt she’ll hit you where it hurts She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt Me and Jackie were walking down there Jackie heard a crunching sound she grabbed him by the hair She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt Step on some dirt she’ll eat you for dessert She’s the protector of the Cryptobiotic dirt I’m wild about her she’s wild about the dirt She don’t like walking a Cryptobiotic dirt She don’t like walking on Cryptobiotic dirt She’ll hate you if you hurt the Cryptobiotic dirt She’s the protector for Cryptobiotic dirt Now she’s so pretty that it’s not funny She could pass as a playboy bunny But she is the protector of the crypto biotic dirt Step on some dirt she’ll hit you where it hurts She’s the protector of the Cryptobiotic dirt It takes two hundred years to grow upon the earth She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt

Confidence 03:22
Confidence Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day I need kisses in the evening make me feel ok Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love It's a good thing to fuss about You know it makes me scream and shout Baby I need a little confidence in our love Sometimes I wake up and I feel all alone I feel like a stranger in my own home Don’t tell me I'm just a brat When I tell you I feel like that Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love It's the only thing I know that makes my heart tremble so Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love Show me what you can do I promise that I'll show you too Baby I need a little confidence in our love Sometimes I wake up and I feel like a freak I feel disconnected on a losing streak Don't tell me I'm just a brat When I tell you I feel like that Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love I don't need luxury I need reassurance we're on the same journey Baby I need a little confidence in our love baby I need a little confidence in our love I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day I need skin in the evening make me feel ok Baby I need a little confidence in our love.

Apple shine apple shine, Shine little apple and say you're mine Say you're mine till the end of time Shine little apple, apple shine, apples shine I'll shine you up on my chest Heirloom apples taste the best Your eyes are bright as apple skin One more bite and it'll do me in. Apple shine. We come down from the hill Down to the valley where it's warm and still Where the fruit hangs heavy on the trees And people take water whenever they please, Whenever they please Climb up a ladder and eat a pear Eat a pear way up there She says she’s plain, I know she’s fair I’m lost in her branches, I’m lost in her hair Appleshine Climb up a ladder and eat a pear And after that we’ll sit in a chair Sit in a chair in the river bend Pressing apple juice until the end Apple shine. We come down from the hill Down to the valley where it's warm and still Where the fruit hangs heavy on the trees And people take water whenever they please, Whenever they please The dream is ripe and laying on the ground Let’s gorge ourselves on what we found Set the table with the finest threads And let that juice go to your head Apple shine. That’s what we’ll call it. God is sweet and juice is good And every bee is understood Dance with me on the window sill Cap it with wax before the chill Apple shine. Apple shine apple shine, Shine little apple and say you're mine Say you're mine till the end of time Shine little apple, apple shine

Porcupine 01:50
Porcupine in the road Not all dead yet, well that blows Head laying on the double yellow back broken like a cello Poor poor porcupine I saw it moving it's still alive I went back to show it some mercy finish it off Its soul it was set free Spines stuck in the tires Why are you calling me a liar? Poor poor porcupine makes me almost feel like crying I'd rather die on the highway then in a zoo in my own manure What strange music in you purrs? Only the Pines know for sure Poor poor porcupine he's still moving he still alive The mountain winds don't seem to care As they blow through its guard hairs The last sun rays form a shroud Knock the pink stuffing from the clouds Poor poor porcupine he's not moving he's not alive.

Figure Eights When the great fish came all the people gathered round The peaceful lagoon by the light of the moon Some rowed together some sailed from town They all gasped in horror at the monster Billy found Slapping its tail on the water, like a saber Churning bright lanterns in strange figure eights In the shadows of the cedars It startled the neighbors, Where the ancient mariner’s gathered to debate Some blamed the worms eating at its brain Some said it washed up in a mighty hurricane Some swore it was a devil an omen and a curse Some swore it was female, preparing to give birth A great white fish, a great white whale With gills as big as a jail, With a mouth full of teeth It rose from the deep The monster that swam in figure eights . Early that same morning children dove from the bridge To ride the knotty rope, in the currents by the ledge Where no fear had ever entered their heads This foe from the deep had invaded Some paid a great fee, the monster to see And waited for the tide to rise and set it free They all stood in wonder on the edge of the lagoon Where the only light was the light of the moon A great white fish, a great white whale with gills as big as a jail With a mouth full of teeth, it rose from the deep, The monster, that swim in figure eights The men rowed in dory’s two oarsman a piece Into the realm of the great figure eight They measured the monster at 17 feet Then they slaughtered the beast in the shallows Its liquid steel body did not turn to fight them Nor did it bite them with infinite teeth It turned to make one more arc in the shadows And its blood filled the waves on the beach Come see the great white fish The great white whale With gills as big as a jail! With a mouth full of teeth It rose from the deep The monster that swam in figure eights.

Pile Driver 05:26
Old jack rabbit wise and free flat as a pancake by the library I know how the ravens stay plump and alive All you can eat Pitbulls on 285 Everybody's driving like shit Especially New Mexicans Everybody's driving like shit Driving to hell as fast as they can He was in a big rush coming over the pass Suddenly there was an elk sitting in his lap He hit the thing so hard Its contents shot across the road Landed in the thicket steaming in the cold Everybody's driving like shit Blind corners and bad attitudes Everybody's driving like shit sooner or later we all gonna lose Everybody everybody everybody's driving like Everybody everybody everybody's driving like, Everybody everybody everybody's driving like shite, like shite I was talking to my cousins they said they wouldn't vote I said, "That's a copout and this is not a joke." If you really want to see this shit hit the fan Vote for Bernie he's your man Everybody's thinking like shit And this nation has taken a dump Everybody's driving like shit That's how we wound up as President Trump I'm flying down the highway to tuck you in for the night Surfing the stations of the Christian right Why can't we stand up and think for ourselves Why are we driving on a highway to Hell? Everybody's driving like shit and this world keeps getting hotter Everybody's driving like shit One thing for certain we're not getting smarter Most of us are trying to make a little cash Shave off a little time we drive a little fast History will know us as the selfish ones Mowing down the wild things with a hit and run Everybody's driving like shit I feel like a rock in a river of fools Everybody's driving like shit Don't flip them off they might shoot you Everybody everybody everybody's driving like Everybody everybody everybody's driving like Everybody everybody everybody's driving like Reckless zombies looking for food! Everybody's driving like shit!

about

“Don’t Bust The Crust!” This is to say I hereby release the Boris And The Cryptobiotic Dirtbags record one song at a time for the next 12 weeks on Facebook. Here is the band camp link to this long time coming record! With Jeff Berlin, a.k.a. Little Feebo, Steve Mayone, a.k.a. Short Dawg, Chris McGandy, a.k.a. Spirit Goat. Check it out. It’s a lot of fun and very unpredictable! *Please leave your email on band camp so I can communicate better with you from my temporary stay in China.

Back story:

After the McCutcheon family uprooted from their modest off the grid bad roads situation and relocated to Albuquerque for new career purposes for Laura “her turn to shine“, we used to go out to Ojito Mesa with the kids and explore for entire day at a time. I swear to the crypto gods that we found an entire skeleton of a dinosaur once, and couldn’t relocate it later. The kids used to step on the crypto bio crust, and Laura would get angry at them. We would walk sometimes for a mile to avoid the bio crust, ”don’t bust the crust!”, she was the “Protector of the Cryptobiotic dirt“ I wrote the song as a joke while we were going around a big patch of Cryptobiotic dirt. Later the song stuck in the car on the way home. It was the first song I recorded on a DAW (on my own) with a decent vocal microphone that I bought a Grandma‘s music in Albuquerque. I believe I recorded the guitar and vocals into the one mic. I sent the files to Chris McGandy to play pedal steel. He sent me back what I call “porn steel”. The song was put on ice for many years until it was rediscovered by little Feebo, Jeff Berlin, the greatest drummer on earth and short dog, Steve Mayone, the greatest guitarist/producer on earth. Jeff recorded his drums with two overheads. Steve added a Credence flare with his electric guitar. It reminds me of the “loose” sounding rock band that played on the porch in the movie “Sling Blade.”

And remember kids..”Don’t bust the crust!”




"Hey boys,

Just finally got a chance to listen to the mastered version of our record. It sounds absolutely fantastic. Big and warm, amazing depth, separation and clarity. The sequence, the whole package. A+

If you fellas get a chance, put some headphones on and listen top to bottom with no distractions. It’s a pretty incredible record. I’m so freakin’ proud of this one. So happy to be a part of this with you talented fuckers.

Now let’s shoot it into the world’s ear holes!"

Little Feebo

(Little Feebo, Short Dawg and Cactusman have worked on this for long time. Take this music and put it in your ear holes. )
