Declaration 01:18
Attention rooftop lovers and cracked sidewalk dwellers: Your god is here, In the lazy foothills, singing swallows, The pink purple yellows, The junk car squeal-out bellows, The passing neighborhood-type fellows and the waxed, thin-lipped moon saying 'hello'

Already Dead 04:03
Josh works in a library, reading books all the time. He works with some fine women, but he never crosses the line, 'cause he knows it's too late and they're already dead. Shanah gives out money to the starving masses. She works with some ruddy people living in the lower classes 'cause she knows it's too late and they're already dead. Me, I'm just a wanderer, travelling 'round this country. I work wherever I can get it and try to love everybody 'cause I know it's too late and they're already dead. Us lovers three, we like to party - drink our wine and smoke our stuff hoping we never have to leave. Too sexy to be dead.

(haven't seen it all afternoon) (Powdered Creamer. Where is it?) I put it in my coffee, I put it in my tea I put it in my baby and she puts it in me Powdered Creamer tastes so very tasty It tastes better than that bee honey. I like it in the morning, I like it at the night. I like it when I'm feeling happy or when I'm feeling uptight. Powdered Creamer you're the one for me. I don't want no half and half even though she's silky. Powdered Creamer you're a dreamer. Shake it baby You're so crumbly Stir it up you melt in my coffee cup. You make it milky but you're not. (unintelligible) Don't know what you're made of But I love the taste ---- Corn Syrup Solids Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil Sodium Caseinate, a milk derivative Dipotassium Phosphate Sodium Aluminosilicate Mono- and Diglycerides Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Sodium Tripoliophosphate Esters of Mono and Diglycerides Artificial Flavors Beta Carotene and RiboFlavin Artificial Colors Contains Milk May Contain Soy

Times is Rough Times is hard Tryin' to make some money selling some lard but you know, there ain't no company for that. Well I go downtown and I look for some booze you know, when you're drunk you can never lose, but not me, I'm the man in the crack. So I dream of a place where the foods is fried and the stock of lard is in short supply - I wake up and see her walking by. Hey there honey, can you get me a beer? Been stuck in this crack for about a year. Thanks for the taste, much obliged - Let me tell you about the dream I've had all my life - Where there's a lack of lard and the foods is fried She said "I know that place" and I nearly cried. She helped me up with my bag of lard I slid right out when she pulled real hard. Out of the crack. Gonna sell my lard. Now that there's company for that.

about

Guitarist Zakk Kuzda travelled from Portland, Oregon to meet drummer Judd Higgins in Savannah, Georgia to record West meets East in a closet, er rehearsal room. WHAKi jammed for a solid week and then worked via the intertrons to produce several diverse tracks. Spanning most genres, from garage rock to electro to country to soundtrack, West meets East sees Zakk and Judd breaking out of the guitar/drum mold and incorporating synthesizers, guiro, and vocals.
