We were on our way to Goodnight Studios to begin a session that was suppose to become our 2nd record. We had this new heavy jam that was finished but nameless. On the way there we were talking about coming up with a name for it. I looked over and saw a dumptruck on the freeway that had the word, "Dumpasaurus" on the back and I giggled and told Jafe to look at it to get a bit of a laugh. He did laugh but mumbled that we should call the song, "Dumpasaurus". At first I totally disagreed because I was super proud of the song and it was a big serious heavy message to me. But a couple seconds later I thought it was hilarious and knew it HAD TO BE CALLED DUMPASAURUS. If we would have had our way, a chunk of these songs would have been on a 2nd album released in 2007 but the studio we recorded it at fell apart and we had to think of something different.
We ended up recording some of them again with some new songs, with the idea of releasing 2 different albums. One came out a month after we started, one came out 2 years later.
lyrics
You say you don’t know
I guess so
In the middle of the road
You’ll never get old
Another slow illusion
You’ll never get pass the confusion
In and out ya know
Born just to be sold
Another cigarette
I think I think so
Another slow illusion
You’ll never get passed the confusion
