The Pynchliners’ Sick Crew [P.S.C.] – Mondaugen’s Lullaby [w/lyrics]
Side A (only side) of the only available recording by The Pynchliners' Sick Crew, also known as P.S.C. ("pressure" in Greek), an obscure quartet of second generation immigrants to the U.S. from the mid-1990's. P.S.C. were influenced by the beat-box/hip-hop culture prevailing at the time, but wished to dedicate their lyrical content to the poetry of Thomas Pynchon. This one is a poem/song found in the pages of V..
Known members were:
Anestis Schistolithos - rapping vocals
Ioana Eliade - backing vocals
John 'Jah-ronymous' Joyce - beat-box
Rachel Khazimuratova - mouth harp
Thanks to the anonymous subscriber to the channel who sent me the file and information.
Lyrics:
Dream tonight of peacock tails,
Diamond fields and spouter whales.
Ills are many, blessings few,
But dreams tonight will shelter you.
Let the vampire's creaking wing
Hide the stars while banshees sing;
Let the ghouls gorge all night long;
Dreams will keep you safe and strong.
Skeletons with poison teeth,
Risen from the world beneath,
Ogre, troll, and loup-garou,
Bloody wraith who looks like you,
Shadow on the window shade,
Harpies in a midnight raid,
Goblins seeking tender prey,
Dreams will chase them all away.
Dreams are like a magic cloak
Woven by the fairy folk,
Covering from top to toe,
Keeping you from winds and woe.
And should the Angel come this night
To fetch your soul away from light,
Cross yourself, and face the wall:
Dreams will help you not at all.
