KID Recordings and acclaimed indie/synth-pop band Burnside Project are excited to announce the Friday, July 28 release of the 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition of the band’s celebrated full-length album, The Networks, The Circuits, The Streams, The Harmonies. Featuring the original album, previously unreleased tracks, remixes and bonus tracks, the 22-song collection is led by “Cue The Pulse To Begin” (2023 Pride Remix), a reimagined take on the band’s breakout single that became a sync powerhouse by appearing in a number of movies and TV shows, most notably as the theme to Showtime’s Queer As Folk which led these quirky artists to become accidental LGBTQ+ cult heroes. - source, https://burnsidemusic.com/
Lyrics:
[Intro] Yo, son, where you at? Yo, son— [Verse 1] I keep my police scanner on all night To keep abreast of the neighborhood's bad intentions A rainbow of radio waves lights up my monitor A thumping of a heartbeat echoes in the hallway Fascination sets in, transmitted by ham radio I'm fumbling with the dosage, I'm fumbling with scenarios Late-night talk radio keeps me well-informed My overnight supervisor left me forewarned [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm older and wiser I've got brand-new incisors And I think I've got a new focus A magic wand, Hocus Pocus, the paperback [Chorus] But I was shocked to know I'm not the only one Who knew the strangе deals that were donе I was shocked to know I'm not the only one Who knows we're headed for the sun [Verse 2] You see, I'm an actor on the stage, I'm crying, laughing, coughing I don't get good roles all that often, like Nosferatu sans the coffin I'm like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, did you see me? I was an extra on the nine o'clock news footage of a protest at City Hall Sometimes I hear them talk of an all-inclusive theory That explains JFK and how it relates to nearly Everything unexplained, the beast of revelations Stonehenge and the Sphinx, the society of Freemasons [Chorus] But I was shocked to know I'm not the only one Who knew the strange deals that were done I was shocked to know I'm not the only one Who knows we're headed for the sun [Verse 3] As they wheel away the bodies and the handcuffs are slapped on They explain the difference between neglect and assault I remember Art Bell and all of his conspiracies I forgot to change the bedpans, but I remembered that we were all doomed
