lyrics

Ahh! Not too long from now, (it may have happened already, who really knows?) Everyone, in every town, in every city, in every state or province. They will be asked, no they will be told to drop everything, save for the clothes on their back, and report to a checkpoint. A single point on the map. Every man, woman, child, able or disabled. Map reference 31.374 Degrees North, 88.4744 Degrees West. Everyone, no questions asked. Map reference 31.374 Degrees North, 88.4744 Degrees West. No questions asked.

So the exodus will begin, every man, woman, and child will leave their homes, their homes! and walk in four single file lines, one north, one south, one east, and one west. George the teamster with the broken arm, Elise the young pregnant girl who is expecting at any moment, and Nikolas, the actor. And more, and more! The military will be asked to police the effort, with the expectation being that they will police themselves upon arriving at the destination. No one will know what awaits them, and everyone will merely follow the simple electronic signs which direct them.

The first to arrive, Javier and Henrietta, an old married couple who live nearby, will come to where all the arrows point, and find a white chalked line drawn on the unpaved road. They will look behind them and find the masses angrily urging them forward. After passing over the white chalked line, an electronic sign will thank them for their participation and invite them to leave the premises.

Two weeks later, a letter will arrive in the mailbox of every one of the millions of people who passed over the white line. The letter will read:

To whom it may concern, at the date and time specified below, you were officially acknowledged to be in existence. No reply is necessary.

Mishima Strange is full fledged "garage collage," borrowing strands from the popular and not-so-popular musics of the last several decades. Resistant to labeling, and irrespective of genre, Mishima Strange has always been and can only be, exactly that.
