Somnambulist 03:01
Let the moon shine on my sleepy head Let the tears freeze on my icy sheets When my shadow looms on your bedroom wall Feel a cold hand slide across your cheek Rolling underneath the skin My eyes, like marbles, spin Have you ever seen a dream walking? When the sky turns to lead and the TV's gone dead And you've backed off to bed, then I'm stirring When your face turns to porridge and your breath is damp silage And your brain's in cold storage — I rise Have you seen shapes at your vision's edge? Do you want me for the things I see? When the first light hits your stiffened limbs And you think you're free you'll remember my Face, a pallid canvas where your Fears are clearly mapped Have you ever seen a dream walking? I'm the queen in your closet, the self you disown And I'm out there alone to betray you I don't know where I'm walking, you can't stop me from talking And everybody's watching. Have you ever seen a dream walking?

The Genius 02:48
He walked through my door On the darkest of nights His eyes were like crepe His lips they were white He must have been lonely or Needing ta talk But he said one word only Then looked at the clock So I took off his coat And I touched the lapel Where the cheek of a lover Had left a faint smell He said he was misunderstood by the world When I said he was too aloof, he replied, "I didn't ask for my gift - It was forced on me, don't you see?" Then he bragged of his travels His destiny's call He had strong opinions I disagreed with them all Something piercing the air With a hollow dry scream Had broken the ice And turned it to steam The lamplights of Bagdad Were burning for away Golden embers showered On our bodies as we lay The ceiling got lower I pushed him away "Sex," he said, "is one swollen sack Emptying into another." Without further word I fell fast asleep. Counting sheep. Little white sheep.

Waiting for the message to come The handshake from deepest space Pressing to the headset all night For alien's faintest breath Hoping for a biped to come Untangling human doubt Searching through the static all night For signals that make some sense. Will they tell whatever the pyramids meant? Did we evolve or were our chromosomes sent? Will they find our brain pans a fraction too small? Do the labyrinths we've created lead nowhere at all? Here we are in Mississippi Tracking down a swamp gas saucer Television cameras glowing Somewhere in the middle of the prairie on a summer night The natives gather 'round, hoping for a sight. When the locusts cast dark shadows When the men of conscience weaken When the preachers spread their panic - Armageddon draws us near its gaping mouth and Whispers that the universe isn't benign. Crashing through a telephone booth To put in a call to Christ Looking for a sign in the sky Ezekiel's wheels on high Waiting for a savior to come To rescue us from the brink Quoting from the scientists’ logs Defending our oldest wish. (REFRAIN) Tiny needle in a haystack Alf its signals weak and garbled Conjuring its myths and dreaming Somewhere in the middle of the galaxy Our capsule floats, boasting the image of MAN.

about

The debut EP, first released in 1982. Euro-techno-disco-Fellini-circus-chamber music. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to explain.

About the cover: the puzzle-piece design of our first release is from an original poster concept by Skot Armstrong. Skot (or, as I liked to think of him, the “fifth Fibonacci”) went on to execute a slew of fliers and posters – many of them tied thematically to specific gigs we played in Los Angeles – that established a witty and instantly memorable graphic identity for the band. For a look at more of Skot’s work for the Fibonaccis, including his original design for the cover of this record, and at his numerous other projects and publications over the years, visit skotarmstrong.wordpress.com/the-fibonaccis-and-me/. –R.S.

about

The Fibonaccis Los Angeles, California

Welcome to The Fibonaccis official Bandcamp page. The band rose from the early-'80s Los Angeles art punk scene and drew from a wide range of ideas and influences. It was active until 1988, with a brief exhumation and CD retrospective in 1992. The name comes from Leonardo Fibonacci, the 14th century Italian mathematician from Pisa.
