Comfort Eagle Lyrics


We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors
And adding more lanesWe are building a religion
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers
For these pendant key chainsTo resist it is useless
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is burning
But he never seems to ashHe is grooming his poodle
He is living comfort eagle
You can meet at his location
But you better come with cashNow his hat is on backwards
He can show you his tattoos
He is in the music business
He is calling you, "Dude!"Now today is tomorrow
And tomorrow today
And yesterday is weaving in and outAnd the fluffy white lines

That the airplane leaves behind
Are drifting right in front
Of the waning of the moonHe is handling the money
He's serving the food
He knows about your party
He is calling you, "Dude!"Now do you believe
In the one big sign
The double wide shine
On the boot heels of your primeDoesn't matter if you're skinny
Doesn't matter if you're fat
You can dress up like a sultan
In your onion head hatWe are building a religion
We are making a brand
We're the only ones to turn to
When your castles turn to sandTake a bite of this apple
Mr. Corporate events
Take a walk through the jungle
Of cardboard shanties and tentsSome people drink Pepsi
Some people drink Coke
The wacky morning DJ
Says democracy's a jokeHe says now do you believe
In the one big song
He's now accepting callers
Who would like to sing alongHe says, do you believe
In the one true edge
By fastening your safety belts
And stepping towards the ledgeHe is handling the money
He is serving the food
He is now accepting callers
He is calling me, "Dude!"Do you believe
In the one big sign
The double wide shine
On the boot heels of your primeThere's no need to ask directions
If you ever lose your mind
We're behind you
We're behind youAnd let us please remind you
We can send a car to find you
If you ever lose your wayWe are building a religion
We are building it biggerWe are building a religion
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers
For these beautiful pendant key chains

CAKE is an alternative rock band which formed in 1991 in Sacramento, California, United States. The band consists of John McCrea (vocals, guitar), Xan McCurdy (guitar), Gabe Nelson (bass), Vincent DiFiore (trumpet, keyboards, vocals) and Paulo Baldi (drums). The band has released six albums: Motorcade of Generosity (1994), Fashion Nugget (1996), Prolonging the Magic (1998), Comfort Eagle (2001), Pressure Chief (2004) and Showroom of Compassion (2011). The band has been very successful on American alternative radio, with nine of their singles appearing on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart between 1993 and 2011.

B-Sides and Rarities was released October 2, 2007. It features a live cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and their cover "Mahna Mahna", which also appears on the charity CD "For the Kids" whose proceeds benefit the "VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC" organization.

CAKE's latest album, Showroom of Compassion, was released January 11, 2011. It was recorded at the Upbeat Studio in Sacramento, California with the help of recording engineer Pat Olguin.

Although CAKE's music is often classified as alternative or indie rock, it combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, pop, jazz, rap, and country. CAKE's music features droll lyrics rife with word play and syncopation (laconically voiced in a rap-like style by lead vocalist/guitarist John McCrea), catchy distorted guitar riffs (courtesy of guitarist Greg Brown until 1998, and bass player to Victor Damiani until 1997), and a solo trumpet (played by Vince DiFiore). CAKE's musical style has been compared to They Might Be Giants, Talking Heads, The Cars, and Camper Van Beethoven.

Damiani left the band in 1997, replaced by Gabe Nelson. Greg Brown left in 1998, replaced by Xan McCurdy. Brown and Damiani continued to work together when they formed the band Deathray. Todd Roper left the band to focus on parenthood after recording Comfort Eagle.

CAKE's biggest hits have included "The Distance", "Never There", "Sheep Go To Heaven" "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle", "No Phone", "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", and an alternative remake of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". An instrumental version of CAKE's "Italian Leather Sofa" is featured as the theme song to the cartoon Mission Hill. The song "Shadow Stabbing" from Comfort Eagle appears in the opening credits of the movies Orange County and Wordplay. The songs "Daria", "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle", and "Friend Is a Four-Letter Word" are featured as closing credit themes for episodes of Daria. The song "Frank Sinatra" was also featured at the close of The Sopranos episode "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti". The movie, "Me, Myself, and Irene" also featured CAKE's "Hem Of Your Garment". In the Tv-Series "Chuck", "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" is used in the intro of each episode.

Additionally, CAKE headlined the Unlimited Sunshine Tour festival in the summer of 2002 among an eclectic ensemble of bands including Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, De La Soul, Latin techno fusion band Kinky and bluegrass group The Hackensaw Boys.
