    Lach's third album 'Kids Fly Free' came out the week the World Trade Center fell. Tour cancelled, the album never had a chance. It was originally released on Lach's Fortified label that included artwork on the disc itself. It was then picked up by Track Records in the UK, who originally signed Hendrix and The Who, and that import version has no CD art but does have a bonus hidden track of 'The Hillary Clinton Song'. Please indicate with your order whether you'd like the US or UK version.

lyrics

A Day Without Me

I want to spend the day without me
Get right out of my head
Step into a brilliant body
Leave myself for dead

A day without me
I need a new reflection
I still see your face in mine
It’s like I’m in Heaven and in Hell at the same time

I’m gonna crack the sky like an eggshell
Pull me down an angel
Steal his wings, his harp and halo
Learn the songs only the holy know

I’ll crack the Earth like a soft skull
Pull me up a devil
Steal his wings, his horn and fire
Learn the truth behind desire

I want to spend the day without me
Get right out of my head
Step into a brand new body
Leave myself for dead

A day without me
I need a new direction
I still feel your hand in mine
It’s like I’m in Heaven and in Hell at the same time

A day without me
I want to spend
the day without me


Kids fly free
Sprung from cubbyholes
Baffling government devices
Kids fly free
over regulated lawnscapes
Giggling at parent stupid-faces

Kids fly free
Above danger signals
Defying laws of gravity
Kids fly free
Past moaning political cauldrons
And demographic studies

Kids sleep free
Together in clubhouses
Filled with pot and rock
Kids sleep free wrapped
in true flags of
rebellious liberty

Kids sleep free
In dreamy acceptance
of ridiculous immortality
Kids fly free
in the face of adult absurdity
And sleep the heroic sleep
of kind myth
and blacklight legend
