    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

Sitting with pain is the devil's game
God lives in joy
Women are drugs, bringing me down, getting me up
I'm a human boy
Last night I had Lucy in my room
She could've been a cigarette
The way she helped me to forget
Wrapped around me like a tourniquet
And I feel much better now
I'm feeling better now
I feel much better now
Cause I'm a Human Boy
Yeah I'm a human boy
I feel much better now

Searching the past makes those demons laugh
God has no need to hide
People are clocks to me, ticking the time to me
They taking me for a ride

Last night I had Betty in my bed
She could've been a rosary
Her beads of sweat covering me
Washing away my misery
And I feel much better now
I'm feeling better now
I feel much better now
Yeah I'm a human boy
Cause I'm a human boy
And I feel much better now
I'm a human boy
I'm feeling better now
Cause I'm a human boy
I feel much better now
