    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.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Kids Fly Free via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Little Miss Mystery

Chin in palm, cupped and charming, sitting in a town café
Water put up, water warming, sits Little Miss Mystery
She's an artist, she's a poet, she's a singer in a band
I sure hope that I don't blow it when I ask her for her hand
When I ask her for her hand

The lights play upon her features like a breath drawn by Monet
I watch her, proud and speechless, as the waitress brings her tea
It's so simple, it's so ageless, it's called love in every land
Still I wonder will she say yes when I ask her for her hand
When I ask her for her hand

You'd think holding hands was no big deal
In a world as mad as this
But if you think I'm shaking now
Wait until I ask her for a kiss

Pray for me, my friends, I beg you, cause I'm going over there
No soldier facing foes uncounted ever felt one tenth as scared
Am I crazy? Will she hate me? Will I be forever banned?
Regardless, Miss Mystery, I have come here for your hand
I have come for your hand
