Silence is Golden Just like it was a thousand years ago Hold your tongue, keep it pressed and folded Like a salmon dress or a pink tuxedo Your enemies wear black pajamas Your enemies wear silk and lace Your enemies would never open their mouths In this kind of place So learn to close the mouth that feeds you Learn to zip the lips that blow Learn to suck the air inside you Swish it around, let it go Silence is Golden Just ask the sexy beast inside Let others do the talking for you Be cool Be secretive Be quiet Silence is …

Club Oslo 02:56
Who is feeling dumb, who is fun Anyone, anyone? Who feels funky beats in easy feet Properly, properly? Freak out! Jump in, Jump out! I've never disco'ed this way! See if she's my speed, take a seat Silently, silently When our eyes first meet, scope the scene Naturally, naturally Tell you God is like an egg I Put my hand upon your leg You And your body says "yes," but your head says "no" Freak out! Jump in, Jump out! Get out right before you freak out! Freak out! I've never disco'ed this way!

Spectacula 03:30
Who's the man in the 10-gallon hat with the girlie? She slips her underwear on like a cat Everybody, never forget a word I say (Spectacula) Do you want to be adored? Or do you want to ride her like a horse? Everybody, never forget a word I say Now do it! Every morning, wake up and face the day Every night, your brain produces alpha waves Everybody, never forget a word I say (Spectacula) Do you want to be loved? Girls, do you want to wear him like a glove? Everybody, never forget a word I say Shh... Are you sweating out your sheets at night? Are you getting excited about the new reality television? Well then, repeat after me (Spectacula) Never forget a word I say Never forget a word Now Spectacula says: "Yeah!"

Pass out outside Do it Head is covered under a separation Germans in the hot night fly through it Feeling calm, a thousand bombs blasting Britain Radio, radio Pick him up and drive him home The wife is on the phone From the the hall of the gods of war In the light of the night grocery store I think I believe In life worth living I know that I need Space to live in Dust collects and blood clots in the shower Stumble backward, lost the medication Locked it in the car, pry off the sunroof Swallow whole with milk you stole from the priesthood Sinuses full of mother and dad Blowing Krishnamurti‘s “I Am That” Lips of a prophet Nails of a thief Scratch for whiskey in the summer heat I think I believe In the world of Satan I know that I need Space to make him.

I'm cashing it out You're cashing it in I'm paying you, girlfriend But before we begin My wallet is full of glitter and lace My pants are enlarging You're running in place I'm living it up! We gonna get married We gonna get stoned Someday we'll play shuffleboard In a retirement home Well, you are a gypsy And I'm a man of the Book When you're telling my future Don't you give me that look I'm living it up! Now we're living together Now we're living apart Now we're selling our daughter To the pimp in the park (Check out of the chapel) A sparkling romance (Check out through the back door) I think I'm gonna throw up Lean out of the window Give it up, give it up! I'm living it up! (Check out of the chapel) Check in with the preacher (Check out through the back door) Give it up, give it up! Chapel of Love It's the way they do business In the state of Nevada Chapel of Love

Utopiathon 02:52
In the afternoon you stop and smell a flower by your shin On your way somewhere the sun demands information from your skin You’re going inside, you’re sitting inside the building Indian style There’s a wheel spinning clockwise on television And in your mind, you smile You’re a little boy or a little girl Born and raised in a beautiful world You sit by the window peeking out Make it up or you won’t make it out There’s an oriental rug laying on the floor where you walk There’s some serious men standing at the door, who want to talk Let them inside, they’re waiting inside the building with your files Binding you up with cords of love Injecting the drugs You sigh and smile You’re a little boy or a little girl Born and raised in a beautiful world There are no windows in this room Inside it’s dark like an empty tomb Smile! (Don’t let me out without it)

Look inside Small and white Roll around your eyes Hide and hide You were nice In my former life Don't believe it when I lie I will never say goodbye To the bubble All the sudden press a button Forget I never forget Go to places Furnished and spacious Having a wonderful time I am never gonna die I will never say goodbye To the bubble I remember Last December I remember you left me there Hard to get on Internet but I'll make a new memory there I will never be your friend If I never touch you again I will live forever Goodbye And I will never say goodbye To the bubble

Time Spills all over the earth. I wait it out under a cloud Cross, silver cross around your neck So many years Someone is singing: 'Behold the man' Homo A man is made of wood. I bit the nails, I spit them out Machine Machine, machine machine How many years? Blind lead the blind Blind into paradise No more pain, no more remembering The healing and the saving Behold the man

(Talk about your mother) (Talk about your father) I think I need a professional Give to me, give to me straight Talk about your mother An Indiana beauty queen Talk about your father Making out in a limousine, singing "Oo, oo, oo!" The clock is running So spend the money Picking up the pieces Put 'em back together Talk about the future Talk about the weather "Do you think this relates to Oedipus Rex? Can I pay for this session with a traveler's check? I just want to have the sex of a professional!" (Talk about your mother) (Talk about your father) How did I get like this? I think you're making it up as you go along Talk about your girlfriend Tongue-kissing a computer screen Talk about your boyfriend Making love to a magazine, singing "Oo, oo, oo!" Dissect the problem Analyze the problem Pick up the pieces Put them back together Gonna make an improvement Gonna make things better Do you think this prescription will help me relax From the migraine headaches and the panic attacks? I lash out in anger at the people at work I can't remember why I get up for church Make me over, make it hurt (Talk about your mother) (Talk about your father) How did I get like this? I think I'm making it up as I go along...

IMA Believer 02:49
When you open your eyes Will you continue to rise? You are floating and, oh, so supernatural I believe it! When you sip from the cup When you are shaking it up Well it's a miracle, so pan-American I believe it! I.M.A. believer! Sitting under the stars. Inside the USSR But I'm afraid of communists and Catholics I believe it! Back in the US of A The holy wheelchair brigade Is rolling seven times around the parapets I believe it! I.M.A. believer! I trust the man in the suit To speak of spiritual fruit But all his power is wrapped up in a Pompadour I believe it! After a laying on of hands We'll be making our demands So put your hands right up to the screen and say, "I believe it!" I.M.A . believer!

Smellovision 03:44
We've been frozen for ages On a tundra of foam We are losing our faculties I can't say that I love you I can't say much at all I can smell that you're near me The program is over The commercial is on I can't turn my head to turn you on The temperature's dropping I no longer draw breath Watching over and over The scene of my death Maybe I'll talk to Jesus And pretend that He's there Tell Him I've lived a lifetime On the air The channels are changing The broadcast is live In the middle of the night What are you watching? Can I watch what you're watching? Sitting around One more minute...

about

From the original 2006 press release for Cast Out Devils:

Formed at - and later expelled by - a fundamentalist bible school in 1996, Detholz! (pronounced 'Death Holes!') originally formed as a way for its members to vent anger and frustration with their evangelical upbringings and to make sense of their 'double lives,' which to this day straddle a fence between 'Religion' and 'Reality.'

Detholz! draws from a broad range of pop and avant garde music and personal histories defined by arcane religious subculture. The result is something that has consistently defied easy categorization and always produced the strongest of reactions, including accusations and threats of arrest for 'Satanic Worship', prayer circles at shows both for and against the band, and heated (sometimes physical) exchanges pitting fans vs. detractors (and sometimes fans vs. fans).

Laboring happily underground since its inception, Detholz! has toured extensively, sometimes using performances to stage elaborate spectacles, such as a Communist-Cadre/Lady-Liberty Tent Revival at the 2003 Cornerstone Christian Music festival (kicked-off with the North Korean national anthem ... sung in Korean). Following this particular performance, Detholz! were featured in the critically acclaimed documentary Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music, which led to invitations to join Wilco on their Ghost is Born tour and later support Danielson Familie for their release of Ships. Detholz! has also been privileged to tour and play with bands such as Weird War, Radio 4, The French Kicks, Electric Six, The Blacks and Thunderbirds Are Now. Individually, members have written, recorded and toured with artists such as The Staples Singers, Bobby Conn, and Baby Teeth.

As the band has developed, it's members have increasingly drawn inspiration from their conflicted pasts and ambivalent senses of spirituality. The musical results, soon to be revealed on their new aptly titled full-length Cast Out Devils, are far stranger, more experimental and more introspective than the ironic, documentary-style approach of earlier releases. "It has been a little more of us bringing out, dare I say, personal stuff and attempting sincerity in writing," says Karl (guitar/vocals). "And we don't do sincerity very directly.
