Their live shows, known for their raw energy and unpredictability, resonate with audiences and reflect the band’s commitment to authenticity.

Title: “Absurdity’s Waltz”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
G C G D
Life’s a dance we’re spinning in,
G C G D
A waltz of joy, a twist of sin.
G C G D
We laugh, we cry, we lose, we win,
G C G D
In this absurdity’s waltz, we’re in.

(Chorus)
Em C G D
Kooky Fraud, we play the tune,
Em C G D
Underneath the laughing moon.
Em C G D
Come join, before it ends too soon,
Em C G D
In this absurdity’s waltz, under the moon.

(Verse 2)
G C G D
Fate’s hand deals cards we cannot see,
G C G D
In this game of life, what will be, will be.
G C G D
Kooky Fraud, we sing the decree,
G C G D
In this absurdity’s waltz, we’re free.

(Chorus)
Em C G D
Kooky Fraud, we play the tune,
Em C G D
Underneath the laughing moon.
Em C G D
Come join, before it ends too soon,
Em C G D
In this absurdity’s waltz, under the moon.
