lyrics

1.6 million years ago
There was a boy, there was a boy
Dying on the plains of Africa
But was he too old, was he too old?

You found a way to differentiate
You were not Man, you were not Ape
Sticking around to give us Humans hope
But some people sayin’ that you missed the boat

Your Mother loved you, your Father tried
You gave of yourself when you had to die
Preserved in the dirt where you laid to rest
Putting religion to the test

Turkana Boy, Turkana Boy
Did you go to heaven?
Turkana Boy, Turkana Boy
Did you go to heaven?

about

Rearranging the Furniture St. Cloud, Minnesota

After playing bass for Bacteria Lounge, Those Lamplighters and Grady, I thought I'd try and do some writing and recording.
Thanks for your time. Pete Domeier
