lyrics
V E R S E 1
When Robin saw that chiseled stone
She thought she’d found an ancient monument
A totem that the earth had suddenly dislodged
And something moved in her
It took some work to find again
Without a trail, eight miles from the road
She swore Eugene to secrecy and brought him there
They rested in its shadow,
Couldn’t take their eyes away
And soon the news got out.
C H O R U S 1
Who knew where it came from?
What mysteries it was there to show.
How did it speak to them?
They only knew they had to know,
They had to know
V E R S E 2
At first Dale thought it’s all a hoax
Promotion for some science fiction film
But once he reached the site,
its presence blew his mind
This had to be Kurt Brown
It shared Brown’s otherworldly traits
Those strange late earthworks built near Santa Fe
The crowning glory of the artist’s long career
Those other fools had no idea
what jewel they’d stumbled on
Dale was the only one...
C H O R U S 2
Who knew where it came from
What mysteries it was there to show.
How would it speak to them?
He only knew they had to know.
They had to know.
B R I D G E
Finn saw alien travelers.
George saw a burial mound.
Mason saw a false idol,
vowed to tear it to the ground.
Marc and Michelle saw wedding plans,
and sixty people came.
Jill saw God.
Zack saw a place
where he could carve his name.
V E R S E 3
When Yeong first found that solid rock
She saw a way to carve her final piece
She knew that it could take her
more than fifteen years
She hoped she had enough
She never spoke a word of it
The truth is that she liked to work alone
Her giant little secret in the desert wilds
“Don’t bring the people to your art,
the art will find its way”
It didn’t die with Yeong.
C H O R U S 3
Who knows where it came from?
What mysteries it was bound to grow?
How did it speak through her?
She only knew (only knew)
she had to show (had to show)
She had to know
C H O R U S 4
Who knows where it comes from?
This spark we can’t hold onto or let go
Who gets to speak for it?
Who builds the fire? (builds the fire)
Who feels the glow? (feels the glow)
Who will ever know?
When Robin saw that chiseled stone
She thought she’d found an ancient monument
A totem that the earth had suddenly dislodged
And something moved in her
It took some work to find again
Without a trail, eight miles from the road
She swore Eugene to secrecy and brought him there
They rested in its shadow,
Couldn’t take their eyes away
And soon the news got out.

The Warm, Dark Circus
by Jack O' The Clocksupported by 4 fans who also own “Where It Came From”
What a major leap forward Damon has made! While I've liked virtually everything that he's released under the Jack O' The Clock moniker, this is by far my favorite. The combination of those opening two songs tells it all--and "Dürer's Rhinocerous" is one of the best prog epics of 2023. And still there remains the tender story teller, master of multi-layered melodies in "Stuck Inside of Elvis" and "...and Who Will Tell Us?" The album is a masterpiece! Bravo Damon & company!

The songs on “Gallery” are inspired by various works of art, lovingly translated into goth-tinged indie pop.
