Swirly Girl Song lyrics by me music by Dave Flowers
swirly girl song lyrics by Shannon Kringen

envelope licked
sidewinder blinder
spread your eggs for the deviled legs
infinity divinity trinity
give me pragmatic diligence
wow
8 figure 8
open the great pyrenees gate
rising to the shine
infinity divinity trine
check it out
piece of glass
pass on grass
other forms of sassafrass
oooo
begs to level embezzle
aaaaahhhhh
in line with the flight
in spite of the tight deadline
unwind the time
transparent mind
burn the tide
swirly girl give it whirl
find the pearl
hey
checkerboard childhood
in the lively wild wood understood?
ahhh
the grapes are peeled
secrets revealed
curly queued up
lips unsealed
enliven the fog mind
tiny speck big effect
infinity ripple grapple that
baby or bathwater
nectarines avocado
its always been my motto
modus operandi no need to defendi
flying kites up higher heights
beyond the clouds
swirly girl give it whirl
find the pearl
hey
checkerboard childhood
in the lively wild wood understood?
ahhh
the grapes are peeled
secrects revealed
curly queued up
lips unsealed
hey, aren't you goddess kring?
why yes i am, wow
didn't you used to have a tv show or somethin?
ah yes i did, did you used to run around
with bodypaint in your birthday suit?
definitely yes, i think it's hot, i think it's cool
swirly girl give it whirl
find the pearl
hey
checkerboard childhood
in the lively wild wood understood?
ahhh
the grapes are peeled
secrets revealed
curly queued up
lips unsealed

thank you pete droge for the music

 i love this music. the magical musician i heard live last night at easy street records in west seattle. love the folk twang sound of pete droges voice and guitar tones. subtle bendy sonic sounds. i see beautiful shapes dancing in my head. i have synesthesia. i mix shape/color with sound and when i hear music i can smell foods i associate with the music.

Interactive Jack Records Seattle

 

Summer 2025 - After numerous delays, the much anticipated sophomore release from Goddess Kring is finally here! Featuring a large variety of genres in the pop music realm, Amplified Chameleon continues the style and charm of her highly celebrated interactive jack debut. Her knack for poetry and interesting vocal delivery shine in her second full length album. Supaflower explains a little about their process: "I built each track around a specific poem that she would show me. She would bring them into the studio and I'd listen and find inspiration in her words. While I was tracking the backing instrumentation, she would often sit and edit her poems or create additional lines. That would be the first couple of hours. Then we'd switch gears and record her vocals, adding harmonies or backing vocal parts all in one session. We would be so into our work that we'd often continue into the early morning hours. In most cases, these songs were finished in one or two recording sessions." The first single, Kaleidoscope Unicorn, was produced earlier this year and was leaked online by Goddess herself. "It's the perfect summer theme for a melancholic season." Originally based around an acoustic guitar chord pattern, the song eventually evolved into a full scale pop production and has since become a fan favorite! Also featured are a pair of upbeat songs recorded in collaboration with another interactive jack artist: Synthetic Summer. The track "Distracted by Reality V" is a strange and funky sequel to a series of conceptual Synthetic Summer tracks released on their own albums. The album is produced by the beloved studio wizard Supaflower, and you'll find something new with every listen. His fingerprints are all over this release and his attention to detail make it an adventure to listen to. Between his pop sensibility and Goddess KRING's clever and nuanced lyrics, this is a worthy listen.
