Wasting time
Life played out, it was just fine
Wonder why
My reflection won’t meet my eye’
and then I met her
Knew I had to get her
All my thoughts a carousel
Spinning out of control
Call up the doctor, call up the police
I just got my heart stole by a girl named Alise, oh
Call up your rabbi and call up your priest
Cuz I can’t stop thinking dirty ‘bout my baby Alise, oh
Like a dream
In her shades she’s cool and sweet
I can’t breathe
Anytime she looks at me
In Summer weather
We stay hot together
She’s a song I wanna learn
How to play perfectly
Green dress on the floor
Just inside the door
Lipstick on my shoulder
Eyes that smoke and smolder

The Wood Nymph

In the dream I was young
In the woods running from something
Big and dark and hungry
Then a voice called to me
Sweet and clear from the trees saying
Come and find your lover
When I wake up I must write down
Everything I remember
Cuz the days are so short and the year
Is a dark dreary sprint to December
Then I saw eyes so bright
Shining out like a light
From the shadow of a thicket
Full of impish mischief
Then her hand on my face
Leading to an embrace
In the arms of an immortal
A dark haired wood nymph
When I wake up I must go back
Back to sleep, back to dreaming
Where I think I can feel just as young
And as real as the girl in the forest
The cold, tried to drag me back
In to a frost tipped web of thorns
Alive, like a demon wind
With teeth and wings and horns
The nymph laughed above me and banished the thing
By blowing a kiss that awakened the spring
When I woke up the chill was gone
And the shadows receded
She was there next to me
Warm and real not a dream
All that I ever needed
She’s all I ever needed
The one thing that I needed

The Obliging Victims Cincinnati, Ohio
The Obliging Victims is a band of one—the brainchild of Cincinnati musician Kelley Kombrinck (vocalist/guitarist for
longtime Cincy band “Pike”) who writes performs and produces every aspect of the dark psychedelic rock project.
A blend of sixties and seventies rock refracted through a prism of modern influences (grunge, LA psych scene, doom) to create a fuzzy, lo fi, psychedelic trip.

A terrifically woozy slab of psychedelic stoner rock, where big riffs grind against saxophones, omnichords, and more.

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies.
