Oxy’s Morons
The Story
Oxy’s Morons – Album Origin Story
Oxy’s Morons marks a new creative stride for SixFootStilts, a bold, witty, and musically layered exploration of the contradictions that define our world. Built on the band’s long-standing chemistry and love of concept albums, this project leans into the messy middle where logic meets lunacy, where clarity and confusion coexist, and where the human condition reveals its most paradoxical truths.
Musically, the album blends alt-rock, indie pop, and art-punk textures with the band’s signature knack for narrative. Each track occupies its own little universe of groove, satire, and emotional honesty. The songs move between sharp social commentary and playful self-awareness, holding up a mirror to modern life while never taking themselves too seriously.
Lyrically, Oxy’s Morons shines a light on the everyday absurdities we’ve learned to accept, the systems that glitch, the beliefs that contradict, the rituals we follow out of habit, and the strange ways we try to make sense of it all. The album challenges listeners to laugh at the madness, question the obvious, and maybe even see themselves in the chaos.
Crafted with care, shaped by lived experience, and driven by a spirit of fearless experimentation, Oxy’s Morons stands as a testament to the band’s ongoing evolution. It’s smart, playful, reflective, and unmistakably SixFootStilts! A record that entertains as much as it invites deeper thought.
Oxy
The Morons
They were found in the woods of Carolina
Raised by wolves til day that Oxy found them
They couldn’t speak didn’t have any shoes
But they all knew how to find that sweet sweet groove yeah
Oh Wild Baby Bubba and Ugly Daisy
Laying down the back beat with Twyla and Maisie
Twiddle Dee and Dumb have trouble counting to five
But give them a guitar they’ll blow your mind yeah
Oxy gives the Moron’s a wink they’re ready to perform
A hush falls over the crowd a calm before the storm
Oh Little Billy Joe and Skinny Bob
Got the crossed up eyes along with Tater Tot
They sit around and drool all day
But these misfits are masters when they hit that stage yeah
Oxy gives the Moron’s a nod yeah they’re ready to play
When the lights go down the place goes insane
As strange as it seems they can all play like a dream
It’ll take you places that you’ve never been yeah
Sit back take it all in you’ll never hear anything like it again
It’ll take you places that you’ve never been yeah
As strange as it seems they can all play like a dream
It’ll take you places that you’ve never been yeah
Sit back take it all in you’ll never hear anything like it again
It’ll take you places that you’ve never been yeah
Definite Maybe
I can see from the icy stare yah your trying to freeze me out
Feels like any other day yah you know what I’m talking about
All I ever get is this and that do you even know where it’s at
Had it up to here with come see come saw
Just give me the straight goods baby don’t wanna hear that double talk
Get over yourself climb off of that fence
Don’t cha know your driving me crazy
All I want is just a little romance not another definite maybe
Do you even have a clue yah how you exasperate
Oh can’t you just make up your mind yah either fish or cut bait
Gave you an inch you took a mile said you’d get back to me in a short while
There’s little understanding for the finer things in life
You never had it better yet your still unable to decide
Get over yourself climb off of that fence
Don’t cha know your driving me crazy
All I want is just a little romance not another definite maybe
Should I stay or should I go is this as good as it gets
Gonna make like the wind and blow if you keep hedging your bets
All I want is just a little romance not another definite maybe
All I want is just a little romance not another definite maybe
All I want is just a little romance not another definite maybe
Solitary Companion
Just another day that has faded away
Stumble in the dark to an empty bed
Ponder the things I should a did
Got nothing to share lots of crosses to bare
Like the eagle I soar alone
Just me and my shadow getting stoned
Oh I can see what I’ve slowly become yeah solitary companion of one
I wanted to play somehow went astray
Swear to God gave the old college try
Always came back to me myself and I
So I lived like a King controlling everything
Oh it was a ride being my own boss
But who’s holding my hand when I cross
Oh I can see what I’ve slowly become yeah solitary companion of one
Oh I can see what I’ve slowly become yeah solitary companion of one
Open Secret
Come on baby sit in my lap let have ourselves a little chat
Hollywood can be a twisted mess but there is a pathway for success
How far are you willing to go how bad you want that starring role
You scratch his back he’ll scratch yours it’s an open secret
Oh say it isn’t so the emperor has no clothes
Oh we were told to turn a blind eye but everybody knows
Rumors flying all around quiet whispers fill the air
Innuendo may make no sound but the nuance is loud it’s loud and clear
Pretty blonde in the steno pool yah she barely got through school
Somehow climbed the ladder of success so much faster than the rest
How far are you willing to go how bad you want that management role
You scratch his back he’ll scratch yours it’s an open secret
Oh say it isn’t so the emperor has no clothes
Oh we were told to turn a blind eye but everybody knows
Rumors flying all around quiet whispers fill the air
Innuendo may make no sound but the nuance is loud it’s loud and clear
Yah everybody knows it’s an open secret
Yah everybody knows it’s an open secret
It’s an open secret it’s an open secret
Yah everybody knows it’s an open secret
Yah everybody knows it’s an open secret an open secret
Freedom's Cage
I clocked the miles I’ve earned my name built a life inside the frame
Raised the kids chased the prize lost some days I can’t reprise
Now the pace it’s mine to set fewer miles but no regret
I write in chords I work in play I saved the joy for greyer days
I used to chase now I define what freedom means in real time
These hands are worn but they still give
I got more life yeah I want to live
This cage I built with time and grace
Oh gives me space yeah to leave my trace
The stage is small but the sound runs deep
As Oxy’s boy’s wake from their sleep
The songs not meant for charts or fame
They’re how we light the fading flame
The audience they might be small I try my best to heed the call
My heart and soul lay on the line as days pass by through fading time
I used to chase now I define what freedom means in real time
These hands are worn but they still give
I got more life yeah I want to live
This cage I built with time and grace
Oh gives me space yeah to leave my trace
Silent Screams
A penny for your thoughts you don’t say much but yet you say a lot
Live the quiet life of mystery
And even with that poker face I know your in that dark dark place
Lost among the secrets that you keep
You gotta let it out sometime you gotta unburden your mind
You act is cool so serene but underneath a raging stream
Showing all your cards without a word
The truth it circles all around the quiet saying more than sound
Through the stillness this is what I heard
Oh silent screams making my ears bleed
Oh silent screams yeah they are deafening they go right through me
You gotta let it out sometime yeah you gotta unburden your mind
Oh it’s an aura it’s a vibe an eerie feel a tacit cry
You make no sound yet I hear it vividly
Like a science fiction book you send off with just a look
Communicating telepathically
Oh silent screams making my ears bleed
Oh silent screams yeah they go right through me
Oh silent screams yeah they are deafening making my ears bleed
Together Apart
We used to huddle when darkness fell under the stars our stories we’d tell
The pack was the shelter the tribe was the way
A warm fire kept hunger and dread at bay
Now I long for the simpler time the answer we sought was so easy to find
They screw with our heads our ancient souls
Stoking the fear in the feeds we scroll
Were dancing in circles like puppets on a string
They can say just about anything
United we stand divided we fall
Together apart yeah jokes on us all together apart
Day by day all across the land the truth disappears as the bubble expands
And week after week as the history’s erased
They say not to worry everything is great
But common sense can win the day build bridges not walls it’s the better way
It’s never too late to choose what is right
So stand up and shout get involved with the fight
Were dancing in circles like puppets on a string
They can say just about anything
United we stand divided we fall
Together apart yeah jokes on us all together apart
Together but apart cause we ghost every dream
Jokes on us cause we shout to be seen
Together but apart cause we weaponize pain
Why all the fuss cause we make it a game
Together but apart cause we echo our side
Jokes on us cause we fracture the vibe
Together but apart cause we live for the fight
Why all the fuss yeah we think were so right
Wise Fool
You gotta read the room if your gonna bring the boom
Read the signs stay alert keep your eyes peeled
If your looking to get ahead wanna be the man instead
Stop flapping your gums keep your lips sealed
It’s the wise fool who keeps his big mouth shut
Even the Moron’s know not to speak and remove all doubt
So if you wanna run the show keep-em guessing keep-em on their toes
The less you say the more they think you know
It’s the wise fool who keeps his big mouth shut
Even the Moron’s know not to speak and remove all doubt
When you wanna make them think that everything is in the pink
Then don’t say a word just smile and wink
It’s the wise fool who keeps his big mouth shut
Even the Moron’s know not to speak and remove all doubt
When you know all the rules use properly all the tools
You too can easily be the wise fool
Bitter Sweet
There’s nothing that I would not do I’d stop a bullet for you
Gave you my heart and soul still I’m treated like an animal
Caught in a cross fire slave to my hearts desire
The love you keep yah it’s bitter sweet
Blood runs hot and cold these games are getting old
Saw you banging in the sack felt the steel going in my back
Caught in a cross fire slave to my hearts desire
The love you keep yah it’s bitter sweet
Caught in a cross fire slave to my hearts desire
The love you keep yah it’s bitter sweet
Found Missing
Disappeared somewhere near Shoshone
Found her car by the side of the road
It’s a sad story that’s often told
She was found missing she slipped away like the sun sun
Three pensioners just up and left
Gone without a trace got the cops perplexed
They were found missing and have never come back
Have never come back
Half a million people will disappear in the USA every year
Where did they go so many people so many tears
Florinda Donner yeah spiritual gal
Hanging out with Carlos her life was swell
Along side Carol Tiggs Tasha Abelar too
All major players in the witch’s brew
They were found missing after their mentor fell fell
Didn’t turn out so well
So take my advice hold on tight
To the people you love while they’re still in sight
Oh so many found missing oh so many tears
Change is the Rule
I hammered out words on a worn wooden desk
With ink on my hands and a mind under stress
No shortcut, no cheat, just the ache and the grind
And the hope that a chorus could influence a mind
A million new voices with nothing to say
They chase after likes while meaning strays
It’s flash without fire, it’s noise without name
And none of them notice it all sounds the same
They say adapt or get left behind
I still work it by heart, not by design
Change is the rule, and rules keep changing
Feeling gets lost in the noise they’re arranging
Let the circuits perform, let the copies pretend
Soul wasn’t meant to mimic and blend
Still grip the pen like a craftsman in school
Not chasing the market, not playing the fool
No blueprint for heart, no shortcut for soul
Still follow the beat—it’s the songwriter’s goal
They say adapt or get left behind
I still work it by heart, not by design
You can clone every sound
But only humans are unbound
Change is the rule, and rules keep changing
Feeling gets lost in the noise they’re arranging
Let the circuits perform, let the copies pretend
Soul wasn’t meant to mimic and blend
You can code all the notes…
But can’t code the costs…
Of the lines we lived before they were lost…
Living Ghost
Her morning brew staged like a magazine spread
But her captions smiled more than she did
Her eyes, rehearsed to hide the ache
But a tear broke through in the silent take
She hashtagged joy while pain was hid
Her coffee cooled while the feed was fed
She typed “I’m fine” with her hands still shaking
Her post got hearts, while hers was breaking
Her face was framed, but hard to find
She started vanishing a pixel at a time
Pretending was her daily undertaking
Just hearts and scrolls, while she was faking
I fed the glow and played the part
While something died inside my heart
Living like a ghost in a virtual lie
Lip-syncing love for a dopamine high
She’s a hollow queen shooting a reel,
But lost the part where life is real
Her smile has been seen on a thousand screens
Do we all have the same social curse?
We’re pixel-deep and presence-thin
Faces lit for liking, scared of what’s within
Our hunger masked the inner thirst
Just strangers caught in social machines
I fed the glow and played the part
While something died inside my heart
Some call it sharing, some call it fame,
We’re too busy scrolling to learn her name
Living like a ghost in a virtual lie
Lip-syncing love for a dopamine high
She’s a hollow queen shooting a reel,
But lost the part where life is real
A face remembered, but never known,
She’ll haunt your feed, but scrolls alone.
