about

Earth was Treacherous Jaywalkers' debut album. It was released in April 1986 on cassette in an edition of 61 copies, on their PJD label.

lyrics

Shot out of a cannon
Circus of the stars
You can party on down
And you won't be alarmed
Turn on your T.V.
And see some nice places
You don't care if it's a charade
'Cause you look up to these faces

And I still can't believe
Centuries old
These "people" take their names
And I still can't believe
How the essence of life
Could be shot down
Like an eagle in flight

What a nice world
Fast cars and bikinis
Too bad it isn't real
Eating sportaginis
The cops are real stylish
The latest in the trend
They really care about human feelings
And what comes around that bend

The cops you see on Miami Vice
Are not real people
They are products of a producer's head
And his need to make money
When you turn on Dynasty
You'll see what I mean
This is not reality
It's a money maker's dream

And I still can't believe
Centuries old
These "people" take their names
And I still can't believe
How the essence of life
Could be shot down
Like an eagle in flight
