    Between the Outfield and Outer Space is an examination of the dark side of nostalgia, self-delusion and ignorance. It is an album about struggling to make sense of the incomprehensible during unprecedented times. It both celebrates and despairs over the individual's smallness against the great gears of society and the universe at large. We put our entire selves into it, and we hope you can take something worthwhile out of it. Limited count of 300 12" LP's on translucent green vinyl, release by Denver champion of independent rock & roll Snappy Little Numbers.

lyrics

Can you really consider it a rite of passage
If you never even let it pass
But you could never help being such a badass
Ripping round in your black Trans Am
Never let 'em tell you it's going outta style
That you're the last of a dying breed
We can still rule it all from top row
of the Lieder Field nosebleeds

If it's all been done, we'll do it again
Some friends stay put, some friends have left
We still got us, yeah to hell with them
We can still kick it in our basements

Now I can wear my dad's old softball jacket
From the year they were county champs
And we can play a show at the American Legion
Like we did with our high school bands
I saw you slumped against the wall, you were staring at
A Baywatch poster on the door
Sucking on the end of a dying cigarette
I guess the glory days are back once more

From way up here on the overpass
We can watch em all just racing past
Killing time and crushing cans
We're forever champs

Whoaaaa
We are the champions
We are the champions
We are the champs of the basement
If weeeee miss our glory days
We’ll turn back the clock so they always stay
The world used to be such a smaller place
In the basement, everything will be okay

Let ‘em jam up the highway
Let ‘em gridlock 78
When they come for us it won’t matter
Baby nobody’s getting away
