I’m gonna get you . . . off of your spot I’m gonna show you . . . what is and what’s not Take a bath in the sunlight The rays will be washing you clean Nothing left in the sunlight I can’t see a thing but the beam I’m gonna find you . . . light up the dark I’m gonna touch you . . . with fire and spark Take a bath in the sunlight The rays will be washing you clean Nothing left in the sunlight I can’t see a thing but the beam Take a bath in the sunlight The rays will be washing you clean Nothing left in the sunlight I can’t see a thing but the beam I’m gonna burn you . . . peel off the skin I’m gonna free you . . . don’t you want to begin? Take a bath in the sunlight Take a bath in the sun Take a bath in the sunlight Take a bath in the sun
2.	Elephant In The Room 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Up all night Sleep all day Try to find Find a way Through the rolling fog of truthiness Down is up Up is down Peg is square Hole is round In the turbid smog of truthiness When the evidence is overrated It’s there to be manipulated Elephant In the Room Elephant Day is night Night is day Black is white White is gray In the murky bog of truthiness Beat you up Knock you down Kick your butt Nick your crown It’s a rocky slog to truthiness When the evidence is overrated What you took for new is antiquated Elephant In the Room Elephant When the evidence is overrated The trivial is elevated

4.	Spiritual Mathematics 04:08	lyrics	buy track
We pass the hat because it keeps our dreams alive We need your money cuz it helps us to survive If you don’t give at all, well, God gets quite annoyed You’ll spend eternity cast into the void We pass the hat because our time is getting near We need your money to complete the fiscal year We pay our salaries and bills with petty cash And leave the rest of you forging through the trash We got so big We got so fat We got so hard What’s wrong with that? Well, it all adds up Yes, it all adds up Yes, it all adds up When the spirit calls When the spirit calls We take your money and we put it in the bank In case our real estate investments ever tank We lead the faithful and they do what they are told So we can build our church with spires made of gold We got so much We got so rich We leave you scraps So why do you bitch? Because it all adds up Yes, it all adds up Yes, it all adds up When the spirit calls When the spirit calls When the spirit calls You’ve got to have the balls To buy shopping malls And Niagara Falls When the spirit calls You’ve got to have it all You’ve got to have it all You’ve got to have it all
5.	Arbitrage For Dummies 06:34	lyrics	buy track
Did you think that it would be so different? Did you think that anything would change by now? You should know Human nature stays the same Every time I look away Someone’s got a price to pay With everything in disarray Apocalypse is under way Did you think that it would be so beautiful? Best of all, this is irrefutable All the time we steal away Someone’s got a bill to pay We’re drowning in the cabernet Arbitrage is under way Every time I go astray Something takes my breath away The curtain closes on this cabaret Armageddon is under way The curtain closes on this cabaret
6.	Wagon Circle Thievery Dirge 03:28	lyrics	buy track
We’re not gonna leave you alone Covered wagons circle your home You don’t stand a chance We’re too strong And we have borne the brunt for too long Away Go away Go We’re not gonna leave you in peace Until every cent you stole is released Away Go away Away Away Go Away

8.	Uncontrollable Urge 05:18	lyrics	buy track
I don’t know what to do Got jello for a brain Picking up the pieces From the molten lava rain Blew up half the world Left the other half to die Choking on the junk Falling from the sky Uncontrollable urge Undeniable surge Massive data purge Uncontrollable I’m stuck inside a cell I built for myself Pictures on the shelf My family from hell I can’t bear the sun I don’t leave the house Credit cards undone With the clicking of a mouse Uncontrollable urge Undeniable surge Massive data purge Uncontrollable No one even cares No one ever sees I just disappear Invisible disease Uncontrollable urge Undeniable surge Massive data purge Uncontrollable Uncontrollable urge Uncontrollable Uncontrollable Uncontrollable

10.	Home 03:22	lyrics	buy track
I’m crawling back to you Home I know where I belong Home We keep the fire warm Home My girls are waiting for me Home I can’t believe what I see in this world I can’t suspend disbelief in this world We keep the madness out Home You’re always welcome here Home I can’t believe what I dream for this world I hang my hat anywhere in this world Home in my heart and my heart lies with you Home in my heart and my heart lies with you Home Home We’ll keep the fire warm Home We’ll keep the fire warm Home We’ll keep the fire warm Home
11.	I Evade You 03:32	lyrics	buy track
I am the puzzle you can never resolve The stain you cannot dissolve I am the gold lost down the drain The ghost riding on the wings of the plane I am the time you can never get back The qualities you will always lack I am the word on the tip of the tongue Forgotten photos of when you were young I evade you I evade you I am the aura that blinds your eyes Possibilities you could never realize The glue pulling you to the earth The devil child never given birth I am the dream that you can’t recall The glass eye that you took off the ball I am the message that you never sent A missing circus and an empty tent I evade you I evade you I am the force you cannot resist The revolution you cannot desist I sell tickets to the end of days And leave you hanging in an empty maze I evade you I evade you I am the puzzle you could never resolve I persuade you The stain that you could never dissolve I invade you

about

Sunlight Disinfectant is Wishnefsky’s 7th solo record.

Inspired by Louis Brandeis’ timeless observation that sunlight is the best disinfectant, Wishnefsky powers up his songwriting searchlight and illuminates the dark corners of our collective imaginations wherein reside the smallest glimmers and flickers of truth.

Lyrically, SD tackles the vicious propensity for flimflam of some among us who would describe day as night and feign marvel at our disbelief.

Musically, SD features Wishnefsky’s trademark blend of electronica and indie rock. Synths mingle with electric guitars while digital textures mesh with organic elements.

Wishnefsky composed, performed, and produced SD.

Ruby Wellen played cello on Arbitrage For Dummies.

Michael James and Wishnefsky mixed SD. So as to set the record straight, Michael may rightly claim responsibility for anything that sounds good in the mixes, whereas Wishnefsky bears full culpability for anything that offends your ears.

Ed Nahin took and manipulated the cover photograph.

You might be interested to learn that after a long hiatus during which Wishnefsky refused to venture forth from his studio/bat-cave/padded cell, he is now performing live with the more-than-able assistance of ex-Jabberwock drummer extraordinaire Dave Rodgers and brilliant bassist R. Matthew Carroll.

If you are so inclined, please feel free to visit Wishnefsky.com and join the email list for updates on all things Wishnefsky, including, of course, when and where he, Dave, and R. Matthew will be performing next.
