1.Stick Shaker - words by j.salzman
Fault lines on ya
Don’t you run away
I know just the
Thing for you to say
Wanna want to
See you in the light
Of the lamp that promises
Everything tonight
Fault lines on ya
You don’t wanna hear
What I would do
Just to have you near
Lies and secrets
Told with such delight
Breaking all the promises
Of everything tonight
2. Dog and Pony Parade - words by crumpler
Knights of promise away
I’ve got nothing to say
Dog and Pony parade
On and on inane
Queen of honest decay
Please don’t try to stay
Dog and Pony parade
Awful one today
You wander down the break
It’s a mistake
Every time you look to see around the
Beads upon your rosary you find me
High
King of metal meringue
Fuck you go away
Dog and Pony parade
On and on inane
3. Everything is Here - words by j.salzman
A night of impeccable lies with you
Away from the fodder you’ll find there too
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
Stay here
The light from my handy against your wall
Away from the candy and alcohol
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
Stay here
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
Stay here
Away away away all day
Away from the madness
Today today today no way
To free from the sadness
All we are is in between
And all we know is what we’ve seen
And everything is here
A night of impeccable lies with you
Away from the fodder you’ll find there too
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
Stay here
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
Stay here
I can’t say but it’s better if I stay here
4. Going Away - words by c. radke
Can’t you see
This is only a fractured attempt of me
I walk through doors that have no address
And never find my way
Friends that tell
Ain’t it funny how the ripple effect can swell
They say that time will fill the chasm
While digging their escape
Her only crime is it took so long to say it
I’d take it back but it seems my words are wasted
Can’t count the reasons why
She said she’s going away
And though it makes her cry
She said she’s going away
Oh no she said she’s going away
Gentle burn
And I am stuck where the world has refused to turn
You find your comfort with another
I just can’t stay awake
Open wide
Does it sadden as the feeling just drips aside
The blood would dry if not collected
And saved for your mistake
5. Meet @ 12 - words by j. salzman
You wanted tonight’s time
To be at least a trade
But you ran into my line
And everything began to fade
You said it the last time
Don’t be afraid to change
Be ready to move the line
And everything began to say…
What I want is just to find you
Got an off peak travel card
At the end it’s Covent Garden
You find out the right time
It seems so awful strange
When you erase the line
And you start a blue new day
6. Manson Lamps - words by crumpler
Set upon leaving me now
And I’m not sure what to say
Stare at the screen into those things
A message of love I send you
A picture of what I mean
Taken it down because he has
It’s all inside your head she said
It’s all around you
You follow it to find your own way back to home
Over the top you’re sending
The places where I can breathe
And carry the weight of the whole thing
You register falls that break me
I listen to your complaint
Fumble our way to the same end
It’s all inside your head she said
It’s all around you
You follow it to find your own way back to home
It’s all inside your head she said
It’s all around you
You follow it to find your own way back to home
7. The Whiff - words by c. radke
Ever see the way
Your knees close around your head
Once I get the taste
She’ll clutch the sheets and wake the dead
Here she comes
Here she comes
I’ve seen the way
You close your eyes and grit your teeth
Hands upon my face
You drift away in sweet relief
Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes
8. We’ll Figure It Out - words by crumpler
A Thread, a tenuous connection
It’s said, you’ll find the right direction
I’ve read all your science fiction
A pin-up defines the arts direction
A Note, a darkening a tension
I see all the apprehension
Alone, with all of your protection
Silence screams of your intentions
I can see the mountains
But I can’t see my hands in front of my face
All I wanna do is run you down
I can bleed the sunshine 'til it comes down from here
The same, a simple correlation
No way to find the right direction
I give up any expectation
And resolve to never hear the question
I can see the mountains
But I can’t see my hands in front of my face
All I wanna do is run you down
I can bleed the sunshine 'til it comes down from here
All I wanna do is run you down
I can bleed the sunshine 'til it comes down from here
9. See You Next Tuesday - words by j. salzman
On my way back home
I just should have known
Won’t you look again
Help me understand
Wanted for us to be walking around with the dead
Wondered if you could have just understood it instead
Oh oh oh no
After all this time
Nothing there to find
Wanted for us to be walking around with the dead
Wondered if you could have just understood it instead
Oh oh oh no
