Intro 00:11

My lady she’s so shiny My lady she love’s me fine My lady she’s so shiny My lady she love’s me fine My forest is always dying My coal mine’s always dry My lady, she’s always crying Electricity is just fine What if I don’t leave here today? I’ll never get to hear you sing My lady she’s so shiny My lady she love’s me fine I always catch my lady Inside my coal mine She’s always steering Sometimes off the tracks She’s always veering When I turn my back But if I don’t tell the rose I love hear today My phone will never ring I’ll never get to hear you sing.

Alice 02:03
Staid and sober Alice Why did you have to ride the shooting stars I knew you were fast Alice But why did you have to ride that far? I didn’t mean to be your man Alice I didn’t mean to be your bad potato chip Now I’m nothing Alice But in your head and I’m singing drip, drip, drip… Stay (oh stay)

My House 03:57
Cause I don't know anyone in this town I never had a brother who enjoyed to come around I never knew a lady who enjoyed a spot so shady as me I always know a descent tree And when I go stumbling home Everyone must realize we all need to be alone And when I said “what?” Made me want to shut the door I had another kiss on your lips Made me want to go some more So come spend a week, a day at my house Come enjoy the creek as you sleep at my house Always have a friendly bay And always have a place to lay your aching bed An older sibling’s bed And that was, was so long ago Stuck in the drifts and I’m playing in the snow And when the comets came and blew down the starry sea I should go cause your too young for me My mama said “What’s going on?” Saying I said, there’s something wrong
5.
Way Down 02:35
I want to find a day Way down where the people lay I want to find a face When I need somebody Well everyone thinks I need to be saved But I’m alright as long as my little sister is safe I want to find a day Way down where the people lay Well everyone says I need to be saved But I’ll be alright as long as my little sister is safe Wanna find a day Way down where the people lay I wanna stay…
6.
Nobody Knows 02:48
Nobody knows About the darkness that dwells inside my soul Everybody’s growing old Some are sleeping in the cold And everyone who cares I guess well that’s alright Smoking on the moonbeams And dancing through the night The reason that we’re holding hands Is that we ain’t got nothing left And why do all the pretty girls Have to smoke that last cigarette It’s okay she said Blowing my mind and exploding inside my head It’s okay she said Watch out we’re all gonna be dead

There was a time when that would seem so far out and radical A time we’d dance all night And get soaked in the moonlight There was a time, but that was so far out And radical But it’s all over now There was a time that seemed so far out But it’s all over now And things are no longer radical And things are no longer radical But it's so far out...
9.
When you're sick of the pale body sleeping in your bed For what you thought was gonna be the last time When you're sick of always thinking that you're telling the truth You gotta go out and tell yourself a lie Why don't you go and make a pretty girl cry? (Lies, lies...) Why don't you go and make a pretty girl cry? (Lies, lies...) Well I'm sick of the reaper sleeping in my bed For what I thought was gonna be the last time I'm sick of always thinking that I'm telling the truth I wanna go way out and tell me a lie I wanna go, I wanna make, pretty girl cry (Lies, lies...) I want to tell myself a lie (Lies, lies...)
10.
Things are looking down But I'm looking towards The summer sunshine her and me Time to look the sun right into it's eye As you wash yourself in your own vanity and You can change your face but you can't make up your mind You can change your pace but you can't change mine I'm walking in the summer sunshine Cemetery sunshine Her and me Her and me Stuck on the bottom Never asked my help You try to take a step towards changing yourself Tried to take a call Tried to ease your mind You end up speeding up to rush and take your time And you can change your face but you can't make up your mind You can change you're pace but you can't change mine I'm walking in the summer sunshine That cemetery sunshine Her and me The doctor that you saw Said you were depressed Staring at the mirror trying to ease your stress Your mother threw you out And said you were alright You thought you won you're battle But you never won the fight So punch him in the face, try to punch him in the face But you cannot knock him down Punch him in the face, try to punch him in the face But you end up on the ground cause I'm walking in the summer sunshine Her and me
11.
Sneaking past the gravestones to live into the night Pretty eyes reflecting in the pale moonlight Well, tell me who you are and if you think it’s alright Running past your best friend’s window in the night Motorcycle Riding down the dark, dark street Well I can finally feel my heart beat I need speed Well, what about her she don’t need it anymore I can never tell the virgin from the whore Motorcycle Riding down the dark, dark street Tell me who you are and what you think Motorcycle Riding wound the dark, dark street I can finally feel my heart beat I'm finally coming down She don't need it any more

Wide eyes at the moon All they want is to be loved And to be somebody else Sad bloodsuckers Standing tall in the mirrors But crying when they don't see themselves Wishing they can wipe their eyes And have the faith to run Skipping with a smile straight into the morning sun Every cold winter night there's a smile somewhere Brothers, sisters dancing in the rain Decomposing trying Just trying to ease the pain The red sun's nothing is something or other But some other evil lovers try to do nothing but complain Trying to do nothing but just try to ease the pain Wishing they can wipe their eyes And have the faith to run Skipping with a smile straight into the morning sun At least I'm trying Into the morning sun Where everything begun Into morning sun Straight out of town Way down into Straight out into The morning sun

It's hard for me to grab what you say's already mine It's hard for me to think that way all the time Passing by the mirrors Always looking at myself Did you see that shooting star? I did not I was looking at something else Brighter by far You're brighter by far Take me outside It's hard for me to think like that all the time Couldn't see that shooting star cause I was looking at something else Running past the mirrors Always looking at myself But YOU'RE BRIGHTER BY FAR

about

This album contains a collection of early recordings that we intended to release in 2002 as well as a collection of rough demos that were created around the same time. Most tracks were recorded on a four track tape deck in the basement of Mike's old home on Barkley avenue.

In loving memory of those we have lost including Jon, Danielle Chucka, John Costello, Danny Mooney and of course, Mr. Kezner.
