Hear the jodies ringin’ in the back of your mind, singin’
C47 comin down the line
It's a nice thought, gettin home overnight
But a week in a cot on the Queen Mary deck is alright
And if it goes down there ain't a thing that the devil could do
To hold a candle to what some of these [boys/folks/people] have been through
If you ever get used to sleeping in a real bed
You keep on living your life as if you thought that you were already dead
The rotors kick up dust til everybody’s blind
With the 27 club in the back of your mind
You scroll until you find some Stevie or Cash
In case it’s still playing when they find your body after the crash
You played some old time gospel with the Tennessee Guard
Taught some open chords on a broken guitar
You line up to board that C17
With the Lewis-McChord stripe as bright and as green as can be
Now your life has some weight and you've got stories to tell
And the only thing it cost you was a trip into hell
But there are gaps there you don't remember at all
Because your brain knows that some things aren't ever ever safe to recall

Snorkeling, snorkeling, looking at fish
Snorkeling's great If you like to see fish
Cuz snorkeling's basically all about fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Snorkeling starts with you looking for fish
Then pretty soon you are looking at fish
And with them flippers, you're looking like fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Snorkeling, snorkeling, looking at fish
Snorkeling's great If you like to see fish
Cuz snorkeling's basically all about fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Now snorkeling ain't about killin' them fish
It ain't about fryin' or grillin' them fish
You leave, and them innards is still in them fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Snorkeling, snorkeling, looking at fish
Snorkeling's great if you like to see fish
But snorkeling's pointless unless you like fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Snorkeling lets you have air with the fish
You can talk to 'em cuz you're right there with the fish
And talking back's still pretty rare with the fish
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling fish!
Snorkeling, snorkeling, looking at fish
Snorkeling s nothing but staring at fish
Cuz who'd ever bother with listnening to fish?
Snorkeling, snorkfishorkeling fish!
Some day when you're old and you drink like a fish
You'll look back on days when you looked at them fish
For so long it was like you were one of them fish
You were...
Snorkeling, snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling
After four to six minutes of looking at fish
You're officially proficient at looking at fish
Oh look, there's a fish!
And a fish!
And a boot
Hours and hours of looking and looking and
Look it's not hard, you just look at the fish
Yeah, that's the whole point of it. Looking at fish
You're doing it right if you're looking at fish
You are
Snorkeling, snorkefishorkeling
Snorkefilookafanishikelorkelasnorkeling fish!
You're looking at fish!
You're looking at fish!
You're looking at fish!

Flames, we're throwing, The fire's growing,
Arson seeds I have been sowing,
This burning burden comes from knowing
the fire needs me to stoke her.
Molotov cocktails on the house,
Drenched in Petrol, clothing doused,
we sneak in quiet as a mouse
To dance the flame-proof polka”
As our embers turn to ash,
And blazes brought to smoulder.
The coals upon our playful pyre
are growing slowly colder.
The heat fades out, the smoke clears up,
the chaos starts to dwindle.
We raise our torches to the sky,
and the polka is rekindled
We'll burn as one eternally,
this piper's paid infernally,
burn effigies and follow me
into the fiery smoker.
At seven I will build the shrine,
by 8 we'll tie it up with twine
Ignition time is half past nine,
at ten the flame-proof polka

Cavedwellers - Ricochet
04:25
|
|||
Ricochet the valley’s cry
Point your rifles to the sky
When your fate the moment meets
Who will beat a quick retreat?
All the rules have changed
Everyone talks strange today
You hear them say:
I will see your liberty
Raise you by iniquity
Use the old lines
As newly defined
Dislocate the company
For a great society
All in it together
We got the perfect plan you see
To remake humanity
Got a new name
For the old dead game
“Wake up it’s 1984”
Can’t delay it any more
All in it together
And the column digs quickly
While the townsmen turn sickly
It’s just a matter of time
No boats left in the river
Can our freedom deliver
It’s just a matter of time
No big wheel makes the grist turn
No more rain in the cistern
It’s just a matter of time
And no terms and no quarter
By the emperor’s order
It’s just a matter of time
Ricochet new slogans now
Don’t believe them anyhow
The company survived the day
Learned the proper things to say (and to not say)
All the rules have changed
Everyone talks strange today
You hear them say:
I will see your liberty
Raise you by iniquity
Use the old lines
As newly defined
Dislocate the company
For a great society
All in it together
We got the perfect plan you see
To remake humanity
Got a new name
For the old dead game
“Wake up it’s 1984”
Can’t delay it any more
All in it together

Chas Rock - The Show

(Ladies and gentlemen, at this time the newlyweds would like to invite everybody to the dance floor)
Thank you for getting married and playing the dance hits
Clear out cause Daddy's gotta move
Throw his ass around
Toast to the happy couple but
Daddy has a pair of buns that are bouncing left and right
Piggies in a fight
Bang Bang Fingie Guns
Jacky, Khaki.
Pretty, huh?
Up, down,
Clap my cheeks
Applause from beneath my pleats
Get dangerous, I'm dangerous
This banger fucks and changes up
Did you come to see the show?
(oops)
Please don't cry baby
Daddy didn't mean to knee you in the temple
But it's a simple rule,
if you're at knee-height,
we don't play where?
That's right
Where Daddy goes to dance
You know that Daddy handles his liquor like water
Phone at the table
Daddy wants to be alone
Poppa gotta feel his feelings and he feels real sexy
He'll stop it dropping where concrete doth meet ass bone
(come on)
Please don't cry baby
Why'd you do it again?
Are you stupid from the first knee?
Why don't you join your mom
She's the one with her face hidden in her hands
'cause it's Daddy's turn to dance
Post all your silly videos
They'll make me famous
Blow me a kiss
I promise that I'll catch it low
Daddy isn't coming home
(End)

I took my meds, but they haven’t kicked in yet
I made my bed, but I haven’t left it
I gotta hangover the size of a fighter jet
And I’ll drink again to forget it
I am forever a work in progress
Not always getting better but I do my best
Because you never know when something might come ‘round
And put your whole damn life to the test
Slow down
And take it easy
You don’t know what you’re doing
Just settle down now
And find your stable ground
To be blunt I never thought I’d get this far
Because I never really set a bar
But now I’m giving it my all
And I won’t stop until I have no gas in the car
I am forever a work in progress
But what that even means is anyone’s guess
Because eventually you’re gonna trip up
And you might make a mess of it
Slow down
And take it easy
You don’t know what you’re doing
Just settle down now
And find your stable ground
I am forever a work in progress
Not always getting better but I do my best
Because you never know when something might come round
And put you to the test
I am forever a work in progress,
I am forever a work in progress,
I am forever a work in progress,
I am forever a work in progress.

There must be some kind of way out of here
free from the anger and the hate and the fear
not everything in life should be so grim
yeah there’s gotta be room for some hope and some joy and blind optimism
There must be some kind of mistake here
i’m trapped by all the precious things I once held dear
All my useless measures have become my weights
And they’re dragging me down turn my smiles into frowns and I’ve got to escape!
I’m trying to escape the grid
because I don’t like the shape I’m in
There must be some kind of lever to use
I’ve got a broken system that I’m desperate to move
I need to find a way to break the patterns in me
just give me some length and a fulcrum and maybe call archimedes
I’m trying to escape the grid
because I don’t like the shape I’m in
But now I’m standing by the ocean - it makes me feel alright
the sun is setting and a seagull glows in the golden light
I escaped the grid
i found a new shape to be
i escaped the grid

Pt 1: Jimmy and Ruth (161 bpm)
Well lemme tell you bout Ruthie and Jimmy her man
Getting busy by the cliffs in his four door sedan
Now it's a few weeks later and she's dropping the bomb
Jim, you'll be a daddy and I'll be the mom
Well the news lit him up like a mushroom cloud
Baby we'd better exchange some vows
We'll need a place to live, and a cradle too
Is it a boy or a girl? Too soon to have a clue
Well Ruthie and Jimmy were watching TV
And they saw some crazy news on the BBC
Now the Russkys and the Yanks were having a scuffle
And it was turning into a great big kerfluffle
The Yanks dropped bombs and the Russkys a nuke
Everybody's panicked, I'll admit I'm spooked
Don't worry bout a thing baby, let's go to bed
I hope we don't wake up to a...code red
Ruth and Jimmy's new place needs an overhaul
She's crying as she peels the old paint off the walls
Don't worry Ruthie baby it'll be okay
This'll all blow over, we'll see better days!
One! EMP Off over the north sea
Two! A bit closer at finningly
Run jimmy run jimmy run jimmy run jimmy run jimmy run!
Pt 2: Threnody for the Victims of Sheffield (free time)
[Instrumental]
Pt 3: Under A Cold Sky (110 bpm)
The wreckage of our nation
The stench of burnt flesh permeates the air
The cough of radiation sickness
We're here but we're barely there
We dine on roasted carrion
Sub zero temperatures in mid July
The ruin of the agrarian economy
There's more for whom remain, the more that die
We shiver under a cold sky
The ultraviolet cataracts our eyes
We shiver under a cold sky
We suffer and we die
Pt 4: A New Normal (110 bpm to decrescendo)
The stench, the reek, the dead in the street
The ill and infirm, just feed for the worms
Conditions austere, lose all you held dear
You're numb to the fear, what was, now disappears
You'll fuck for a rat, there's no turning back
You steal and you loot, the guards start to shoot
Disintegration spreads, she's raped for some bread
Unravel the threads, don't bury your dead
With one minute left, a stillborn grotesque
Now freeze frame the screen: cut off with her scream

EXT. CITY PARK COURTYARD - MIDDAY
A bustling center-city park, think Washington Square or Rittenhouse Square. A man with a sandwich board yells out his message while pedestrians walk in all directions.
SANDWICH BOARD MAN
The end is nigh!
The world is dying as we sing,
Angels crying to their kingdom in the sky:
The end is nigh!
AMANDA
What a perfect day, the kind that can wash away
Apathy and turn the double play
Of being seen and being liked. Hey, that’s me: so psyched, feelin’ cray-cray.
On this perfect day, nothing standing in my way.
Oh, “the end is nigh”? That tired cliché,
More like the end is “nah”. Get out now just because it’s time to shout:
Don’t hold the applause for me ‘cause I’m on top today!
ELIZABETH
Mandy!
AMANDA
Liz!
ELIZABETH
What are you doing out in the middle of the day?
AMANDA
Grabbing lunch. I wanted to see how things taste as a SENIOR DIRECTOR, BITCH!!!
ELIZABETH
No!
AMANDA
Yes!
ELIZABETH
No!
AMANDA
Yes!
ELIZABETH
No!
AMANDA
(annoyed) Yes.
ELIZABETH
That’s so awesome! And yes, matter of fact I would LOVE for you to buy me lunch and tell me all about it!
DANIEL
Someone told me that the world might end today.
Someone said that this could all just go away.
Sure, crazy crackpot spouting whatnot,
Still this dark thought prompting me to say:
I could handle if the world would end today.
I’m just saying that would kind of be ok.
It ended once when she left with a “just because”, so it isn’t like it never does.
Oh why in the world can’t the world just end today?
INT. SPACESHIP
Lights down on park scene, up on the navigation deck of a spaceship. Random beeping and lights blinking. An alien sits in front of a computer terminal.
GLOBRON
I didn’t sign up for this, literally.
Just another from-birth conscript, sittin’ pretty
On the nav deck, with all the stars that I’m viewin’.
Sergeant’s like, “Globron, mind what you’re doin’!”,
…[Sergeant] Globron, mind what you’re doin’!
Not entirely sure why we’re doin’ all this.
Eleventy-eleven and something light years, I got myself found in.
Eleventy-eleven and something light years, yeah, and countin’.
Peon’s log, stardate whatever the Glorp it is. Thank Gleeble we’re almost there. To sum up: cramped in a metal tube for eleventy-eleven light years. Check it out: that dude over there? Jerk. Girl behind the star chart? Big jerk. In fact, no, you know what all these people are jerks. The food is bland. This guy next to me has been listening to Glohop Rock on his headphones way too loud. I mean, if I can hear it through the headphones, it’s way too loud, right? I guess Gloegs is ok, he shared his copy of "The Golden Sextant", and that’s not nothing. The rest of them though? Jerks.
Eleventy-eleven and something light years of the same damn surroundin’.
Eleventy-eleven and something light years, yeah, and countin’.
EXT & INT SPLIT STAGE
Lights back up on park.

So you wanna hear mainstream, do you?
I take it you prefer mainstream, well, I guess that’s coo'
But you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
Cos why would I play music I don’t like?
Well in a perfect world you’d love me for me
I’d do what’s natural, but I’ll force my voice to sound how you want
I’m dodging rainbows, but where you are it’s stormy
So take your coffee and move on to someone who gives a fuck
Yeah, where I come from intention is everything
The way I mean what I say is how what you said is mean
How dare I put my true self on display for you
I puke the unexpected while you’re asking me for routine
I’ll stick with my acoustic guitar, my washboard and my bass
While you shove your drums into your Poker Face
The standards I adhere to are the practices I keep
A pattern ever changes on the cactuses I sleep
God forbid I keep it interesting and make changes to a song
No instead the same old chorus so the zombies sing along
So you wanna hear mainstream, do you?
I take it you prefer mainstream, Woop de do!
But you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
Cos why would I play music I don’t like?
So be yourself and don’t let anyone change you
Unless you’re an infant who can’t comprehend changing yourself
The check will clear, but they are there to exchange you
Don't point it out cos you might get a talking to
Let's change the world with a catchy-ass chorus
Repeat for emphasis and rinse, repeat and repeat again
Following rules is why our fans all adore us
I’d better leave before I overstay my welcome
I’ll stick with the music I love and a smile unto myself
But I’m probably a copy of someone else
Well, it's mainstream....I know
I get it, you prefer mainstream, uh oh
You see, you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
To sing how you like, to act how you like
To play how you like, to be who you like
'Cos why would I play music I don’t like?
Dude, why would I play music I don’t like?

you tiptoed, tiptoed
quietly across the room
thinking you'd go unnoticed
but I was watching you
you whispered, whispered
something that I thought you knew
it's too god damn early for us to get used to
you crept in, crept in
slipped yourself between the sheets
made yourself comfortable
at the expense of me
and I can't take it much more
so go back to bed
and don't get up until we've said

Third Cat - Some Truths
03:10
|

limping through my life
robotic words of love
light fire 'till the moon dies
but it still floats above
single dose of hope
neurotic blasts of fear
brain leaks fog in my eyes
and the secret's not so clear
finding out some truths are too much to agree to
signals sing between
chaotic bursts of noise
sounds like you treat our lives
like a child treats their toys
finding out some truths are too much to agree to
when alice looks at me i can see i'm not what she hoped I'd be
when alice looks at me i can see i'm not what she hoped I'd be
when alice looks at me i can see i'm not what she hoped I'd be
she says she's finding out some truths are too much to agree to
she says she's finding out some truths are too much to agree to
she says she's finding out some truths are too much to agree to

I did it all, I called it wrong
This is on me yet again
An awkward mend
I failed again
It is so frustrating
They say it’s a sign of a brainless idiot child
To try the same things without expecting better
Fates are aligned to make failure refined
Only dropping the balls when my hands are striking home
I did it all, I called it wrong
This is on me yet again
I pushed for more
And lost it all
It is so frustrating
Carelessly wasting time, repeating my life.
I had a nice time
Clinging to people I like
I left them alive, I left them alive
Reaching beyond my dreams,
Delivering me is not what it seems
Imagine a blood red sky
We boiled it not fried, we left it to die
I did it all, I called it wrong
This is on me yet again
An awkward mend
I failed again
It is so frustrating
It is so frustrating

Crawl up from the radio
Activity
Speaking in codes
I never learned to know
There’s something soothing
Preserving a mystery
Neat little rows
Wolves in savior’s clothes
My heart is racing
At 2am again
With the headlights cracked
My heart is racing
Across the wasteland
Place your bets raise your colors
A loss of taste when
You share the spoils with some others
Everyone is buying up and tuning in
Returning to the well
Like the questions get answers
You make it rain
But fewer cures, more cancers
My heart’s out pacing
Outrunnng the speed of reason
With the headlights out
My heart is racing
Across the wasteland
Place your bets raise your colors
A loss of taste when
You share the spoils with some others
Everyone is buying up and tuning in
Are we gonna watch it again
(My heart is racing)
I think it’s gonna cave in
(My heart is racing)
Have you got what you want
Have you got far more than you could ever use
(My heart is racing, across the wasteland)
Can you stand to win
If you can’t stand above
All the people who would lose
(my heart is racing)
My heart is racing
Across the wasteland
My heart is racing
Across the wasteland
My heart is
racing
Crawl up from the radio
Activity
Speaking in codes
I never learned to know

This is it, this is it
All things fairly exchanged
I don't have time to fan this flame
Not this fast, not like this
There is nothing I would blame
Nothing is worse, just not the same
The silver lining dropped into my lap
It's overwhelming
I'll manage fine, I'm learning that
I was underselling... myself
I'm always underselling myself
A heavy heart, a heavy time
I've shirked my burden
Acknowledged hurting
And now I'm turning
When perfection's not an option
I'll still try and deliver what I can
I'm not doing this for you
My heart's not happy with every facet of everything
But my heart's happy now, and that's new
The silver lining dropped into my lap
It's overwhelming
I'll manage fine, I'm learning that
I was underselling... myself
I'm always underselling myself

Everything's loud, everything's fun
Everything’s fast, but nothing gets done
Everything's grand, everything's cool
Everyone’s wildin like a damn fool
All of it's mad, all of it's weird
No time to waste and no place for fear
Everybody's happy, everything’s great
Life's a fuckin’ party, but everyone's late
Took a phone call in the parking lot
Round back behind the bar
The second act is lighting up
While tuning their guitar
The function's getting heated
But my chill's just getting thick
This night’s just getting started
But I think she’s getting sick…
Everything slowed down
Everything has changed
Everything's real now
Someone's pulling on the reins
Everybody's hurting
Or everybody's numb
Is anybody out there,
Or is everybody done?
I took a phone call in the parking lot
Outside of the ER
She's gonna get admitted
So I gotta move my car
Did things get too hard?
Did things go too far?
Did everyone go crazy?
Was hoping that just maybe
We still had a bit of time
To rewind
And retry

Dodge assassination
Mob retaliation
Home world is too hostile
Make way for the exile
Climb aboard the starship
Hope I get a round trip
Hitching on a freighter
Peers denounce me traitor
And I'm staying up all night
I got this passion in my brain
Just please let me explain
And I'm staying up all night
I got this passion in my brain
Just please let me explain
Welcoming committee
Shows their gilded city
All expenses paid for
Research and my labor
Colleagues are enlightening
But the leash is tightening
Chaining me to my pen
They just want a weapon
And I'm staying up all night
I've got your secret in my brain
Now please let me explain!
And I'm staying up all night
I've got a swelling itching brain
Now please let me explain!
Come eat drink sleep
Rest and dine
Come sit heel beg
You are mine
Now my work is unsealed
Even out the play field
Air my dissertation
On the public station
Listen to me proclaim
I won't play your war game
Capital breeds quiet
I'll incite a riot
Dodge assassination
Government damnation
Tyranny's ambition
Drives me to sedition
Write my own damn pink slip
Catch the moonlit starship
Home world who is hostile
Please reclaim your exile

George and Jerry boy, working on cars
One's got the tools and one's got the parts
Transmission's not ready but the engine starts
Jerry boy’s shifting the gears with his hands.
Out under stars
Rapid City’s dark
George hits the country roads
Taking it easy
The gravel spits
Time to see how fast she’ll go, oh!
20, 30, 45, Jerry boy grinds the gears
50, 60, 89, police lights in their rear
Oh no, oh!
Oh, no, oh!
George and Jerry boy have to think fast!
Is the road runner ready for this kind of test?
George hits the gas and Jerry boy smiles
Everything is blurry for the next couple of miles
Jerry boy’s knockles just above the ground
The fuzz is gettin closer so George slams it down
80, 90, 108, everything is smoking but they get in the way
Slam in the driveway on skyline drive
George kills the engine and turns off the lights
George and Jerry boy, safe for now
They knock on the door of their classmate's house
Jerry boy calls his dad, the titular man and he says
Son, bring it to the shop
We’ll paint It red
George’s uncle came through
As unlcles often do
Cause it’s easier to love when it’s blood removed
Red road runner on the way to school
The fourth set of paint it’s had to live through
Lessons learned
Are lessons on the move
Trailer park stories
Trailer park stories
Trailer park stories take time to become the truth

I think back some years ago
When you were a tiny baby
Newborn eyes staring up at me
How incredibly blessed a man could be
Holding you in my arms
Your precious little face smiling back at me
It’s a little bit of Heaven
It’s everything I hoped it would be
I push you on the swing
Your long golden hair waves back at me
You laugh out loud
The sensation makes us happy
Holding you in my arms
Your precious little face smiling back at me
It’s a little bit of Heaven
It’s everything I hoped it would be
Walking along life’s path together
You reach up for my hand to hold
As we walk together
Nothing else matters to me
Holding you in my arms
Your precious little face smiling back at me
It’s a little bit of Heaven
It’s everything I hoped it would be
(slow)
Time goes by so fast
And now you’re all grown
Making a happy life of your own
And it’s a little bit of Heaven

Something in my eye, something in my eye
The world as one did cry out in pain and rising terror
The worms so very small at once attacked us all
Nothing to do but fall down in our unplanned obsequence
As they burrowed inside us
Nothing remained to hide us from ourselves
See them swim through the air, they’re descending to glare at me
These floating eyes of God
I remember the days when we’d say you were crazy
Inventing things so very odd
Just a fact of life now
We’ve accepted it somehow
The gaze from which we’re never free
Every other eye from it’s socket did fly
While we screamed out goodbye in anguish and confusion
Now eyes of every scale from butterfly to whale
Watch from the air to curtail rebellious behavior
In our minds images gather
We see things that we’d rather that we had not seen
Shared a coffee last night with my love blocked from sight
By the mask that I wear when I sleep
My love still has both eyes, have the floaters got wise
To the secret we’re trying to keep
Just a matter of time
‘Til they uncover our crime
And that will mean the end of me
When a sight is seen that displeases our masters
All the people gather 'round
All are compelled to stare at the offending party
With our looks the villain we’ll hound
As our vacant eye cavities align on what they cannot see
A beam of fire erupts out of each staring cyclops head
Somewhere an eye falls to the ground, unseen, but does it make a sound?
Unseeing, as are all the eyes belonging to the dead
See them swim through the air, they’re descending to glare at me
These floating eyes of God

Somebody needs to step up
We need a man for our time
Someone to take, the name, the number
Someone to take a stand….against crime
It’s hard to believe after so many years
It’s hard to conceive all the men without peer
But now we are here
Who will answer the call
The latest James Bond has to be---
The greatest James Bond of them all!
It’s hard to believe
It’s hard to conceive (8 times)
The latest James Bond will be the greatest of them all!
Wallace Shawn!!!!
Wallace Shawn!!!!
Wallace Shawn?
INCONCEIVEABLE!

I wanna surprise you
I just can't wait for the weekend
Ooh I need so bad
To kiss your lips again
So I thought it would be cool
Doing romantic things like this
Ooh driving sixty miles
For just a kiss
It’s that long wait, delayed, gratification
Driving me mad
(and though it's far I get in my car
I just need to get to wherever you are)
55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100
That’s as fast as this piece of crap will go
I wanna get there quickly
but I wanna kiss you slowly
Kiss you slowly
Kiss you slowly
Kiss you
Kiss you slowly
I wanna surprise you
I need you to just pick up your phone
Ooh I figured I should
Make sure you’re at home
So, I am starting to doubt you
I wonder if you really care
Why? I need to know that
You are really there
It's that slow-clock, tick-tock, anticipation
Driving me mad
(and though it is far I get in my car
I just need to get to wherever you are)
55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100
That’s as fast as this piece of crap will go
I wanna get there quickly
but I wanna kiss you slowly
Kiss you slowly
Kiss you slowly
Kiss you
Kiss you slowly
[incoming call]
[incoherent talk with friend]
I just got a call, you
Are home with a FedEx truck outside
You told me that was over
That’s a lie
You are back with that jerk who
Screwed you after we got engaged
Ooh I cannot see straight
I’m so filled with rage
I won’t let that threat of incarceration
Hold me back
55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100
That’s as fast as this piece of crap will go
I wanna get there quickly
but I wanna kill you slowly
Kill you slow
Kill you slowly
Kill you

Distant the years that slip behind us now
Glimpses of memories that no one can recall
No one but ourselves
My, how it seemed to be so promising back then
Time was a river growing wilder at the bends
No measure til it ends
To where? No one could tell
If I had to do it all again,
I think I would
I know I would
Even knowing all the pain it sent
I think I would
I’m sure I would
Pieces of pictures flashes as I pack
Seeing the room so empty but we had
Everything we loved
I cannot tell you what will come to be
You know the reason well enough to see
You believe like me
But is it still enough?
If I had to do it all again,
I think I would
I know I would
Even knowing all the pain it sent,
I think I would
I’m sure I would
Every single word you ever said
Every single note I ever bled
If I had I do it all again,
Just know I would
I would

Tryin’ to dance, but I cannot see
Anything, this music’s blinding me
Ooh..
I just want to see my friends
But I should have have just stayed in tonight
God it’s so fucking loud
God it’s so fucking loud
God it’s so fucking loud
Somebody turn this shit down
Feel the music,
Feel the music in your heart
You can feel the music
Feel it rip your ribs apart
Don’t know why they drag me out
Can’t hear them speak, can’t even hear them shout
Ooh..
And I can’t hear what they’re saying
Over the music playing
God it’s so fucking loud
God it’s so fucking loud
God it’s so fucking loud
Somebody turn this shit down
Feel the music,
Feel the music in your heart
You can feel the music
Feel it rip your ribs apart
