Ready or Not
02:50

There’s something in the air, the humming of the street
As you’re pulling you’re hands away from the cold up into your sleeves
Ten times a minute
We were young, so young, but life goes on
I can hear the future calling Ready or Not
Reach up where tails of the city lights twirl around
Where the moon shines down persistent, insistent, we howl
Ten times a minute
We were young, so young, but life goes on
It only takes a minute
To stand your ground, to turn it around
I can hear the future calling Ready or Not
Ten times a minute
We were young, so young, but life goes on
It only takes a minute
To stand your ground, to turn it around
How come all the moments that make us are simple things?
Putting on the songs that remind us of when we were kings
I can hear the future calling Ready or Not

House on Fire

I believe its gonna be a good year
Sipping on that bubbly, and singing Auld Lang Syne
I Promised I’d be on my best behavior
But sometimes clothes are in the lawn and there’s fireworks inside
After all the flames are out you’re next to me, next to me..
No we’ll never need a lighter
You and I get on like a house on fire, living on gasoline
Baby, baby, ride with me
No I never knew another
To burn me like I like it, like a house on fire
Pyro in a pink tee roaring in the twenties
Baby, baby, ride with me
Come inside and we can find a new game
Kitchen drawer down on the left, on the left
Underneath the batteries, rubber bands, orphan keys
A half used match book that I got from some crummy old hotel
(I think I know where this is going)
No one knows we’re going
(Please don’t spoil the ending for me)
No one knows I’ve been through
Stop, drop, where you rolling?
If you go crazy, I’ll go too
That’s where I’m going
You make the old seem new again, new again
No we’ll never need a lighter
You and I get on like a house on fire, living on gasoline
Baby, baby, ride with me
No I never knew another
To burn me like I like it, like a house on fire
Pyro in a pink tee roaring in the twenties
Baby, baby, ride with me

Freak Show
02:56
|

Doors are open, they never close
One admission and one more soul
What’re you running away from?
Wide-eyed eager, we try our luck
With pretty people and pickled punks
This place is like a freak show, need no ticket
Freak show, now I call it home
Step out side of that straight line
Bite my tongue and bide my time
We belong
Step out side of that straight line
Give ‘em what you got in the meantime
For the freak show
Conversations behind closed doors
They buy the weather and sell us more
Someone told me there’s a sucker born each minute
Freak show, now I’m in it, home
Step out side of that straight line
Bite my tongue and bide my time
We belong
Step out side of that straight line
Give ‘em what you got in the meantime
When the wows from the mouths of the masses come
Gather your guts the show must go on
Keep your grind up through slings and arrows
Now you’re family, now you’re home
Step out side of that straight line
Bite my tongue and bide my time
We belong
Step out side of that straight line
Give ‘em what you got in the meantime
Cause the only monsters here are dancing
Right behind their eyes
For the freak show

Foulbrood

Taking it in, you’re seeing it all
Must be the same, outside the frame of your window
You get the gist, and confidence too
You got a pane, and you got a view from your window
It may be a height that’s different than mine
A brand or a bay of extravagant size (they’re all windows)
But sure as the milk and honey is sweet
The tide that is swelling outside of your street will come
Bang bang that’s the sound of an ocean
Knocking on your double-locked doors
Bang bang what’s with all the commotion?
Floating down the gold corridors
Queen bee, crack it open, feel the breeze
It’s a long way down
Rattle the walls, shaking the earth
When you were coming up you had it much worse
Yeah, you know me
You’ve seen the face of a worker or two
From office to car to the room with a view
Yeah, you know me
Taking a pen and drawing a line
Over my toe and backwards in time
Well you’re always right
Bang bang that’s the sound of an ocean
Knocking on your double-locked doors
Bang bang what’s with all the commotion?
Floating down the gold corridors
Queen bee, point your finger right at me
It’s a long way down
Bang bang that’s the sound of an ocean
Knocking on your double-locked doors
Bang bang what’s with all the commotion?
Who you think we’re doing this for?
Queen bee, crack it open, feel the breeze
It’s a long way down

See You When I See You
03:36

Here’s another fine mess that we’re found in
Didn’t know, didn’t mean what I said when
I was on a darkened road
Only saw where my headlights shown
Here’s another hotel that we haunted
Tethered to, circle you, like an orbit
I was in a cotton sheet
Poking holes big enough to see
That colors come in other palettes
Greener grass and golden silence
Lies of white, no heart of darkness
I can finally see I got this
Whole world of open doors
I’ll see you when I see ya
Here’s another fine mess that I’m found in
Tied up to the mast in a strong wind
But I don’t need to be aboard
Views are fine, words are kind on shore
Where colors shine but need reminding
Rivers run when they ain’t winding
Shy aurora borealis
Coming out to swim inside this
Whole world of open doors
Where colors come in other palettes
Greener grass and golden silence
Lies of white, no heart of darkness
I can finally see I got this
Whole world of open doors
I’ll see you when I see ya
Run, run, wild and free
To that little place down by the sea
Where the past and futures meet
And evening lingers til I fall asleep
