Bamboozle 2012

Saturday - May 19th 2012. Come see us before we go into hiding to write our full length.

A year ago we released Basement Tapes vol.1… Now we are gearing up to write our full length.

Thanks everyone for supporting us.

Basement Tapes vol. 2 Deliver Me

If there’s a wrong way,
then I’ve been there,
with every mistake,
comes some crosshairs,

Did you lose me?
‘Cause I lost myself here,
Let me help you out,
I’ll teach you not to care.

She’s studying delivery,
cuts the cord on new life.
I end it so swiftly,
with the very same knife.

How did I get this way?
I don’t know,
but I’ve been thinking,
and maybe that’s my problem.

I took the right way,
and did it feel strange.
Shitty is pretty,
so I had to walk away.

You want perfection?
The crown is yours to take,
I revel proudly,
in being one big mistake.

She’s studying delivery,
cuts the cord on new life.
Now I’m giving you your first scar
with the very same knife.

Melodrama,
mellow out,
it’s alright,
it ain’t that bad.

Basement Tapes vol. 2 One Dead Fingernail

Will they throw stones,
girl’s panties, or pennies?
I do not know,
and I don’t care.

You haven’t heard from me,
‘cause I’ve been very busy,
with voodoo dolls, one by one,
tear out the hairs.

I can still kick the shit out of myself better than you can.

So what?
I changed the words,
to the one I wrote about forgiveness,
what do you care?

A little bit of truth,
and you go throwin’ your arms up,
in a fit, with a fist,
tearin’ out your hair.

Basement Tapes vol. 2 1996

We’re buying happiness,
replacing everything in case it breaks,
‘Cause if it ain’t new, it’s in bad taste.

The Jones called.
They wanna battle for first place,
They’re buying happiness and doin’ great.

Look at all my pretty things,
I need a little more to be happy.

So, you wanna save the world?
You better recognize your place,
I’ll guzzle gas, and spit it in your face.

Somebody fill ‘em in,
Don’t they realize it’s a race?
I’m buying happiness and doin’ great.

Could be better, but I’m doin’ great.

Look at all my pretty things.
I’m gonna be happy.

Basement Tapes vol. 2 _____ Are Mine

Fashioned you from nothing with a to do list,
the promised land awaits you if you’re real good,
Take a step back now and check the background,
We’re not first, not second, nor third.

Author unknown.
It’s unadjusted,
We still wanna believe in something.
We still wanna believe in something good.

We’re alright, okay.
Somehow we’re alright, okay.
Somehow…

We’re all good people, ain’t it right?
Turn the cheek, and turn out the light.
Turn the other cheek and turn out the light.

Huggin’ the porcelain bus the morning after.
We celebrated something, we just don’t know what.
Somebody skipped the part with the directions.
One nation under God, in over our heads.

We’re all good people, ain’t it right?
Turn the cheek, and turn out the light.
Turn the other cheek and turn out the light.
