LYRICS

"HIDEAWAY"

First things first and last thing never
They must think they're all so clever
telling me that I'm the one to blame
Cut off all the ties to my old life
sever the veins pumping the blood to the heart of
whatever it was keeping me out of the game

Hideaway, hideaway
time to step outside and see the light of dayHideaway, put my pride away
or the life I'll never have
is the price to pay

Next things next
things will get better
after i decide to set
the fire burning bright inside of me

I was bitter, filled with doubt
just watching life go one without me
a prisoner in my mind
Now i'm free

Draw the shades
so i can lose track of
wasted days
as I walk in circle
Hideaway
hiding away from the world

"PLASTIC GUNS"

Hand shaker, eye lash batter
slowly climbing up the ladder
all your friends are all backstabbers
in the end it doesn't matter
They're all checking if you're holding
quite down now cameras rolling
pantomime and smile at
the strangers as their walking past

HERE WE COME
FIGHTING WITH PLASTIC GUNS
WE ARE DISASTROUS
BETTER THAN EVERYONE
FALLING FASTER NOW
INTO THE PLASTIC CROWD
NOBODY ASKS US HOW
WE'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE

Hand shaker, baby kisser
who do you think you are?
Mr. big stuff poppin', big name droppin'
once you start, there ain't no stoppin'
Talking loud but sayin' nothing
you're behavior is disgusting
complain that you've got it rough
SHUT YOU'RE MOUTH, WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH

You're a hand shaker, eye lash batter
slowly climbing up the ladderall your friends are all backstabbers
in the end it doesn't matter
Falling faster we're disasters
Come out blasting, guns of plastic
No one ever stops to ask us
we're better than....

"TIGER UPPERCUT"

I can't stand the sight of you
Thought I said goodbye to you
I left all your letters unread
The things between us are better left unsaid
Over and over it's over I'm over it
I don't believe what you say
Over and over it's over I'm over it
Why don't you just go away
I thought by now at least maybe you would have come to terms
You are delusional as usual I won't return
your calls

So don't hold your breath 'cause i won't
let you get to me 'cause , i know..
You've got a made up name and i've erased it from my mind
You will not waste another second of my precious time

go away

"TURNTABLE MAYOR" (In memory of Josh Link)

My life's forever changed because you were in it
I don't wanna hear another record unless you spin it
That game of lifting me up you'd always win it
...I don't wanna hear another record unless you spin it

You are the link between our worlds
You brought together boys and girls
In celebration every night
And keep them dancing till daylight
We'd talk endlessly about nothing day out day in
Inside jokes and existential conversations
That bagel shop parking lot was our haven\
I was the one you were always savin'

On skateboards we ride, off into the sunrise.
While New York City cries out to you for a rewind
Turntable Mayor of the Lower East Side
Says his last goodbyes and crossfades into sand and sky.

"DO THE SNAKE"

Sporting and inviting smile, like it's going out of style
invite the crocodiles to come and stay here for a while
with a little slither here, a slither there and I come hither
as you're giving me that sly come hither stare
Let's do the snake everywhere

Even the score but you're always wanting more
we're progressing now into cannibals from average carnivores
The laws will break and bend, with no need to repent can't hold the fox responsible when he's left out with the hens
Let's do the snake once again

Adam and Eve on the dance floor of thieves
even in Eden we're forced to concede
eating the apple brought them to their knees
they did the snake, why don't we

Watch as the jackals grin,  it seems that they want in
If you want to swim with the sharks then grab onto a fin
get ready to begin the original sin
it's wrong vs. right tonight alright and wrong is gonna win
Let's do the snake once again

"ALL DAY CHARADE"

You are the boy with his toys on the floor
you will whine you will cry so obsesses with the score
now clean up this mess you are distressed and so bored
cheat now just don't get caught see how quickly you cheat more

Take off your mask for me, there's nothing underneath
Faces change every day, a parade always
all day charade, your charade

Please keep it a secret you can't tell the truth
was it fun playing dumb, something old something new
make up all the fake facts the math that you do
one white lie becomes two, one for me three for you

Take off mask for me

Mama said "go to bed, you have been so bad so very very very bad"
but daddy sees his legacy in the many faces that his pride and joy conceives
