Back of the bar
Talking to myself
Attitude
Nothing to lose, but everything
Toss you a glance
Makeup and amphetamines
Side-door impact
Never going back on anything
Washing away all the words that you say
Even if I can't explain
Walking away while I still have a face to save
Side of the road
Giving into you
Rumbling around
Gonna paint the land black and red and brown
Roll of the dice
Shine on
Even at my own impasse
Breaking like a fool and everybody knows its true
Washing away all the words that you say
Even if I can't explain
Walking away while I still have a face
To save myself the thrill the pain
Washing away all the words that you say
Even if I can't explain them
Walking away while I still have a means to
Come out, come out, come out of the hole
Surrender to the night, let it flow
Come out, come out, come out of the whole
Surrender to the night!
Floor of the bar
Dancing around your head
The moon illuminates
That empty look in my eyes
Track Name: Exit Spaces
I'd like to grow some flowers
On my windowsill
I'd like to smell the afternoon with you
I've got a sweet tooth
You could say
Anyway
I take it in
Bite after bite
I'll invite you
Exit spaces
Pushing down the avenue
Frozen face
Stare across the boulevard at me
I'd like to know
The reason that it is this way
I'd shake it off
Like yesterday's bad news from you
chorus
Exit spaces, frozen faces
Anyway to rearrange the ins and outs
and complications
Track Name: Mamacita
That mamacita in the bar
flamingo hair
She don't want to talk to you about
Her leather jacket or her Corona
She just wants you gone
There's dirt on the floor
Smoke in the air
She's not gonna be your baby
She's not gonna be that kind of girl
Tonight
Hey mamacita
For now
Onto the next one
Its looking so industrial outside
To the club
Go watch them play
You can dance the night
Chorus
Can you smell the animals
As they scatter in the light
Five AM
Watching them
Twisted faces in the light
Track Name: Narragansett
The lantern has fallen
No need to make a single sound
The reflection of a silver moon
Fills the on ramp like headlights
I once asked those questions
Looked into her eyes
It runs deeper than every grain of sand
From The Breachway to The Salt Pond
Travel further from my home
Light a candle in her name
This machine is growing older
Narragansett will you ever be the same?
Two hands to right the wheel
Each moment at stake
Every morning the sun will clear a path
Where the treeline turns to coastline
Chorus
Two hands to right the spinning wheel
Tide turns each morning slips away
Chorus
Track Name: Pink Pills
These are the times that I open my mind
See the beauty of the world inside and outside
Is all around
Alone in a room
A burnt-out fool
Smoke and mirror show is all it ever was
Ever will be
On fire for you it cuts me through
To the other side
This is the face I've been wearing for days
Since I took myself out of the innocence
I used to know
I'm hoping its true that the worst you'll do
Is blow my mind into pure oblivion
Here it goes again
On fire for you it cuts me through
To the other side
The amber glow, multiplies
Satisfaction my love, multiplies
Inspiration drawn, multiplies
Multiplies
Pink pills in the vampire city
Taking my word like its something lost
On the AM radio
Proud and hollow
A long time ago
Starting to ache from a world away
A hundred miles out
I saw everything there was to see
On fire for you it cuts me though
To the other side
