dressed to the 9's in red and black suits
4 kings to give the orders
all absent minded fathers
4 queens to run for cover
forever missing mothers
2 jokers, they're the brothers
one in monochrome, the other full colour…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
i set a wire in the woods
on a cold dark night when no one should be out
i was alone for a time
when the rabbits start to run the rings around my eyes
watching the shadows come to life
under cold, stark gaze of electric light
already hungry…
she's got a confident way of talking
knows where she's going when she walks
her fashion sense is never shocking
but it says "she's a boss"
it says "she's on top"
there is no question she can't answer
whether it's secular or trife
she…

back where i was born
you learn pretty early on to leave well enough alone
just settle in and watch the world around you spin
there's nowhere else to go when you live in a snow globe
i knew this kid who couldn't wait to pack it in
and break…
don't ask me out to a movie
cause i'm not gonna go
don't tell me you're having a party
cause i already know
it's an 80's theme
i saw it in my stream
but i didn't accept or decline
i just said maybe
and maybe means no
maybe always means…
Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!

Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…

Lock the door, draw the shades
In your web I have been caught
Not enough to fill you up

A shell of the man that I was…

Take back these words
the pretty ones are clear
this jesus souvenir
the game is on
the quiet ones are afraid
vocalizing their pain
regretting nothing
this part should be louder
the gasoline is overflowing…

featuring Meg Radley on vocals
wait a day
might as well stay, awhile
here with me
where the breeze, blows
just say now
time grows shorter
then we dream
awake a scream, out loud
leaving leaves a hole
kicks around…

I am, wasting away
the older I get
approaching the end of the line
I never meant to be

but circumstance and chance have me
behind, is the glass half full
does it matter, I…
from the album "ZERO"

seems like I felt this way before
but my memory is not to be trusted
so many things flashing through my brain
was it real or a dream or something else

it's time to paint it on again
adjust my smile smooth down my dress
make sure the shoes both match, and leave

you’re so much like me that I’m not sure
where I begin and you end
sometimes I even see through your eyes
your shi brown eyes
still innocent
you’re so refined, that I can’t
fake any more lies
you’re clutching…

full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life
needs a drink or nine
shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime
it’s all…

take a stand against the man
when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor
it takes a village to decide
how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right
that don…
RPM 2014
clenching teeth
through an iron jaw
your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow
on your porcelain cheeks
there is nothing not a trace
happy, are you?
losing sleep
the weight is heavy
you can barely keep afloat
clenching…

This has definitely got my feet tapping and head bopping along. Great song!
Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!
Awesome tones and drum mix on this one. Crunchy.
funky! love it
Indeed!
Heart Full of LOVE.
This is great... really odd structure, simple but still haven't heard anything quite like it. Kinda Flaming Lips-y a bit, good stufff
Poor, poor bear. At least didn't die in vain, because this track rocks.
This is an incredible RPM album - Well done!
Thx
Mathias?! That's awesome!
there it is, thats it right there.

Cool feel on this one, like Dino Jr. Meets Neil young ragged glory era. Great guitar sound
Love the cool time time shifts on this one. A little bit of a qotsa groove
I'm really digging this album! Love the chill-synth vibe - reminds me of late era smashing pumpkins meets early cure
