Through My Window
02:50

I saw a girl, I'd met before
I saw her through my window
Her hair was gold, she walked alone
I saw her through my window
She smiled at me, undoubtedly
I had to let her know
too far to reach, too scared to speak
instead I let her go
I saw a girl, I once longed for
I saw her through my window
and I could see, she was happy
no longer was she alone
alone x4

Seventeen

When I was seventeen life was so fun
I never thought I'd live to be twenty one
when I was eighteen I had a sharp tongue
I never thought I'd reap the seeds that I'd sewn
When I was nineteen I started doing drugs
I hung around with some wannabe thugs
I never thought that I would make it this far
but now I'm older, you know I wanna
go back, oh you know I wanna x4
Now I see that those days are long gone
The friends I once had have all but moved on
I never dreamed that I would make it this long
But now I'm older, you know I wanna
go back, oh you know I wanna x4
(Repeat chorus)

Electro

I'm alive don't put that death on me
electronica is making me unfree
it's cold and it's slow and it rots away my brain
I think, I think I might just go insane
electro, electro, electro electro
I should've lived in the 1950's
2012 I'm drowning, drowning
I'm gonna shake the walls with my scream
You can have the club and the fake ecstasy
said, you can have the club and the fake ecstasy
you say you're ready to dance
don't even know how to dance
You're only using your hands
Not even breathing with yer dead fish feel in my hands
(repeat chorus)
electro, electro, electro, electro
(Written by Dave Sea/Dave and the Strange)

Above The Clouds
02:44
|
|||
Come with me, I'll show you how
I'll take you out on the town
Drink whiskey 'till we run out
Get so high you won't come down
down
down
Come with me, and you will see
How it feels to be free
Your feet won't touch the ground
and you'll be above the clouds
clouds, down
(lead)
clouds, ground

Ghost World

I've been nodding out so long that I don't know
Are we bound to stay, or are we free to go?
Nauseated, and I've never felt so low
I planned to leave but never even showed
I'm out of reach, but never out of touch
I won't agree, but can do if I must
I don't see what everyone else does
Hope the reason finds us
I'm an atheist, and proud to let it show
If God exists I pray he doesn't know
My favorite is everything I loathe
I can't forget it, so I let it go
let it go...
(Repeat chorus)

Blue Moon
02:18
|

To be young in June
To be free from all
And we drank Blue Moon
'Till the break of dawn
of dawn
sleep all afternoon
And await nightfall
Then we continue
Where we left off
Left off

Emily

Emily, she takes you by your hand
Says she wants you to be her man
Then she is gone, before you know
Emily she sends you mixed signals
You wanna know just how she feels
But she is gone, before you know
Gone before you know x2
Emily, you've got her in your hands
But she slips through just like quicksand
and she is gone, before you know
Emily, the guys all adore her
She tells you that you're the one for her
then she is gone, before you know
Gone before you know x2
(Lead)
Gone before you know x2
Emily, you've got her by your side
Don't think you're not like the other guys
Cause she'll be gone, before you know
Emily, you'll swear she's your lover
'till she leaves you for another
and she is gone, before you know
Gone before you know x2
Before you know x4

See the way I've tried to
Lead the way, I'll guide you
I love the way it lasts for hours
I love the way you're mine to, mine to lose
Never did want to find out why
You build me up to bleed me dry
It's never your fault babe, I'm always wrong
Whenever you're far away, you're right at home
And I cannot sleep away the nights alone
I'll be just fine
I'll be just fine
See the way that I do
You never even tried to
I love the way it lasts for hours
I love the way you're mine to, mine to lose
Never did want to find out why
You build me up to bleed me dry
It's never your fault babe, I'm always wrong
Whenever you're far away, you're right at home
And I cannot sleep away the nights alone
I'll be just fine
I'll be just fine
(lead)
Mine to, mine to lose
Never did want to find out why
You build me up to bleed me dry
It's never your fault babe, I'm always wrong
Whenever you're far away, you're right at home
And I cannot sleep away the nights alone
I'll be just fine
I'll be just fine

Whenever I need to tell you, the words are hard to find
I've spent weeks in this room, searching for all the lines
I don't mind if I lose, it happens all the time
All the time
(I'm) over my head x4
whenever I need to tell you, the words are hard to find
Scratch and bleed, what else to do when you're alone and high
Am I mean, am I rude, or are you more than kind?
(I'm) over my head x4
Whenever I need to tell you, the words are hard to find...

Orchidales Belmont, North Carolina
"...three dudes from Belmont who finished high school a few years back and, well, didn't leave. Their surfy, trash-fi translation of Brian Jonestown Massacre well reflects the kind of nihilistic, hard-drinking slumming that takes place among the young and disillusioned - as do their rowdy, equipment failure-plagued live shows." - Corbie Hill, Creative Loafing ... more
