and if I see it, I won't believe it
i'm just deceiving my eyes
and everyone knows, its not well known though
its just a secret, a lie
and theres no fun in salvation
theres no wrong or right
don't carry on, just move along
you'll get yours in time
and if I speak it, it has no meaning
I have no reason to lie
i've said it all though, I've let it all go
I had no reason to try
and theres no fun in salvation
theres no wrong or right
don't carry on, just move along
you'll get yours in time

Death
03:17
|

I could save my breath, but I'll waste a sigh
took another step, and I fell behind
been afraid of death, since the day I died
since the day I died
and if its a sin, then its worth a try
air is gettin' thin, and I'm gettin' high
and I may have wept, but I never cried
but I never cried
but I never...
cried (never cried) x4
such a waste of breath, and a waste of time
took another step, and I crossed the line
whats the point of this, its just another rhyme
I could take a risk, but I'll take a dive
I could duck and run, but I'll stay and hide
been afraid of death, since the day I died
since the day I died
since the day I...
Died (day I died) x6

Well you seized my heart
was it even that hard?
you never come around cause
you're as high as the stars
well you fucked around, hard
you've left me now, all
my secrets are yours
just decide what you want
you could try, but you won't
you never come around cause
you're as high as the stars
and you fucked around, hard
you've left me now, all
my secrets are yours

Summertime Love
03:30
|

the pretty girls, they bat their eyes
they turn their heads, and act surprised
and all the cocky boys, they try their luck
in hopes that one might give it up
cause the summertime love is in the air
and everyone is well aware
you know its always on their minds
its not like any other kind, of love
(of love)
the pretty girls with their tan skin,
they're turning heads when they walk in
and all the cocky guys, they try and try
they're wanting more than meets the eye
cause the summertime love is in the air
and everyone is well aware
you know its always on their minds
its not like any other kind, of love

well just because you run your mouth, it doesn't mean you're smart
your opinions are just echoes of someones elses thoughts
it don't take long to figure out, you are what you aren't
not that I give a flying fuck, I just care alot
when its not easy its hard
when im not dreaming, im lost
the only demon is God
I thought I had you figured out, maybe I was wrong
but there is no one else to blame, its everyone's fault
and i had so much more to say, seems i forgot
not that it matters anyway, its just a thought
well its not easy, its hard
when I'm not dreaming I'm lost
the only demon is god
(lead)
when its not easy, its hard
when I'm not dreaming I'm lost
the only demon is god
I don't believe in tomorrow

when you turn your back to me
when I see you on the street
when you come around i never
know just what to say or tell ya
but it doesn't bother me
it doesn't mean a thing
when the truth gets in the way
theres nothing left to say
every time I hear you speak
i can't help but clinch my teeth
opinions change just like the weather
you never hesitate to share yours
and it doesn't bother me
it doesn't mean a thing
when the truth gets in the way
theres nothing left to say

Everyones Girl

|

she'll do anything to impress
someone that she just met
from her head down to her dress
its whatever suits them best
cause oh, oh shes everyones girl
oh, oh, shes everyones girl
oh, oh, shes everyones favorite girl
one day she'll be a feminist
next day she'll be pretentious
say a bands her favorite
even if they sound like shit
cause oh, oh shes everyones girl
oh, oh, shes everyones girl
oh, oh, shes everyones favorite girl
(repeat chorus)

Not Even Jesus
02:44

no one could set you right, not even Jesus
could've turned out bright, but you chose to be dull
so don't waste your time, tryin to find a reason
ever wonder why, you've got no one to lean on?
no one could set you right, not even Jesus
so don't be surprised, to find no one needs ya
and when you say goodnight, and you're six feet under, the moonlight
I hope you see what you've become

Night Visions
02:51
|
|||
I feel safest in the dark
when theres nowhere left to hide
spend every other night strung out and tounge tied
ever since you turned me on
a song unsung
an honest lie
is on my heart
i'm no saint, but you're no God
wheres the blessing? In disguise
spent every other night, strung out and tongue tied
ever since you turned me on
a song unsung
an honest lie
is on my heart
(lead)
In all I've done, I never tried
Its all blind thought

I wanna believe you but something, something
keeps telling me that nothing, nothings
Alright x4
I wanna believe in something, something
but it all leads back to nothing, nothings
Alright x4

leaving town, leaving home
and everyone that I've known
such a pain to be alone
there'll be no more when I'm gone
candid words do no harm
i've tried to say them many times
I've said it was my fault
my mistake for being right
coming down, far too long
in a room with blinds drawn
another name carved in stone
is all I'll be when I'm gone
candid words do no harm
I've tried to say them many times
I said it was my fault
its my mistake for being right
bridges burn, you'll move on
theres not a thing you'll leave behind
resentments earned, and mines strong
I've tried to state the reasons why

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
