We never got to talk about
What happened up in Boogie Down
The night before
Ya left me in a clubbin crowd
Ran out and I looked around
My ride was gone
Ya get so tired from runnin round in circles baby
Runnin round in circles
Til the walls surround ya
Runnin round in circles
We keep runnin round in circles
Til the wheels fall off and the engine start a five-alarmer
Ya get me messed up when ya wanna mess around
(How did we go so long?)
Ya only get me dressed up when ya wanna dress me down
(How did it go so wrong?)
Ya know that I go blind sometimes
Like I can't see without ya
And I'd go out my mind
If I couldn't dream about you now
You named me new dude for the summer
And I knew you were a world class slummer
Oh baby
Ya left all them other slides on the cuttin room floor
And yet the run time stayed the same
Cause all of you high society types
Can always use one more to shoulder the new blame
Ya get me messed up when ya wanna mess around
(How did we go so long?)
Ya only get me dressed when ya wanna dress me down
(How did it go so wrong?)
Ya know that I go blind sometimes
Like I can't see without ya
And I'd go out my mind
If I couldn't dream about you now
I hope I have a nightmare
I don't want that dream again
What was the song they played that night?
I can almost remember
The band's crown jewel, Day Job sojourns into private battles waged every day without weaponry, won with hopes for personal growth or a brief solace. You'll be left feeling more prepared for your own. Royal Coke
This is how we like 'em: Righteous, honest and well-done straight to the end! Hopeless Otis is at its fighting best on Dangerfield and just like its penultimate track says, these guys don't get tired. Royal Coke
Tense post-punk from Big Supermarket, “1800” threads bent-wire guitars through blinking keys and dead-eyed vocal lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2018
