- Aurora Lies
Leaving the suburbs for nights on the fringe
We shovel the snow just to give us the edge
Selling our bodies to unmarked cars
This Motor City can make us a star
Tell me what you want from me
Show me that the best of days
Won't end up behind me
- Boogie Lights
They don’t even know you’re name
Anonymous blood and carnal gains
Playing hide and seek for days
Our love is buried in cocaine (sin pays)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
- Catalina Wine Mixer
hurry up, it's getting late
I hear him moving, unconscious masquerade
kiss me twice before I leave
the first for the islands,
the second sets you free
I don't wanna love you always (I love you more)
it changes with the passing tide (I love you more)
- Council Bluffs
the Silver Lake is emptied out
past the double lines that made you real
all the broken promises and the doted lights
that were born waiting on the deal
you're hustling the millionaires for the extra points inside the stars
- Curious Serge
You were 23 and dying alone
Jealous lovers, selling off the loan
Taunting me with every little goodbye
Begging me to touch you, touch you all night
It gets better, oh it gets better, it gets better…
(I can’t believe) then you showed me you’re not for me
- Delta
highways were built to fold
keeping us tied to the great unknown
lose your legs and stow away with me
it's elementary
find the stars, the fires, and the sea
there's so much left to believe
- dirty dreams
powdered pride in a jar near your bed
save it up, save it up for the death of loneliness
caution tape around the scars that still bleed for me
for me
who knows?
tones the shape of surprise
- Ice Wharf
I was lost on a one way ticket to the house
where the drugs are free
and the lights are down
you we're waiting on me
but I was keeping it cool
the ice breaks beneath and we're falling through
I, I was getting bit by you
- Lost Weekend
fools take a ride
Pacific Heights the falls and the slide
historic blues
cover up all the bad news, bad news
Cabrillo Way
keep the inner dragons at bay
tolls underpaid
- My Billie Jean
well she long'd for another town
said she "burned too hot to settle down"
between the bars she'd make amends
but she cried for a love that was sure to end
i cant remember all her lies (Think about it)
i played her game just to feel those eyes
i couldnt even ask her why
- Physical Acts
Whatever happened to Brotherly Love?
It lost its name in the hands of a flash mob
Now the streets ain't safe to walk on
The cities bleeding green and red
Just pack your bags real tight and pay for the best
It's a heart-attack called lust
the Vine Street layabout
- Pluto
smoke rings it's a smooth attack
I guess we'll never make it back
stand up and come alone with me
the beat ticks, 1,2,3
staring out the window reasons aside
we're never gonna make it alive
speeds cold but these hands are warm
- Rad Racer
missing the nights that left us holding on
cause the city gets lonely when we're not strong enough
lusting the pills that send us to the sky
now the lights are changing and taking us for a ride
I'm a rad racer, big city chaser, running away with you tonight
brake dust tears, but we're still stumblin' on
- Sunset Junction
somebody told me the answers were in my mind
next to the reasons and under the love we hide
but I know where they go (everytime I lie)
(they ain't comin' for us) I know
somebody told me the future was mine was to lose
riding a wave and turning this white to blue
but I hope they're wrong (it's keeping me alive)
- Third Wave
it's in the way you smile
I'm broken
spinnin' just like the nighttime
unfolding
sailing away
down to the keys
loosing our rhythm to the ocean breeze
you and I are exactly where we want to be
- Tigerbeats
Frankford Avenue is where I'm gonna find you
riding over the tracks of the 15
fixed gear lovers
the shadows that bind two
steal some sugar and just close your eyes
sign that treaty
drown on the Delaware
