lyrics

I WAS WAKING UP FROM A NIGHTMARE, WASN'T I?
SHE WAS MAKING LOVE TO A ROOM FULL OF TIRED EYES
I FELL RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP
WHILE HER HEART KEPT THE BEAT
WE WERE JUKEBOX LOVERS BONDING OVER B-17
POUNDING OUT THE MOMENT LIKE THERE (WAS) NO ONE THERE
TO TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK
TO TELL YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE

WELL, I BELIEVE I FELL IN LOVE THAT NIGHT
I READ THAT NAME IN A RING OF SMOKE
THAT DRIFTED THROUGH THE BAR'S SOFT LIGHT
IT WAS JUST THE PATTERN OF HER COAT

I CAN STILL PLACE MYSELF IN SEPTEMBER
WHERE THE GRASS WAS DEAD AND WE BUILT A CITY
ON BURNING BLOODSHOT EYES
AND A MILLION OTHER TIMES
WHEN WE THREW OURSELVES OUT TO THE WOLVES
AND TOOK OUR SOUVENIRS AND PUT THEM IN A SHOEBOX
WE LOOK AT THEM SOMETIMES
WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE

AND I THINK THAT I WASTED ALL MY YOUTH ON ALL THE TIME THAT I SPENT WAITING
AND I KNOW THAT I CAVED IN SO MANY TIMES I SHOULD HAVE STOOD MY GROUND
AND NOW I'LL NEVER MAKE A SOUND AGAIN

about

THE KERRIGANS Mc Kinney, Texas

I WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING WITH A LITTLE MORE IMMEDIACY. NOT AS MUCH FOCUSING ON WRITING A SONG, SO MUCH AS JUST WRITING. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE STILL POP ELEMENTS WITHIN THE MUSIC, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE INTENTION OF THIS PROJECT. MOST OF THE MATERIAL WAS WRITTEN IN ONE NIGHT ON MY PHONE DURING SMOKE BREAKS AT WORK. THE OTHER PIECES WERE HASTILY CONSTRUCTED. WATCH YOUR KNEES. ... more
