Palisades
Put up your palisades, the earth has turned
A path of fire burns the trees
The church and boardwalk, they will not escape
The river runs away in fear
Inside the citadel you suffocate
Waiting for everything to burn
The ice can hold him only for so long
The extra oxygen returns
Bad smell and madness indicate decay
Maybe you leave him here to learn
But you're all prisoners in the citadel
Waiting for everything to burn
Don't mind the stars
They're far too far
Color controls you
Right where you are
Color controls you
Right where you are...

Eloping at Midnight
Yeah, I’m eloping at midnight
This is the last you'll see me
What they give me don't feel right
They should be setting me free
Those are the breaks
Whatever it takes
I catch the 308
...and I'm free.
It was an accident when I
Set fire to the TV
That's why I had to toss it
Off the balcony
Those are the breaks
Whatever it takes
I’ll catch the 308
I got no rights
I got no case
But I got the 308
Yeah
Ah-do-da-do
Da-do-da-do
Ah-do-da-do
Da-do-da-do
So I'm eloping at midnight
Just gotta get to the street
And hope the driver don't notice
I got no shoes on my feet
Those are the breaks
Whatever it takes
I’ll catch the 308
I got no rights
I got no case
But I got the 308

Madly
I have fallen madly in love
Guess you know it's true
I have fallen madly in love
In spite of you
See me falling effortlessly
This can't be undone
See me falling effortlessly
Hope you've had your fun
I should have know that she was up to something
Talk about a dead giveaway!
Halfway through the hole she had me digging
Asked what my epitaph should say
Asked what my epitaph should say
When I stood and toasted our love
We were met with cheers
When they wished us twenty-five more
You burst into tears
Still, my dear, a present for you,
As pure a pearl could get
From an ocean deep as our love
(Just don't get it wet.)
I should have know that she was up to something
Talk about a dead giveaway!
Halfway through the hole she had me digging
Asked what my epitaph should say
Asked what my epitaph should say
In the garden properly apart
Time to celebrate!
Drinking homemade cherry root tea
With your almond cake
One by one for cherry root tea,
And your almond cake.

Halloween
Well, she put me in a trance
When I set eyes on her
I broke into a dance
I never even danced before
When my composure was regained
She was nowhere to be seen
It all comes back to haunt me on...
Halloween
Never did I doubt
That I'd set eyes on her
For never in my dreams
Could I have conjured her
Yet, nobody in the room
Could confirm what I had seen
It all comes back to haunt me on
Halloween
Here face is there before me still
A look of ridicule and cheer
A ghastly beauty
Only wasted Post-Impressionists
Could imitate the essence of...
Here's the thing about a trance–
There's little you can do.
You follow the commands
Or be released.
Now I struggle to move on
Set aside what I have seen
But it all comes back to haunt me on
Halloween

With The Gothtones
Right outside your window
We're waiting here for you
Just pop your head out
And give us a "boo!"
We'll be waiting for you
Whenever your alone
Just cut your head off
And follow us down
Come rattle the cages
Come rattle the bones
Come into the night
with The Gothtones
Come hear the cried
Come hear the moans
Come hear the sounds
of The Gothtones
Remember when they told you
To never be afraid?
Well they suck for lying
You will always be afraid.
Your ashes will be scattered
The wind will say a spell
Your spirit will awaken
When you hear the bell
Your spirit will awaken
When you hear the bell
Come rattle the bones
Come rattle the scars
Come into the night
with the Black Cars
Come hear the cries
Come hear the moans
Come hear the sounds
of The Gothtones
Come hear the sounds
of The Gothtones

Mirrors
You've been surrounded by fools
In a hall of mirrors
One thing we didn't know
Was how bananas the bugs would go
Always on the outside
How fun can it be
Just hanging around?
You had to mess for a minute though
Show what it's like not to have a soul
Instantaneous midnight
Put these glasses on
And fall through the sky
Mirrors pointing at you
We drove a long way to see
The dawn of misery

Mountains
Too late for you to come clean
After all the dirt that I've seen
Bad luck? No.
Nor a bad dream.
Can't live without you, I know.
Down deep Dewar's I go...
Painless, spiteful, and slow.
Stone by stone
Dust and all
That's how mountains fall
Stone by stone
Dust and all
That's how mountains fall
Time takes to walk out the door
What you got, not one minute more
Bottles start hitting the floor
Stone by stone
Dust and all
That's how mountains fall
Stone by stone
Dust and all....

I don't give a shit about
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
I don't waste a minute on
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
I don't give a shit about
The Cubs and The Sox
She used to want to hold you
Now you gotta beg
You used to have a six pack
Now you got a keg
How much time has slipped away
Watching replays?
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
I don't waste a minute on
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
I don't give a shit about
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
The Cubs and The Sox
I don't waste a minute on
The Cubs and The Sox

Upbeat
In the cemetery
They fell in love
Now the streets are burning
And they're coming for you
The Vipers and the Irons too
All you have on you
Is what you could grab
And you hid behind an open slab
Now keep it upbeat
Upbeat
Upbeat
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Keep it upbeat
Upbeat
Upbeat
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Underneath a Chevy
They fell in love
And on train to Aurora,
and in half-eaten truck,
How long 'til they're out of luck
But the stars are all out
And Vipers's night vision too
Should be good here for a night or two
Underneath the heavens
They fell in love
But the hills are burning
And it's a good time to run
Hang on to my potato gun
And their eyes are upon us
And they’ll be coming for you
So go do what you've gotta do.
And keep it upbeat
Upbeat
Upbeat
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Keep it upbeat
Upbeat
UpbeatYeah, yeah, yeah...
