Skate Punk Girl

Band-aids on her knees & holes in shoes - Black eyeliner and attitude
Crazy love that is hard to describe – For the sake of the song gonna give it a try
She looks like danger and smells like a dude - Trucker hat flipped back and a busted tooth
SKATE PUNK GIRL!
One foot on her deck and one on my heart - Cross the line and she’ll tear you apart
Playin it cool but I’m head over heels - With her Independent trucks & Spitfire wheels
She kissed me then smashed my face to the wall - I can still taste the bubble gum & alcohol
SKATE PUNK GIRL!
More bombastic than you woulda thunk - Third wave ska and hardcore punk
Objective, offensive, outspoken, overt - In her denim jacket and flannel shirt
Such a delicate beauty both tough & mean - Livin on the fringes of in between
SKATE PUNK GIRL!

Visions In My Head
02:17

Sonic reducer – I ain’t no loser
The way that I live is - the way that I choose
“C’est la vie mon chéri” – yeah I think that’s what she said
Follies of fools - what ya see ain’t the truth
My perceptions are changing – Affections are waning
“Vaya con Dios” - was the last thing that she said
(chorus)
I’ve been wrong before – a million times or more
My reality don’t match the visions in my head
Day after day - and night after night
There is always some fallout – always some fight
“Sayōnara baby” - was the last thing that she said
Long in the tooth is – the burden of truth when
You figure that one – is only half of the two, yeah
“Auf Wiedersehen baby” - was the last thing that she said
(repeat chorus x 2 / outro)

Gimme the whammy bar…
I ain’t about to say what is wrong or right, ain’t tryin to pick a fight
We’ll give all we got to give in measure and we hope it’s what ya like
3 piece band - mano ‘e man – ya know we try to keep it tight
But any garage act - don’t get a bit outta whack - is like a dog without a bite
Yeah we can throw it down real fast & real loud, but just one more thing always shake up the crowd
Whammy bar – whammy bar
Whammy-whammy-whammy-whammy for my guitar
Whammy bar – just like a big rock star!
Wah-wah-wah-wah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah for my guitar

Nyctophilia

Livin at night been so long without sunshine
Got a love and a preference for darkness & nighttime
Blurring the line between consciousness & dreamin
Calmness & clearness comes post meridiem
(chorus)
Seems the daytime’s a trouble and a fight
But when the sun goes down it’s all right
Don’t know what I’m doin but I do it all the time
Nyctophilia running my life
Night fades in like a creepin sorrow
Too sincere to be true in the daylight of tomorrow
See the swollen & silvery moon in the sky
Drive my thirst away with another faded midnight
(repeat chorus / bridge)
The rest of the world silent in their sleeping
Seeth-ing sha-dows … come rising up and creeping
The daylight is cruel and the vigil unfair
Gonna drink the repose of the midnight air
(repeat chorus / outro)

Lock It Up
02:26
|

Guess I’m an adult now, but I’m still getting used to it
Grown up gettin older, but still tryin to stay legit
Sometimes it’s real hard, start feelin like I wanna quit
Gotta let go of the “woe is me” bullshit
(chorus)
Sometimes you gotta lock it up - Give yourself a little shove
Put your faith in what ya love - You gotta lock it up
You gotta lock it up - Give yourself a little shove
Put it up or shut it up - You gotta lock it up
Quit talking glory days, quit talking bout what has been
Get some exercise and take your multi-vitamin
There’s the way that you are and the way that you could be
Get your ass off the couch and up your risk of injury
(repeat chorus)
Don’t wanna stay up late, gotta get up early – go to work
And if I dance all night it’s gonna make my back hurt
But then I think about the choices and the consequence
Gotta seize each day no matter what the circumstance
(repeat chorus / outro)

Flat down and ear to the ground – but I never heard her make a sound
Side door what ya comin in for – she said nothing at all
Swingin trees and the angry seas – never stirred up an emotion in me
Wind hauls and the rain that falls are just a 2 of the 3
That’s just the way that life can be
Countin down the time, three, six and nine – slow numbers gonna drag me down
Dead bored, with my eyes on the floor – just a hangin around
Set forth never changing course – down a line between a heaven and hell
Shut down and shaken out – nearly dead for a spell
But any way it’s just as well
(bridge):
Who’s to say which way the storm goes - maybe blow out to the sea
Who’s to say for whom the bell tolls – maybe for me
Thinkin bout the love and the pain and shame – realizing that they’re all the same
Stuff it in a sack, gonna send it back – to from which they came
Wrong and the right gonna fight the fight – ever since Abel & Cain
You’re born you die, then all the rest is why – they will remember your name
That’s just the way you play the game

Tonight, gonna ride my motorcycle – got, get, go
Shackles shake, kiss the wind just to escape – win, place, show
Driving eyes, see around the corner slide – flip the coin one more time
Wheels spinin, pistons slap in opposition – pray it ain’t no crime
(chorus)
Once you’re like that - you know theres no turnin back - sometimes you gotta go – forever two wheels roll
Let ‘em roll
Greasey dreams, fueled by lust for gasoline – destination mine
Shiny savior, gives it back when life betrays ya – always one more time
Worries slaked, the world becomes a smaller place – behind a denim vest
Shiny clean, fire breathin smoke machine - Your livelihood is my breath
(repeat chorus)
Gimme speed, your wants conflicting with my needs – ya gotta wanna see
Dirty boots, my tangled art of black tattoos – don’t point your judgement at me
Life obsession never been a competition – ain’t no need to ask why – WHY!
Today is as good as any day - to nearly almost die
(repeat chorus / outro)

GOTTA ROLL WITH THE WAVES – KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE HORIZON

THANKFUL FOR THE GOOD TIMES
RAISE A GLASS TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AINT ALWAYS STRAIGHT LINE
HARD TO SEE THE ROAD AROUND THE BENDS
WE GONNA BE FINE
I GOT YOU AND BABY YOU GOT ME
REMEMBER SOMETIMES – THERE’S THE
WAY THAT IT IS AND THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE
WE GOT OUR UP – DOWNS… BABY!
AINT TRYIN TO ARGUE – YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU
GOT OUR UP – DOWNS
GOTTA ROLL WITH THE WAVES – KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE HORIZON
GOT OUR UP DOWNS
WE GOT OUR UP – DOWNS
WE AINT NO ANGLES
EVERYONES A SINNER - SAYS THE SAINTS
FROM ANOTHER ANGLE
PEACE, LOVE, ALOHA - ARE OUR FAMILY TRAITS
AND SO OUR LIFE GOES
WHO’S TO SAY WHAT IS WRONG AND WHAT IS RIGHT
STICK TO WHAT WE KNOW
GRAB ON TO EACH OTHER – HANG ON TIGHT!
WE GOT OUR UP – DOWNS… BABY!
AINT TRYIN TO ARGUE – YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU
GOT OUR UP – DOWNS
GOTTA ROLL WITH THE WAVES – KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE HORIZON

Built my ride by hand yeah I know every part
Could put the bitch together blindfolded in the dark
When you shake my hand see the grease neath the nails
Ride that fire-breathin Frankenstein straight into hell
ROCCO!
Octane, acetylene, it runs in my blood
Wanna keep up with me, if ya could then ya would
Tell me to be careful, you don’t know me too well
Ride that fire-breathin Frankenstein straight into hell
ROCCO!
Burinin up the blacktop, only know how to win
Only one way to tell where too far begins
I may not be the good guy but tonight I won’t fail
Ride that fire-breathin Frankenstein straight into hell
ROCCO!
(guitar solo)
When my time has come and I go to the grave
Don’t worry bout my soul, it’s already been saved
Ashes to ashes, nitro in the cell
The only way to get to heaven in to blow straight thru hell
(outro riff)
ROCCOOOOO !!! …
