Current mood:sizzling with anticipation
we are playing the Carabar next wednesday, the 15th
and from there we are on the road for about 2 weeks.  Come and see us off, and check out deputized Grief Andy Jody on Drums
it'll rock and also have a certain level of creepiness probably.

Whenever you're around©eric c stein

Whenever you're around   i get the feeling like i've known you once before
whenever you're around i get the feeling like i've known you once b4

I get the feeling we usta give eachother love
i get the feeling that we could never share enough
and i get this feeling whenver you're around


whenever you're around i get the feeling that you were once by my side
whenever you're around i get the feeling that you were always by my side

I get the feeling   we usta pull eachother near
I get the feeling  this had better all end here
and i get this feeling whenever you're around


Whenever you're around I get the feeling a feeling that i ignore
whenveer you're around  i get the feeling the same as i got before

i get the feeling  i don't really need your love
i get the feeling it's not all i thought it was.
and i get this feeling whenever you're around 3x



Torn and Frayed©eric c stein

the days go by so fucking fast
nothing seems to fucking last
the  things i love have turned and changed  they seem so distant cold and strange

     things that were a certain way
    used to hold a simple sense
     but these clear ways have worn and greyed
          and left me torn and frayed  2x

well, in this world we're gonna die and underground is where we'll lie
a crooked box 6 feet down where no one talks or makes a sound
     no more chances left to blow
      no more time left to kiss
     so what you didn't get you missed
     and that's just all there is
try and find love in all of this

we're given to take and we're taken to give
we're living to die and we're dying to live
a life that leads us to the grave
a freedom to which we're all enslaved
     but things are still the same old
     they'll never change, they'll always stay
      it's just your mind that worn and greyed
           and left you torn and frayed 2x

Current mood:  grumpy

here's some lyrics:

All Over Again
     Everything looks so familiar
       doesn't seem a bit peculiar
       noticed it while you were napping
       now i know what's gonna happen
            seems like i'm starting where i've already been
                looks like i'm living
                the same life
                all over
                again
[chorus]
                the same mistakes all over again
                the same heartaches all over again
                i don't know what you want from me
                or what you want me to pretend to be
                but i want out and i want free from all these chains i'm in

     days go by and i get older
     took your hand from off my shoulder
     leads me to the same conclusions
     i'm under the same delusions
          feels like i'm failing before i begin
          looks like i'm living
          the same life
          all over
          again
          [chorus]
  

     let the backlash begin baby
let them cringe and let them hate me
by the time my soul was cheapened
i found out why you were sleeping
         






Bored Outta My Gourd
quit giving me grief, no, baby i can't think when you drag me down,
gotta let me breathe, what you offer's like black smoke to a cougher,
if you'd only quit, my brain should get a break from rot you reek, for pete's sake
find a better fit, maybe i should get rid of you and know no ache
     [pre-chorus]
     And i am so fed up with life
     and i am so fed up with loss
     and i want so much more right now
     and i'm gonna get it cuz i need it and i want it gonna take it SOMEHOW!
            [chorus]
            Bored outta my gourd 2x yeah, i am 2x
[solo]
    repeat pre-chorus and chorus


The're Trying To Tell Me Something

when i walk you home at night
and you're hit by the rays of the moonlight
they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
when we're all alone and i kiss you
and the song of the sweet birds whistle

they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me

     when the wind weeps through the branches
     it almost whispers you're not true
     when i ask if something is wrong
     they always answer instead of you

when i look up and the stars seem kinda dim
and i notice you're sittin awful close to him 

they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something

when i catch a couple leaves fall out the corner of my eye
after you forgot to say good-bye

they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
they're trying to tell me something
