Goddamn you're saving face but I only wanna know your name
And hot damn you're sending everything but yourself my way
And say Hannah, do you know anywhere I can get a drink
What's a man gotta do to get a deuce of his Turkey neat
And say Hannah, do you know anywhere I can get some sleep
If you're thinking what I'm thinking than you oughta come along with me
Say Hannah
You got the right idea and if you
Wanna Hannah

I divvy'd home in the freezing cold with a bourbon's burn in my chest
Parting ways with stories told and all the pithy things that we said
I'll be waking up to the lingering taste of the bitter blood still dry on my face
I'm getting sick, I'm getting numb
Think something wicked this way comes
And I've done it again
Laid down for the pin
All my life I've been fighting a real good fight
Ducking the jabs and the Tyson rights
Taking a beating but we'll get 'em next time
And all my life I've been fighting a real good fight
Deadly lefts to my pitch black eye
Taking a beating but we'll get 'em next time
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight
You got a lot of fight in you, you got a lot of fight
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight
You got a lot of fight in you, you got a lot of fight
It's been a long time, breaking bones, heavy throws and pipelines to nowhere
It's been a hard time, breaking hearts, the heavy parts last a lifetime, you know
All my life I've been fighting a real good fight
Ducking the jabs and the Tyson rights
Taking a beating but we'll get 'em next time
And all my life I've been fighting a real good fight
Deadly lefts to my pitch black eye
Taking a beating but we'll get 'em next time
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight
I got a lot of fight in me, I got a lot of fight

Old Style

Say you're coming over tonight
It's not too late
And I just been biding my time
But I will wait
You got style
Just like so few
And it could take a while
To get close to you
You make me feel young again
Like I used to be
And we could do better than friends
If you stick with me
You got style
Just like so few
And it could take a while
To get close to you
Just say you'll stay
Don't think so far ahead
Cause tomorrow's just another day
Honey right now's not so bad
Hey what's going on tonight
I wanna see your face
In the warm streetlight
Outside your place
You got style
Just like so few
And it could take a while
To get close to you
Just say you'll stay
Don't think so far ahead
Cause tomorrow's just another day
Honey right now's not so bad
Shot down with an "I oughta be going"
Downed shots in the back of the room
All broken and sullen
"See you soon"
Yeah well baby I know it
Cause you got a hold on me but it's you that I should be holding
You got style
And I wanna try it
And I gotta try it
You got style
Well I wanna try it
I gotta try it
You got style
Good lord I been trying
Oh God I been trying
You got style
God knows I been trying
God knows I been trying
You got style
Oh lord I been trying
Good lord I been trying
You got style
Oh God I been trying
You know I been trying
You got style
You know I been trying
You know I been trying
You got style
You know I been trying
You know I been trying

Bike Lane Rock

Speeding away again and I'm on my own
I got a lot of ground to go
I'm burning the pavement cause you're much too slow
I gotta rock I gotta roll
Speeding away again just like a ghost in the wind
I got nowhere to go
Say what you say again they spin and they spin and they spin
Well that's a bike lane rock and roll
Speeding away again and I'm on my own
I got a lot of ground to go
I'm burning the pavement cause you're much too slow
I gotta rock I gotta roll

Queen of Hearts

Met your blue eyes on the brown line
They matched your blue jeans and broken sense of pride
Said you're much cooler in the downtime
Well let me see what you got cause honey I got all night
She's holding court at the bar and its known
That I'm just a fool beside her throne
Lusting away at the thought of it all
Here's looking at you don't call it off
I want you girl
Your American dream
If you're taking on the whole world
Why don't you start with me
We could climb a rock face shitfaced drunk in June
We could head up north to Norway double back and go southward too
We would close down pubs in Dublin hammer out each night
We waste worry on nothing power through the sorry times
You said my Jimmy Stewart's pretty good
I pulled down the moon 'til you understood
Those Buffalo girls got nothing on us
We're smart enough we don't dare say "love"
I want you girl
Your American dream
If you're taking on the whole world
Why don't you start with me
I want you girl
Your American dream
If you're taking on the whole world
Why don't you start with me
I want you girl
Your American dream
If you're taking on the whole world
Why don't you start with me
Queen of hearts show me what you're made of
I can hardly take this waiting
Joan of Arc set me on fire
A million days of this desire
In the dark and blinding nowhere
Can't believe this lonely fanfare
Queen of hearts show me what you're made of
It'll never work but don't forsake me

Incident on Montrose Ave
03:27
|

As she lays her head on the dirty kitchen floor
It's not quite enough
Unsheltered from the storm
That's what Hannah says
She just don't feel it anymore
She's so augured in
Grandfathered into a war
But she's pushing onward
Jokes of killing herself
So just say it softer
You can't live anyway else
Let it be a memory
A stroke inside a letter
Of a distant EOD
Smoke screens and cloudy weather
That's what Hannah says
She just don't feel any better
When we all found out
Just what she'd done
It felt so profound
She'd just up and gone
That's what I always say
It won't always be that way
Came in a wreck
High top vans and a dress
Drinking whiskey and cokes
In a bar where nobody goes
Says she hates the commute
Coming back from the loop
Sets down her glass and says
"Thanks for having my back"
This one's for all my friends
And all those who celebrate
Champagne and best laid plans well
We aint waiting for a rainy day
Though our hearts may drift apart
We still got the souvenirs
And may you never be too far
To get together for a couple of beers
Take me to the train
Let me off this line
Give me a new name
Let me ride all night
Cause every bit of pain
Will fade away with time
That's what Hannah says

Kicked out of The Store last Saturday night
Had the whole place rocking hip space getting tight
With the sound guy puking on the curb outside
We turned the amps up all along the backline
It's okay
Yeah
It's alright
Kicked out of The Store last Saturday night
Things were getting good 'til the space got tight
We were playing loud music, getting pretty drunk
We turned the amps up I blew a hole in my lungs
It's okay
Yeah
It's alright
Kicked out of The Store but now I'm a star
They're real pissed off at the end of the bar
Cause we were playing loud music and getting pretty drunk
At least that's what we remember but maybe the show sucked
It's okay
Yeah
It's alright
It's okay
Yeah
It's alright
