Stuck Without Glue
03:36
|

Frame by frame
Life was dyed one frame at a time
With paint that left no trace
Behind your face
What you radiate
To make it click
That is the trick
That's the hardest part
Where your wild things are
Buried deep and far
Down below
All your scars
So hide it well
But I still can tell
I won't say anything
and I'll wait...
But life is meant to be lived
Shouted out loud into the wind
No time like now for chimin' in
I never heed
Warnings that I need
I am stuck without glue
Exactly like you
Taking up space with no place
to go to
So I hide it well
Maybe you can tell
Please don't say anything
and just wait...
But life is meant to be lived
Shouted out loud into the wind
No time like now for chimin' in

In a Box Somewhere
03:34
|
|||
I'm in your bathroom
I'm in your kitchen
I am under your table
I'm by the window
Behind the curtain
But I'm nowhere you can find me
I'm not under your bed
I am the car that you wrecked
The missing card from the deck
I'm that photo that you lost
I'm in storage - in a box
I'm the mail you never check
I'm the placebo effect
I'm in your bathroom
I'm in your kitchen
I am under your table
I'm by the window
Behind the curtain
But I'm nowhere you can find me
I'm not under your bed
You're around everywhere
You're the object of the stares
When the cash drawer goes ka-ching
They all pay for everything
When that drawer is finally short
Maybe then you'll feel remorse
I'm in your bathroom
I'm in your kitchen
I am under the table
I'm by the window
behind the curtain
But I'm nowhere you can find me
I'm not under your bed

Super Human Strength
03:43
|
|||
A child is pinned underneath a car
Her mom lifts the camaro just like she's possessed
With superhuman strength she saves the day
Superhuman strength saves the day
Kids are walking on a frozen pond
The ice cracks, they fall in, but just before they drown
With superhuman strength they're all pulled out
Superhuman strength pulls them out
Never fade away away
Never fade away away
A girl has been kidnapped and taken far away
Her sister hears her screaming calling out her name
With superhuman eyes she sees her there
Superhuman eyes save the day
Never fade away away
Never fade away away

The New Me
02:44
|
|||
When tomorrow begins
I'll turn my life around
The new me that I'll be
Will really go to town
If tomorrow ever comes
I will be the sun
And burn up everyone
Don't wanna sink
I'm so afraid I'll drown
But if you think
That you won't blink
Then you can stick around
When tomorrow is today
I'll be a trebuchet
And leave 'em where they lay
When tomorrow is today
I'll be a trebuchet
When tomorrow is..
TODAY I wait
I try to bide my time
But I can't wait
I can't sit
When morning bells have chimed
'Cuz tomorrow is today
Running very late
To try to catch my fate
Tomorrow is today
Tomorrow is today
I'm gonna catch my...
FATE is cruel
It grinds you in the ground
But you'll sprout up
Through the cracks
At the speed of sound
Tomorrow is today
Here me when I say
That you will be okay
You will be okay
You're gonna be okay
You're gonna be okay
wait for it...
wait for it...
NOW
NOW

Put Out the Fire
02:42

Put out the fire
Put out the fire please
You're choking me
You're choking me
Let's go outside now
Let's go outside now please
and feel the breeze
and feel the breeze
Left them to burn away
Ran out of things to say
We'll fight some other day
Let me be quiet
Let me be quiet please
I'm sick of me
I'm sick of me
You could just try it
You could just try it please
Just humor me
Just humor me
Put all our toys away
We don't know how to play
Maybe we'll learn someday
(repeat)

Evaporate
03:46
|
|||
You are the clear water
Soft spoken warm hearted
When you look my way
It all comes into play
And I just wanna ride that wave
And when you're done stalling
You'll know that I've fallen
Oh, when I'm near you
There's a buzz going on around your face
Oh, when you're near me
I get high and my mind evaporates
and I feel no pain
With you wrapped around my brain

It Hangs in the Air
02:15
|
|||
Before the deed is done
If the words would only come
Left to their own tedium
They hang in the air
They hang in the air
And when the song is sung
Make a note of things undone
Your words stop at your tongue
They hang in the air
They hang in the air
Here's to hope; here's to dreams
If you lift the mystery
All that's left is you and me
And space that's in between
Unbeknownst to everyone
Sight unseen oblivion
You may have the urge to run
It hangs in the air
It hangs in the air
Always something else you need
Somewhere just beyond your reach
There's a space that's widening
Space thats in between

Dainty Little Princess
01:29
|

Dainty little princess, that's me
Hold my little finger up while sipping tea
If only I could sell my soul to make my make-up pop
Enough is not enough coz there's just no way to stop
Worked my fingers to the bone sometimes until they bled
What was my reward? Sent to the menstrual shed
With all my sister's clothes around and nothing else to do
I'd try them on and prance around - woo hoo!
I'm beautiful
I'm beautiful
I'm byoo-T-ful
oi oi oi oi

Burnt Plane
04:15
|
|||
Don't try.. to save me
Go on.. and pave me
So cold am I
But burning inside
To be free and wild
Go out with the tide
I Wash my brain with a dirty sponge
The water's cold, but I take the plunge
Cooped up and hibernating way too long
Every time I close my eyes
I hear this song:
oooEEEoooo
oooEEEoooo
More of the same thing
I'm just your plaything
I'm gonna try
for pie in the sky
No time for goodbyes
I'm gonna fly
I'm pouring gas on a burning plane
I know to you I probably seem insane
To turn my back on the human race
Your mask is melting fast
into your face
oooEEEoooo
oooEEEoooo

Whole Thing
04:14
|
|||
Out on the street
Time served time asleep
Passing in the night
Neither one of us quite right
But as a whole thing
Crazy as it seems
Together we would laugh about
What other people think
As a whole thing
Together we would be
100,000 watts
Shining down on everything
As a whole thing
No better way to be
O can't you feel it?
Can't you feel it?
O don't you feel it?
O can't you feel it?
Can't you feel it?
Time served time asleep
We'll probably never meet
But what if we were free?
If only we were free
As a whole thing
Together we would be
100,000 watts
Shining down on everything
As a whole thing
Crazy as it seems
Together we would laugh about
What other people think
As a whole thing
No better way to be
O can't you feel it?
(As a whole thing) Can't you feel it?
(As a whole thing) Can't you feel it?

Marshall Keith Washington, D.C.
I'm not satisfied with ordinary. I grew up in the Washington DC area. I formed The Slickee Boys with Kim Kane. we played anything and everything. It was probably my fault that we couldn't settle on one genre. I always want to throw a crazy melody or some kind of twist into things. ... more
