about

From The Album Two Sly Deuce
Written 2009
Working title: Paradox

Jeff wrote the hook, the intro/bridge, and the ending. Colin was better at singing this song. I wish we had a higher quality recording. The sleazy stoner rock middle section was written by Chris Maples. He used to sing lyrics live. "I wait by your window... etc". This song was written the same time we wrote Water Dinner, and Directions. Somewhere, there are tracks we cut at Clover Studios for the song Directions, and the song Awake.,

lyrics

Lyrics by Derrick Faith and Chris Maples

Whispers make
For a shady disposition
The burden you wear
A black coat of inquisition
For the sake of the debate
You're at the scene of the crime
And I could put in two cents
For a nickel or dime

Blind ambitions
Now I can see
Through clouded judgments
And reasoning
Fixed desires
False Disguise
Secret Motive
Truth Denied

Discretion at hand
Throw it out take it in
Chew on the fact of the matter
Before it begins
The lonely child wants
What the problem child gets
And the shooter shot to kill
When she shot from the hip

*(missing)
I wait by your window
I try to keep quiet
I pray to the needle
And worship the night
I refuse your helping hand
Weaving my demons
Straight through the eye
*
Curiosity killed the cat
But there's eight left to go
Actually four after this
But only two in the know
Drive it out of context
And turn at the phrase
Because the words are not always
What the message conveys

Blind ambitions
Now I can see
Through clouded judgments
And reasoning
Fixed desires
False Disguise
Secret Motive
Truth Denied

I’ll just pretend
It was better this way
We can just pretend
And never really say

Something smells like summer
Most of the time
But the chill of December's not
Far behind

Forget the past
And you're doomed to repeat it
But what if that's fate
And exactly what I needed
