All the dregs and all the drags
It’s the company I have
We’re all common criminals
The affidavit says
Nobody ever pouts as much as I do
Because, I know when it’s over
There’s no you and I
Same old body language
Same old line
Your fifteen minutes is up this time
Your all used up and abandoned
All I have to do is just pick up the phone
Just so I can tell you that I don’t wanna talk
Nothing left to say that I haven’t already,
so much
But I’ve got news for you
I’ve got news for you
That boy...leave him alone
He got a gun for a mouth
For all we know we all get born to die
I just don’t know how to tell you no
Gonna barely get by with you
Every time I get the feeling I’m being used
Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer
If it’s all I ever get out of you
Every time I turn around the colors are new
Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer
All I want is a way to get out of here
Every time I turn around the faces get weird
Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer
They say bye
Nobody ever pouts as much as I do
Because I don’t call you sober and I don’t know why
I don’t walk the crazy walk
I just like to talk it cause it messes ‘em up
Guess I make you nervous cause I know you so well
But I’ve got news for you
I’ve got a noose for you
All I want is a way to get out of here
Every time I turn around the faces get weird
Still I only want to get high with you a little longer
If it’s all I ever get out of you
Every time I turn around the furniture moves
Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer
And say goodbye

There ain’t no god watching over you
To save you from yourself
And from harm too
Listen to your heart it’s telling you the truth
Do you think that you’ve wasted all your time
Living someone else’s version of
How it’s supposed to be,
Either way, it’s hard
I was waiting
Waiting for the rain to fall over me
Bracing for a fall I couldn’t see
Turned around to see you
At my door
But you don’t have to say anything
Cause I don’t even want to know
Who you spent your time with
Cause I don’t want to lose to you now
But, I know how to be alone
In the music’s arms and
I’m not afraid of what your gonna do next
But you know I’d be coming home
If that’s what you wanted
And I won’t have to prove anything else
Takes so much of all our energy
Back when we were so called enemies
Turns you into junkies
Just to get by
Any day, I’d rather hear you
Talk about when you were in Vietnam
This is Normal
Never gonna look back now
Your so Normal

Cigarette Buzz*

Ashley, I will never get to know
Ashley goes so fast
I take you like a habit
Cause I never have a choice
Mess with me like a cigarette buzz
Match me for every dirty little thought
Undress me with those innocent eyes
But nothing ever happens
Cause I know where it’s gonna go
Ashley fades like a cigarette buzz
Take from the river where your light shines
I’ll be heavy where your light shines
A part of me is sewn in body cares
But, another part of me is returning silently
Take me forever
Where your light shines
I’ll be heavy where your light shines
Abode and no body’s sick cough ever
We were louder
No one’s heart is any louder
I’ll be unfound and no one bother me
Cause your still a part of me
And it seems just like a dream
I can’t wake up
Out of this heaven in having your coattails

Shadows in the sun
Walking close to you
These things they go by so fast
And then they sound all out of tune
Or something like that
Shadows in the sun
I’d stick my neck out
But I lost my body
I turn to stone til’ they leave me alone
I killed off every light
He comes with seven eleven virgins,
In all white
With Coca Cola colored pearls
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
You get dejected all the time
Do you want to feel wanted?
So, I’m very sorry no one showed up
When you where under operation
But, I called you up
And explained that I was bleeding on my company
Please don’t get mad if I kissed another girl...before
See now don’t go and get so excited
Don’t break a nail for me
And don’t make a bad habit for me
Be compatible to your fingertips
So simply mad
I’m older and colder and
I gotta know
How a guy like that is possible
So back on the street
We don’t call the police
I’d rather smash up my guitar
She don’t mind, she don’t mind, she don’t mind
She’s got a different way to cum
But, I don’t even care
See, what we have, what we have
What we had made me stupid and sad
This is an oversight
(Does someone not see it)?
Get all catholic
If cannons point it our way
You can’t unsolve it
But, you don’t wanna look
You were under operation
When I called you up
You see, now I’m the kind of cat
Who thinks there’s an explanation
For just about everything...
But, this time I don’t know, I don’t know,
I don’t know, ect. ect.

July*

July,
I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things,
I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like
You smell like July
I’ll say many things,
I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you like
The stink of a crime
Hung around for days
On your pretty face
We slept in a pile
Of words that went wild
I’ll say many things,
I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like
Can’t make it stop
Roughin’ me up
Coughing I my face
Except in the night
Our tongues don’t get tied
I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things,
I’ll forget how to lie
Down and keep quiet
I’ll say many things,
I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like
You smell like July
I’ll say many things,
I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like
Let’s go to the ditch
Throw the bullshit in
Talk about the things
We did in July
I’ll look in your eye
And know just what I meant
I’ll know just what I meant
When we spoke in July
We spoke on July

Shoulder To Shoulder
07:17

Every time I turn around your looking away
All I ever see is space
All in your eyes
Cold like a soldier’s
Another step and your running around
On a million mother’s minds
Oh, but tonight
I don’t know you
I’ll never catch another fever again
You’ll never hear me throwing touchy feely lines
In a these songs in all this time
Oh, but your eyes were looking over my shoulder
I fell apart like a girl over you
I hope they don’t do that to you
Over the line
You know I never should of showed you how
You know I never should of showed you
High up above
There’s a room with a view
I’d go there when you’d want me to
Open you’re eyes
You know we’re shoulder to shoulder
If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found
And I can’t reach out to anyone
Not even that girl of mine
The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares
I don’t what they ever do for you
But, it’s odd that I got away
Take it back
I’m gonna tear it all apart
I don’t know what I feel
I don’t even know why
But, then I turn around, turn around
I see your eyes
Then I know that it’s over
I’ll never touch that ceiling again
I don’t look back at all the photographs
Oh, I work to hard at not seeing that
See you’re eyes
And you get me goin’ sober
If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found
And I can’t reach out to anyone
Not even that girl of mine
The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares
Every time I turn around
Your looking away
And all I ever see is space
All in you’re eyes
Made of stone like a soldier’s
And up above there’s a room with a view
And I go there when you want me to
Open you’re eyes
See now we’re shoulder to shoulder now
You know I never should’ve shown you how
You know I never should’a showed you
If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found
I can’t reach out to anyone
The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares

Lowded

Just want to move somebody
What’s standing in the way?
They can’t believe I’ve never seen a God before
Jesus freaks knocking at the door
I said no matter how I reach you
I just still don’t belong
Solely to anyone
But, last night I wanted to go with you
You say we’d get on the road again
And it’s all or nothing
Back when a few was enough
But every single part of me is crowded, overflowed
Just like talkative deriere
From out of New York City
The streets gonna get you
The city’s gonna swallow you
And you will never feel like I do
But, you will never feel like I do
But, you will never feel like I do
A fever like this
I’ve never known before
We get surrounded by the “know-it-alls”
I find it so bizarre that I don’t talk to you again
But that’s alright
No, it’s insane
But, if I were you
And I saw the view
I’d get lumps in my throat
We’ve seen it al before
We’ve heard it all before
I never meant to make you laugh or cry
You make me sigh
So if you go feeling lowded like I do
I feel desirable slightly out of view
High and low
Looking for a reason for me not to go
Been dying just to have a fuckin’ conversation
I wanna touch your lips when they’re not talking crazy
But, you will never feel like I do
But, you wool never feel like I do
So, let’s get lowded and go start all over,
and over, and over, and over
Don’t want to get over
Don’t want to get over
I don’t want to get over you again

It’s not anyone in the world
Not anyone in the world
There’s only you
I don’t want to wait here
You think we don’t exist
Just in you’re imagination
But, you never know
You’e got many questions
We’ve got many answers
But, they mean nothing to you
So, you’ll never know...sad
Your gonna walk alone tonight
Your gonna walk alone forever
Can’t stand your own reflection
So tell me why
I can’t talk about
Anything when I get you alone
You never want to ask
But, you need the money
Well, I never feel like I belong
No apologies made here is all way through
It’s true
I lost all my affection
Cause, they did nothing with it
But, I am not a person
That you’d want to know
So, don’t know nobody
You’re so in view
Decadence on cue
So, you’d never notice that
It’s all gonna fade away
Cause, oh, when you look in his eyes
And you see it’s too late
Don’t go too soon
(don’t be like that)
I want you to be loyal
(you go so fast)
You used to fake it less
Your gonna walk alone tonight
Your gonna walk alone forever
Can’t stand your own reflection
So tell me why
I can’t talk about
Anything when I get you alone
You never want to ask
Well, you need the money
But, you never feel like you belong
But, if all you do is fake it
Then I guess that I will too
I think your walking backwards
When you talking in “what if’s”
But, it’s just in my imagination
You perpetuated
We’re all zeroes in you’re eyes
Heads with missing bodies
We would never do
Guess you never knew too much at all

THE SPIRAL SOUND Fort Worth, Texas
Electro-Rockers, THE SPIRAL SOUND, who’s music Christian James describes as “plastic sex rock”, is informed by electronic
music, but angular guitars and effects laden riffs are the driving force that surround Christian’s raspy, androgynous and sentient vocal performances. The songs are danceable but dark and intelligent with odd guitar tunings, thick slabs of reverb, delay and polyrhythmic beats
