I popped three balloons to win a coke mirror Thought it was cool because of Bob Seger I recollect spinning too long on the swinger And the sweet, dirty smell of his dad's cigar Threw up as soon as I got outta the car We had to file our teeth sharp To ward off the child taker I can still see that boy folded in half Fell from the monkey bars, of course we laughed We could bust open the box to steal Cinemax A quarterstick in the mailbox, who needs a bat Diving in the Monte Carlo as we heard the blast We taught our wolves to bark To warn us of the child taker
2.
I closed my eyes When I woke up this morning I could still see yesterday's sun Haunting the new day Shining light through paper Looking at fake pictures of real ghosts I closed my mouth When I lied to you last night I could still taste the lie on my breath Haunting the new day Hiding from my own legend Looking at fake pictures of real ghosts Then the driver told us The next stop is the last stop

Foul Play 03:10
Lady of my diamond Where have you been? You say that hatred is the answer But that’s written in sin But my love it got infected But I waited in vain Love is just immortal My lie is foretold
4.
Empty Cool 02:02
Well I’ve taken love And I throw the switch Well I hated everything inside us And I drank the book And I broke the seals And I hated everything inside us And I’m destroying every demon haunted world And I fall Fall to my knees I’m empty cool
5.
Yeah, I wanna take a walk where the sun never sets And see if I could come up with the perfect crime Yeah, you know I was so sorry that I broke your heart Yeah, but maybe I could come up with the perfect crime Take the bag off of the shelf Think quick No one will notice
6.
In defeat I got secrets I can’t keep My name is Mister Mystery I am the other history I do not care And with plus four damage to spare I’m torching every mystery school And I nullify the ghouls Yeah you fucking fools Please don’t screech I got secrets I can’t keep That are ready to reveal The lamb has broken all the seals There were these swans And a prelude to some fawns That look like ornaments on lawns That look like ornaments on lawns Well I know There were these swans Locking my heart away Locking my soul away

I’m a stranger in my own hometown And all the streets are empty now But I’m going where the skies are blue I refuse to be a mark for you I reject the world and everything you love I gave my heart to the one above It’s time for me to disappear I walk into a sky so clear But all I ask is to name your price And all the streets are empty now

about

Doleful Lions Chicago, Illinois

Doleful Lions are one the great lost bands of modern times, its not an under achiever thing rather more that they’ve been constantly overlooked in favour of ensembles, fads and fashions less musically astute and considerably less talented, always occupying their own little orbit shying away from the various bandwagons that have come passing them by - Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience) ... more
