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

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

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

Empty Cool

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

The Perfect Crime

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

There Were These Swans

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

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
