Wisdon Teeth 04:53
Wisdom Teeth There's a little man inside my mouth Everything he says plays in a loop He told me how to set my mind He said everything's going to be alright He told me everything I ever wanted to know What did he say? I wasn't paying attention. Then I found out that you were gone So I sat down at the Devil's table And he told me wise, yeah he told me twice Everything that the Devil knows He told me everything I ever wanted to know What did he say? I wasn't paying attention. Come swim with me inside a dream Wrap me up and take me home And lay me out, on the couch Maybe now that's all I'm good for The little man inside my mouth says he's come back to save the world But not without you, not without you Maybe now that's all I'm good for He told me everything I ever wanted to know What did he say? I wasn't paying attention.

Lover's Chords I swore an oath I would conceal my inner calling But these are lover's chords This quickened pace it knows my name, knows where I'm going And I can feel your arms around me sleeping in my bed Bury my heart in a river, my Gatemouth Brown My tell-tale heart, it will explode I heard a heartbeat in a wall, a deathwatch beetle Singing a clicking song Oh hopeless night with vulture eyes And the hour of the slowest clock is the tempo of salvation It never ends Bury my heart. Bury my blood in a river, my Gatemouth Brown My tell-tale heart it will explode

I Don't Want To Go If I'm not home If I'm not there to kiss you just lay your precious body down and wear your pillow like a crown If I'm not there to hold you If I'm not there to tell you why asleep so soft and delicate whisper the sweetest epithet Remember I don't want to go If I can't seem to find you If I can't be beside you now just wrap your hair around the moon and know that I'll be coming soon If I could be forgiven Inside the twinkle of an eye I'd walk your terrors to the park Console your sad and sorry heart Remember I don't want to go We will not be sleeping Called to Heaven with a shout The Kings and Queens are dreaming And I can only hope to tell you why

Bring Yrself 2 Me You are the apple of my eye Every breath I take, I stand by my mistake I'm just an atom bomb that wants to get to know you well Lover please, bring yourself to me You are a fever and disease Oh my lover please, just bring yourself to me I calculate the mass and volume of every move I make, every breath I take now The steps I take from here to there will contain all my love for you In an instant You are a fever and disease Oh my lover please, just bring yourself to me Oh I am taken Yes, I am taken But I can't stop thinking of you No I can't stop thinking of you Because I want you

Silverheels 03:52
Silverheels I'm on fire And you're a burning angel These little demons of my silence come to drag me back to you This love is quick and we are circuits in a dream bent, burnt and blown now we finally have wings Let me make myself clear right from the beginning I miss the lonely feeling every time I close my eyes I deny myself the truth about it anyway And say I just might not be what you wanted anyway I dream of Mona Lisa when I'm lying in my bed You are the truth and I am a liar These are my remains Go on and pick me over You know I really don't care if you just don't get me anymore What I 've got is time A killer keeps an open mind I'm taking my shot, don't care if nobody's looking But let me make myself clear right from the beginning I miss the lonely feeling every time I close my eyes I tell myself if we can rise above it, it will be okay If I can find a way that I can live without you It'll be okay I dream of Mona Lisa when I'm lying in my bed These demons come and take me home to you instead You are the seraphim, the echo and the fire You are the truth and I am a liar But let me make myself clear right from the beginning I miss the lonely feeling every time I close my eyes Come on and take a chance, it might be what you wanted Take a chance, I might be what you wanted We're going to rock the ending

Holy Ghost Letter Kingdom's coming down, your love has asked around I'm coming with you, we'll sway to the sound of an empty heart I'll destroy you and you will destroy me too We're lost and loaded Let's all go to Hell and sit by the window Eating bitter still I woke up chasing smoke I want to catch and hold but I settled in, I'm much too slow I'm already done, oh so dear and young How I miss you, son In the dying light of a wasted life I won't say goodbye As you faded out I was not looking back over my shoulder My last look at you won't be over my shoulder I'm already won, oh so dead and done How I miss you, son In the morning I'll get up to go and I'll leave this town and I won't look back
7.
Wasted On You You're coming around now saying sorry Saying my name like you still want me Well, I might be rough on the tongue But I'll be second to none It doesn't matter now even if you're sorry You walked away like all the lovers do And every word I said was just wasted on you It's mostly in the morning when I miss you But also at night, I can't seem to get you out of my mind, well I'm only saying this because it's true I still want to be with you You mean the world to me and baby I'm sorry It doesn't matter if I stay away I wake up every day still wasted on you I want you now, I was wrong I need you now, like I never did before I heard you're dragging chains, you say you can't forget me White hot and wasted was all you ever wanted to be Well, I never had a lover quite like you Who made me feel the way that you do But sometimes these things just don't work out the way you want them to I'm only saying this because it's true I will always be wasted on you

All My Sins Are Blotted Out I'm burning from the inside, what a delicate state I'm in Tell me now and tell me quick, am I going to make it? Please whisper in my ear, tell me all the things I want to hear All my sins are blotted out now ...buried in the depths of the deepest sea I'm falling in slow motion, the regret is sinking in I don't know if I can take it, I don't know if I'm strong enough No matter how hard I try, no matter how loud I shout All my sins are blotted out now ...all my sins are blotted out If this is it, I want it If this is it, whatever it is Please whisper in my ear I will always love you Will you stay? Will you stay even if I can't come un-stung? Will you stay when you know it's done? Please whisper in my ear and tell me all the things I want to hear All my sins are blotted out now ...buried in the depths of the deepest sea

Badr Moon 06:04
Badr Moon You are a spell so far away When the moon goes to bed she sleeps in your eyes I am lost in your magic world destiny sleeps in my veins your destiny crawls in my veins And when the moon goes to bed she never dies When the moon goes to sleep she sleeps in your eyes You will take me in your arms and never let me go I will swallow all my fear, all my bad intentions you will never know Is it too late? To beg you to destroy me and take me away Take me apart, but take me Take me in your arms You might never know it But your destiny crawls here You can't deny a badr moon

about

SPOOKY JETS by LIZARD MCGEE
available on LFM Records
www.lizardmcgee.com

In 2015 Earwig was hard at work on the most uncompromising, experimental record of their career…”Pause For The Jets” (released on Anyway/LFM in 2016). Frustrated by delays in releasing that album, Lizard McGee was inspired to record a solo version called “Spooky Jets at a Distance” or more simply…“Spooky Jets”. Alone in his bedroom, under the spell of the September Blood Moon, McGee recorded each song in one pass using just an old acoustic guitar and a single microphone. These takes are stark, rough and un-produced. The immediacy of the lo-fi recording approach remains intact. Blending in ambient sounds from the secluded woods where he lives, this set distills these fantastic songs and reveals their essential character unobscured by the sheen of the full album’s production. This album was an afterthought, recorded quickly and then forgotten...until now. There is a theory from Einstein regarding non-local entanglement called “Spooky Action at a Distance”. This solo record is relative to that theory and stands alone as a distant, affected super-interpretation. Spooky Jets, nine songs about obsession and entanglement…an intimate, ethereal, solo-acoustic version of the Earwig album “Pause For The Jets”.
