Darling don't go out tonight
There's terror waiting in the wing
Darling don't go out tonight
Don't you risk anything
Oh no you don't believe it
Oh no you're leaving with me
I dream of you
That's why I sleep all the time that's why
Come drive me crazy tonight
Come rock me lady to sleep
Fortune tellers egged you on
Cons bugged the CB radio
Smooth Jim he tells you what you need to know
Oh no you don't believe it
Oh no you're leaving with me
Darling don't go out tonight
Darling he's waiting in the wing
Are you so shy?
No I don't believe it
You're leaving with me

Shut Up Casanova

Shut up, Casanova, no one cares what you make
Not a half-wit, none of it, baby I got some brains
Is she a loser like the others that you drown in your bed?
Can you make a better offer, or is that the best you can do?
Thirty thousand knocks kept me up and awake
So I drove out to the airport, I got away
After touching down in Vegas we rode up to the stars
Asked a mermaid in a bubble, is that that the best you can do?

Diamonds
05:29
|

|
You’ve been sleeping with the enemy night after night
Feel them breathing fire over us, fire without a light
You’re chewing on the walls, but you can’t find a way out, no way out
I got diamonds in my address, you got diamonds at your side
Center of a hurricane, sleepy and surprised
Diamonds are the reason we’re not leaving, baby, you know why
You know why
Come through, whatever you do
I’ll be waiting for you on ice
On ice we are young
I wish I’d moved away from here, wish it was LA
In the eighties in a neon car, to make a getaway
All the evening lighting up the ocean, hey man there's a diver down
So far out
Come through, whatever you do
I’ll be waiting for you on ice
On ice we are young
We’ll never know our story, we’ll never move to Venice
In time the mystery mirrors the form it hides
Come lightly in glory, serenely say you’re sorry
And I believe you honey, we’re tied to ice
All of them witches, not one of them you
All of them witches, not one of them you
All of them witches, not one them you
All of them witches, not one them you
Shoot me
Hello I want to kiss you, want to kiss you on ice
Hello I want to kiss, want to kiss you on ice
Hello I want to kiss you, want to kiss you on ice
Oh Lord I want to kiss, want to kiss you and die
Yeah?

Watch the Stars
03:55

The most important woman in the world is taking me out
To see the movie that will move me
She’s taking me out
More stars on the screen than there’ve ever been
We’re flying over miles of machines, a terrible moon
Far from the castle back there in the desert
It was a terrible zoo
Somehow I’m not afraid, they walk the sky but they live in a cage
Sparkling and obscene, fairy lights on a screen
Back home, I saw them again
Back home, again and again
Home alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
As long as there’s someone watching the stars
As long as there’s someone watching the stars
As long as there’s someone watching
There’s someone watching
Someone watching
As long as there’s someone watching them (watch the stars, watch the stars)
As long as there’s someone watching
Someone watching
Someone watching
Stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars
I’ll watch the stars
Stars (a-hoo) Stars (a-hoo) Stars
I’ll watch the stars…
I’ll watch the stars…

Poor You
02:21

Hey you, hey why’d you go and do that?
Did free love, did free love get you down?
The cold Nevada sun
Shines bright on everyone
But you
Your sign is in decline
And now I’ve made it mine
Poor you
I’m sent from Napa and Vallejo
To burn ya, man
To burn your fire out
I shot out all your tires
You’ll die like those who died
From you
Just like you, I’m hunting
Just like you, but I’ve got the badge
Hello - still with me?
Oh we’ll be driving round for miles and miles and miles and miles…
Son of a bitch
Found alone in a car
Not as slick as you think you are
Son of a bitch
Left a mess in a car
Who’s that, oh man, could it be
Poor you?

Say Her Name
03:50
|

|
After hours in our house
Under rain, under rain
Watch her now silently
Silently watch her now
Check out the old wife
Beating up the younger one
We're still at it
Now isn’t it wild
Easily wooly wild
Don't ever run away
We never run away
We're the wrong road
bungalow ladies
Wildly we unite
Say her name, say her name
Say her name, say her name
Take her home when I die
Take her home and take her name
You're frozen in fame
No one remembers your name
You're frozen in fame
Frozen in fame
Oh take me in my empty pool
Check out the new wife
Eating out the other one’s
Empty shadow
Isn’t it wild
Easily wooly wild
We take another runaway
Under rain, under rain
See California
Through darker windows
Why don't we do it again?

Kill the Lights
03:29

High life, all varieties
These times, they're yours and mine
Rich kids, in our suburban dream
We come to life when we kill the lights
High life, in cars and credit cards
New York, we're killing time
She still plays it fucking hard
We come to life when we kill the lights
In the snow, the night, the rain, we’re
Shaking bones and breaking chains
Our eyes don’t grow older
Skin stays in line
Let’s kill the lights, it’s 1999
We ride ex-upper middle class
Don’t we become the night?
We still play it fucking hard
We come to life when we kill the lights
We’re younger than our parents were
From bending space and cheating time
Our eyes don’t grow older
Skin stays in line
Let’s kill the lights, it’s 1999
You taste the same
I taste the same
Frozen into sculpture
Heads melting again
We’re younger than our parents were
From bending space and cheating time
Our eyes don’t grow older
Skin stays in line
Let’s kill the lights, it’s 1999
We’re over this and sick of that
We’re satisfied can’t wait to die
Wrapped in each other
Quietly this time
Let’s close our eyes and
Close the blinds and
Kill the lights it’s 1999

The morning was the worst part of the night that never ends
Annie says her dad’ll get us
Annie that’s a lie, that’s a lie
At school they live to beat us, turning teachers into cops
Unleashed they see our daily bleed is let out
Annie says her dad’ll get us
Annie that’s a lie, that’s a lie
that’s a lie, that’s a lie
Annie that’s a lie, that’s a lie
that’s a lie, that’s a lie
Watch the girls, there’s nothing left to do
Watch the girls, nothing else left to do
Watch the girls, there’s nothing else to do
I’m standing on the corner of Harvard and Comm with a book for the bug
I think this could be anywhere
I’ll watch the girls there’s nothing left to do
Nothing left to do
Just watch the girls

Greasy Mother
04:58

Greasy mother, ghost in the headlights, velvet beast, we are the same
Greasy mother, born in a bag, baptized in sweat, we are
The same, we’re drunk on summer
Drunk on summer, love, and PBR
We are summer and we’re seasonally insane
Cry dear, she’s gone to meet the man again
He’s roasting us all alive
Leave me alone, leave, she’s gone and I am gone
Our hungry eyes eat us alive
Greasy mother, I traced your halo on the bus ride home tonight
Greasy mother, ghost in the headlights makes a toast
Here’s another summer
Here’s a summer cast in old desire
We are summer and we’re seasonally insane
Cry dear, she’s gone to meet the man again
He’s roasting us all alive
Leave me alone, leave, she’s gone and I am gone
Our hungry eyes eat us alive
He’s waiting in the ice, alone with her shadow
Walking where she goes, waiting in the ice
She’s waiting by his side, angelic by design
Angelically aligned, waiting in the ice
Towers grow in stereo
Mushrooms dirge in stereo
Muffled groans in stereo
It’s twenty dollars to New York

Become Invisible
03:45
|
|||
|
We don’t speak no more, don’t eat nothing, we are weightless
No talking anymore, we become all asleep, we will
Jump off the gridlines, run out of time
Become invisible, become invisible
You will still taste the same when you give up your name to be weightless
Then they’ll wrap you in silk, the kind they make out of milk, so you’ll
Roll through your own fire, fly up out of sight
Become invisible, become invisible
Become a waiting room, born again
Become the center aisle, born again
Become the friendly skies, born again
Become the better coast, born again
Become the 405, born again
Become the foaming sun, born again
Become the starry hills, born again
Become the milky way, born again
Become invisible, born again
Become invisible, born again

The Daily Pravda Boston, Massachusetts
Rock music, post everything. Set in Boston and sometimes the West. Q: Glam without the glitter? A: Seventies without the
beards. We play both kinds of music. There's nothing else to do.
Influenced by the New Romantic Post-Punk family tree (Suede, Echo and the Bunnymen, Smiths, Psychedelic Furs), American indie (Pixies, Sunny Day Real Estate), and glam classics like Bowie and Queen.
