Run but you cannot hide
feel your pulse inside my vision
Your blood is on my mind
It really wasn't my decision
Somebody has to go
I was built for speed
Remember when we danced so low
Now all we do is bleed
Chorus
Ooh it's creeping over you
It's taboo
Ooh it's creeping over you
and over me too
Can you feel the beat
Threatening to burn this place down
I'm drowning in the heat
Transfixed by this addiction
Nobody has to know
Your cypher is safe with me
Just hold on and don't let go
We're going in deep
Chorus
It's creeping over you

You cry a tear for the cigarettes you never smoked
Send em off to bed with a little lie, a lullaby
And when he asks you why you're so cold, you're somewhere else
you tell him cul-de-sac is French for Dead End
Oh
Chase the sidewalks up and down
Are they watching? Are they seething?
Another pill to take you down
Count the cobwebs on the ceiling
Two cocktail lunch and a benzodiazepine
Quell the Stepford Wives with a little grin, a counterfeit
And when they ask you why you're so bold, you're someone else
You sink into the bath and swallow your goodbye
Oh
Chase the sidewalks up and down
Are they watching? Are they seething?
Another pill to take you down
Watch the shadows on the ceiling

She drives like she's running from something
Her heart goes from parked to 100
It rattles and it shakes but she'll never hit the brakes
She drives, she drives like she's running
Lights, red and white in the dark
This time, she knows everything's wrong
This fight felt like the end of a song
This time she won't drag it on, she's gotta cut and run
She drives like she's running from something
Her heart goes from parked to 100
She kills what she loves but she'll never get enough
She drives, she drives, like she's running

I've been reading your horoscope lately
Ive been checking yesterday's news
Picking up clues and searching for answers
The code won't crack before I do
Do you believe in broken window theory?
My chipped nails give away my story
Chorus
I've diagnosed the problem
I can't cut it out
Do you really think I can do this by myself?
I've been snooping around in your closet
I've been scoping all your old haunts
Uncrumpling notes I found in your pocket
Tying and trying all my old knots
Do you believe that we can change our story?
All I wanted was to be there for you
I'm drifting to sea
I did it to myself, I know it's true
I was spinning in your arms
And now we're just sinking
Chorus

I Fall

Missed the first bus
maybe I’ll catch the last
make my way downtown
see your face in the plate glass
miles from home but I’m not lost yet
buying postcards you know that I’ll never send
Torn apart I’ve still got my pride
Chorus
Reach up, call out but I fall, I fall
You stay, I lean out and I fall, I fall
I wanna be back in love
find a way to just climb back up
But I fall, I fall
Missed the first stop
Couldn't quite face the past
Put my phone on mute
Ignore the tourists that I can’t stand
Keep thinking bout the night we met
The song you played or me on that old cassette
Move my feet but my heart is still on the line
Chorus
I wanna be back in love

Are you prepared for just how good your life is gonna be
Chorus
Five easy payments of $19.99
Limited time offer, be the caller on the line
We're standing by the phones, aren't you ready to be more
Systems upgrade in store when you click and act now
Can't you see yourself, faster, stronger, more agility
And don't you hate yourself for every flaw and insecurity
Chorus

And are you prepared for just how good your life is gonna be

Lost Cause

You can't fake yourself happy
But you can hate yourself thin
And I guess that's good enough for him
You never liked him anyways
Isn't that the way it always goes
Your life could have been so much bigger
With Marco or Mohawk Paul
Now the baby's crying
You're crying for your mom
Everybody's leaving
The winter lingers on
And here you stand, a lost cause
A lost cause
Well you can't make the world love you
But you can nurse a memory
And I guess that's why you drink
For your star died long ago
But the heart it wanders on
All you need is one hit single
The perfect summer song
Now this empty barroom
becomes your prison walls
Time slips through your fingers
Tomorrow marches on
And here you sit a lost cause
A lost cause
You can make it if you try

You go to work on time and you visit the dentist
You gotta wait in line with the miserable masses
Just counting down the wire till your moment of zen, yeah
Oh, it feels so good
But when you're off the clock it's another disaster
The pipe is all you got, no you've never been higher
Just gotta quell the thoughts, scrape the bowl in the gutter
Oh, it's no good
You're in a depression, oh yeah
Now you're on a mission, oh yeah
You gotta get inside of your head
And work it out
Chorus
California sober
Your brain an ember
Stuck like this forever
California
California
Gotta work it out
Work it out now
You wear the khaki slacks
And you don't ask for answers
Acid melts the gray of your cubicle madness
Your brain is melting down now you're about to go under
Oh, it's so good
The voices were your friends
Now they're screaming in protest
They always said that life was a matter of context
Just gotta soothe your head
Sleep it off in the rat's nest
Oh, it's no good
You're in a depression, oh yeah
Now you're on a mission, oh yeah
You gotta get inside of your head
And work it out
Chorus
California sober
Your brain an ember
More than a stoner
California, California

(Cover Song, The Shivvers)
You would never believe when I say it's only right
And when I tell you my world spins around for you
Just like I told you, once we go up, never come down
Chorus
No substitute, they'll be no one
'Cause there's no one like you under the sun
And I'll keep on waiting till you'll be my one
You'll be my one now
No substitute
You'll be my one now
I try to show all my love and it's so hard
When I show you how strong this love can be
Just like I told you
Once we go up, never come down
Chorus
Now, it's all up to you, don't wait too long
This love's so strong
Someday you'll tell me this love spins around you
Someday you'll show me
Once we come up never come down
Chorus

Terminally aimless
Trying on a new face and a new game
I wanted to be famous but only in the way I'd never be named
In the chatroom now
No one would find out
Chorus
I wanna run I wanna hide
I wanna show what's deep inside
Gotta try on another life
Overexposed
In my profile I'm the princess
Underneath the mask its pimple and warts
You'll never see my braces
A shy coy smile that's more of a smirk
Come on join the faceless
We can still pretend like we're gonna meet
At the foot court by the Payless
Lickin Dippin Dots while you're kissing my cheek
Here behind the screen bravely tapping keys
I wanna run I wanna hide
I wanna show what's deep inside
I wanna share I wanna lie
I gotta try on a different life
I wanted to famous

Hayley and the Crushers Detroit, Michigan
One part pop, one part poison, all “poolside glitter punk,” Hayley and the Crushers are a tsunami of bold, bad girl power. Anointed as “the naked embodiment of power pop punk” by New Wave icon Josie Cotton, the Crushers have skipped the pupa stage in favor of a more dramatic comic book-style metamorphosis. Enter: Modern Adult Kicks (9/13/22), their most ambitious and self-possessed album to date. ... more

What can I say about my new favorite band except that every track is a gem. This EP is no exception. It's music that takes me back to classic punk pop from the late 1970's and early 80's. I love this stuff and can't wait for more.
