2001 demo from their final album "Beachgoer" released in 2002, following the death of their drummer, Steve

Blind (demo)

Bonus track from their 1991 album "It Comes and Goes"

Death of Pride [Live in Springfield MO, 1992]

The outro/title track to their 2002 album Beachgoer. Many believe that this is the last song venturing made before disbanding.

I won it all back, I get the prize in an instant
I take the poison, an instinct
I fall in love, I fall in love
I fall in love, I fall in love
I fall in love, I fall in love

I won it all back, I get the prize in an instant
I take the poison, an instinct
I fall in love

When the sun doesn't cut it, who will?
When the sun doesn't love
I saved you a seat, right by the beach next to me

Beachgoer (I Fall in Love)

from "Demos for Me" 1990

I put on my makeup, tie my hair
Oh, it was selfish of me
To think I had a chance

I hang myself from the highest tree
Just so everyone can know I had a chance

(605) 114-1010 (demo)

Track from their album Beachgoer. The file this was sent to me under was named "04_08_2001.wav." I presume this is when they recorded it. An image of the newspaper headline for Steve's death was also linked.

Hey, why do you wanna know so much?
About me? I'm just like you, except I want
And got to be

And why do you wanna know so much about me?
I'm not that special, promise, you
I'm not the special

Hey, why do you wanna know so much?
About me? I'm just like you, except I lost
Hold myself, not to be

And why do you wanna know so much about me?
I'm not that special, promise, you
I'm not that special

Daisy’s at work, I’ve studied the male anatomy and now Stephen Dales is dead

Sorry I was gone for a bit!! I recently picked up a job at the local Sprouts for some summer money. I haven't been able to be online as much as I'd like to, but just the other day I was sent this by one of you guys!! Here are the lyrics (Or what I think the lyrics are)  -Violet

I'm not running away this time
You can pick a day and I'll call you mine
I'm so tired of waiting
If you say that we're dating (If you say that I'm crazy)
You can pick a day and I'll call you

Yearn the Day Away

Aberdeen Dream Sequence

Dropout Season (demo)

Quit wasting your time looking for somebody else when she's right there
Boy, when I'm gone, you'll think about me all the time, I know
Keys locked in the car, pictures of David Ortiz on the wall

And I came to watch my husband play, now I'm playing a dangerous game

Good luck trying to catch me if you're still gonna talk to me like I'm seventeen
No more, he fucks like he wants me
Left cuts on the side of his face with the rest of me

David Ortiz Pillbox

Hair in your face, boys in your phone
And you say they all look just like me?

Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair

Got nothing to do, spent my birthday on gas
Had nothing to eat so I put it in the past

Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair

Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair
Stop reading the newspaper and dye your hair

Sweet / Dye

Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever

Got ten dollars ripped up in the sand, my sister's wedding gown, and that fake television band that's north of Watertown
Buying those cigarettes you like when you're not around
And I smoke them all over my clothes

I'm pretending that you're still my friend
I didn't fuck it up but I'm sorry often
I'm the reason you're not talking
I bite down, I bite hard, but it's not enough
No, it's too much

Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever

For Miles

Oh, I see everything, they tried to take him
Something that's not yours
Peeling a tangerine - flash bang
Pretend world turns on me, the real world turns on me

The people take my heart out and it's not my story anymore, it's not my story anymore
'Cause people take everything
Even the one you love

In my dreams I see you leaving
The world will open up for me

No Control

But we both know - if I could make it back, I'd do it in a heartbeat
But we both know - I don't have a job, I don't have the money

(It was either pay you now or owe you later, I guess money never meant that much to you)

I'm at your bedroom door - I just wanna talk, I don't wanna suck your dick tonight
I'm at your bedroom door - we can talk it out like we did when you were 29
And I was...
And I was...
And I was...

I want your money. I want your money. I want your money.
I want your money. I want your money. I want your money.
I want your money. I want your money. I want your money.
I want your money. I want your money. I want your money.
I want your money. I want your money.

Stand Up Donor

I wiped out the city in time so we could spend the day
You should know you're playing a dangerous game

He said that, out of all the girls, that I'm his favorite
And he knows that - I can never tell when he's lying or telling the truth

He pats me on the back but I wish he was touching something else
The bed was big enough but he's sleeping with somebody else
In my dream, we bought every house 'til the city was ours
And the stars wrote our names while we slept on the yard

And the stains on my jeans as you leave me in the dark
Just tell me what to change

And all the things you said to me - at sunrise, were they true?

He said that, out of all the girls, that I'm his favorite
And he knows that - I can never tell when he's lying or telling the truth
In my dream, we bought every house 'til the city was ours
And the stars wrote our names while we slept on the yard

And the stains on my jeans as you leave me in the dark
Just tell me what to change

Vulture City

Even when they lie, I love my friends ('Cause I know they have to)
Even when they leave, I love my friends ('Cause I know they have to)
Even when they forget, I love my friends ('Cause I know they have to)
Even when they neglect, I love my friends ('Cause I know they have to)

He gave me hope, I fell in love (And I thought I was the only one)
I wiped my tears and drank the blood (And I thought I was the only one)
The summer's brutal in Arizona (And I thought I was the only one)
I'm fine with burning as long as I got to know you (And I thought I was the only one)

I Love My Friends

Rolling on broken plates, who the hell do you think I am?
I let you fly the plane, who the hell do you think I am?
In a breath of fresh air, who the hell do you think I am?
And I step off the mat, who the hell...

Drinking, cream soda on the balcony
Imagine a life with no atrophy

'Cause that's how I feel
It's the cards that you deal
Don't you know you control my life?
Oh, I can't sabotage

Drinking, cream soda on the balcony
Imagine a life with no atrophy
All I want to be is around, stick around...

Cream Soda

I found myself the only girl in town
The only one who's willing to take you in
There's ash in the air, raining money everywhere
You take my keys and we go for a spin

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can make me feel okay"
Everytime I drink I have too much too fast
Tonight I booked a hotel room a hundred miles away from everything
Out of fear I might've sent him to the past

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can make me feel alive"
Everytime I drink I have too much too fast
Last night I had a dream he left me half asleep and drunk behind the wheel
On the way back home, I miss a turn and crash

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

The wings that let me fly don't seem to work
The things that bring me joy drive me to tears
The things that made my world can't be reversed
The day I'm out of work and out of peers

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can bring me back to life"
I'd do anything to feel it for the first time
And I feel like the angels pulled a joke on me
They laugh and turn their backs
They leave the club and set the place on fire
I couldn't make it out there fast enough
The girls, they tell me I'm all out of love

Sister

Ghosts follow us around
Dressing up as each other
Turn me, bloodsucker
But I’m not so sure now
Float back to their graves
We drink, then we drive
Promise I’ll pay you back
We fall asleep in front
