Going Out Like That

I was down in center city
I guess it was it was more a town
People here spin round and round and around
they keep the kids quiet and keep their watches wound

I was down there at center city
that’s where the wind only blows on sunday
it’s where the spirit is the same
as the spirit there and the spirit here before
And hope was buried in the mud and clay

I’m wearing tomorrows coat
and tomorrows boots today
I’m looking for some new hope 
to wash the old hopes away 
Im wearing all this neon to illuminate the pain 
its nothing short of another bad luck day

I’ve never been much of the gamblin type
But i sure know how to gamble away compromise
The last bet i made it was a sure thing
I surely ended up, on a string

The sun goes down here just like everywhere
The sun goes down in spite of my needs 
I placed a bet on this thing they call morning
Its pretty much just like betting on winning

I’m wearing tomorrows coat
and tomorrows boots today
I’m looking for some new hope 
to wash the old hopes away
Im wearing all this neon to illuminate the pain 
its nothing short of another bad luck day

Road Dogs - Epilogue (Behind the Wheel Remix)

The lightning took us by surprise
As we travelled the roads From hell to paradise
It was cold that night

The sun closed down about an hour ago
Only creatures let us know we weren’t alone
We kept along

Get lost they said
Get lost we did
Always said it was what wed do
No plan, some cash and a few hundred miles
Or a thousand

The sun opened back up and welcomed us in the moon was still in the sky
The cool melted away

The body next to me was barely awake
You could smell the air
We kept along

Get lost they said
Get lost we did
Always said it was what wed do
No plan, some cash and a few hundred miles
Or a thousand

Oh get lost they said
Get lost we did

The months went by
Penniless and broke
Nothing ahead but the coast
It was warm all the time

I didn’t matter that we had no plan
You could feel the promise
we kept along

A Few Hundred Miles

You Bother No One

Like dealers wait for losers
Like losers wait for breaks
Like preachers wait for 
God fearing sinners running from them snakes

Like dogs wait for masters
a moth waits for the flame

Ill wait for you and you’ll come in the end

Like David waits for taxis 
and Barbara waits for dave
Like standing in a hotel room 
wating on housekeeping 

Like spring waits for summer 
and summer starts too late

I’ll wait and you’ll call in the end 

I see you staring at me 
From a million miles away
I know down in my soul
That all I have to do is wait

    go
Like drivers wait for red lights,
people, trains, cows and sheep
Like good time boys and girls wait
for neon open lights blink

Like god waits for prayers and
the reckoning days 

I’ll wait and you’ll call in the end.

I see you staring at me 
From a million miles away
I know down in my soul
That all I have to do is wait

La Espera

Dynaflo started as front man (myself) Aaron Schaut in the late 1998 as Blue Max. Experimenting with various instruments  and digital recording processes after a history of punk rock (Ramones, The Clash, Black Flag) and rock n' roll (Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Alice Cooper, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Reverend Horton Heat) influences, I started to really get into acts like Tom Waits, Chuck E. Weiss, Leonard Cohen, Meat Puppets and John Lurie. All of these influences combed and started me down a strange path of Blues, Americana, Rock n Roll and Rock with a little bit of punk rock mixed in. During the latter part of the early 2000's I had written a song called Battery Operated Heart which caught the ear of author and comic book genius Warren Ellis. This gave me some credibility and a little bid of notoriety. During this time I also go into acts like Pixies, Arizona Amp and Alternator, Howe Gelb, Joe Peña, Gabriel Sullivan and Calexico and fell love with what appears to be a whole Tucson desert rock thing. I don't feel like all of these are a far cry from one another. It all shares a similar base. In the end, I'm making music I love to make and am not worried about how it fits into a scene. We've been compared to stuff like Silver Jews, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and even Marty Robbins. All of this is fine with me. Hell, most of what we've been compared to I would call a hell-uv-a compliment.
