 i was in the coven when the coven was evil
i was in the garden when your guardian came
i was in love with having food on the table
i'm the one who saw you through your window pane
i was in the cave 
shedding my mane
i guess i missed some things
every other day, feeling this way
you start to go insane

i was in the coven when the coven was evil
when you gonna take me home?
i was in love with having food on the table
when you gonna take me home?
i was in the cave, shedding my mane
i guess i missed some things
every other day
feeling this way
you start to go insane

i was in the coven when the coven was evil
you're a late comer to the game
notice how nobody knows your christian name
i was in the coven when the coven was evil
kyrie eleison, christe eleison

i was in the cave shedding my mane
i guess i missed some things
every other day, feeling this way
start to go insane

so long, won't see you later.

we never tried 
to save anybody but ourselves
we shut our eyes
and agreed just to be personnel

i live alone
its the only thing i can control
where were you 
when those planes made us trade 
in our souls
i stopped caring a long time ago

kyrie, eleison
christe, eleison
kyrie, eleison
christe, eleison

Personnel

Cruisin'

My self disgust is legendary
On the real
It's no good
I do not know
If I'll get married
To a girl from the hood


What do I 
Do I do?


I don't know why I went to college
All I did was think of you
I've got no friends
Got no money
Why would I think to move?


Josh's Song

Who taught you to cover up your scars?
Who gave all these transvestites guitars?
Boys float by face down in swimming pools
Girls float by face down trying to be cool


Working girls impervious to pain
Watch their faces wash off in the rain
Call your friends all over to get high
Tell your kids you're sorry before they die


It's not who but what you know
Hearts get broke where ever we go
Who told you you had to run?
Slow down it's a marathon

Crokay

You walk away
Then you turn around and walk on back to me
You took the fall
While you were falling you were laughing all the way
You took my life force
Time time ticking till a quarter to four
I'll end it all if you stay gone


You needed more
I didn't have much inside of me to give
You tried to wait
But I ain't never gonna change the way I live
You took my life force
Time time ticking till a quarter to four
I'll end it all because I can


So there you go
You got away from everyone you love the most


Young ghosts in every house
Cursed words trapped in your mouth
Free sex in the city tonight
Free sex in the city tonight

Giallo

We come alone and then we leave alone


We eat alone
Wait in the back seat
We gotta keep our faces out of magazines
We are the big dogs
We are the right ones
We dream the big dreams
We beat the big drums


We come alone and then we leave alone


The darkest dreams
They come to me
In 1's and 2's and 3's


We own the lighthouse
We saw the storm come
We saw the clouds form out on the horizon
I got a red phone
I hope it don't ring
We stole a hundred billion barrels full of gasoline


We come alone and then we leave alone


The darkest dreams
They come to me
In 1's and 2's and 3's

Darkest Dreams

Come on all you musclemen
You lady boys, you thieves
All you wack magicians with the rubies in your teeth
Gather up the pimps
The politicians and the priests
Make your way to the gallows
 
All you seasick ladies with your burgundy corvettes
Harboring the man who laid his hands upon my head
Hold him down and burn his eyelids
With a cigarette
let's see what we can get him to 
Confess to
 
Oh, the glory of it all
 
Autumn winds have blown a scrim of leaves into your pool
We woke up one day and found 
The girls were gone from school
But you were never going to convince them you were cool
So go on home and strap on your explosive
 
Oh the glory of it all

Oh, The Glory of it All


It was supposed to be fun but
I didn't care
You said you told everyone but
I didn't hear


And if you never needed me
If you found you a good man
If you never needed me
I understand


I can't explain
But I know it when I see it


And if you never needed me
If you found you a good man
If you're needing your freedom
Wave me off with your good hand
But if you ever get lonely
You know where I am
But if you think you're done with me
I understand


I can't explain
But I know it when I see it

New Love

Dark circles underneath your eyes
Don't go outside
Solo performance at two in the morning
Stay out of sight
Hikikomori


Dark patches all throughout your life
Don't even try
Born in November you'll always remember
Three guesses why
Hikikomori

Hikikomori

You used to look so good above me 
I used to watch you from below
You used to tell everybody you loved me
When they say why say I don't know
You used to look so good with your red dress on
I used to like it 
Ah ha ha ha ha
You used to dance snap your fingers 
Girl your fingers were long
You couldn't hide it
Not from anyone


You were a convert 
With the world up your sleeves
You used to dance for your mother
Dancing for you father in the parlor
Where the ladies belong 
You used to do what you wanna do


You used to move through a party like a low down swan
I used to like it
Now you're too far gone
You were a cloud in the water till you read your Koran 
But I don't buy it, oh no
You were a convert 
With the world up your sleeves
You used to dance for your mother
Dancing for you father in the parlor
Where the ladies belong 
You used to do what you wanna do
Like a cloud in the water


You used to look so good above me 
I used to watch you from below
You used to tell everybody you loved me
When they say why say I don't know
You used to look so good with your red dress on
I used to like it 
Ah ha ha ha ha
You used to dance snap your fingers 
Now your fingers are gone
You couldn't hide it
Not from anyone


You were a convert 
With the world up your sleeves
You used to dance for your mother
Dancing for you father in the parlor
Where the ladies belong 
You used to do what you wanna do
Like a cloud in the water


Cloud in the Water

Weak in the knees
Sleeping in silence away from the sunshine
Call the police
Somebody somewhere is having a good time
And I wonder why can't I
Cuz I'm running out of time
But I'm gonna try


I'll get ahold of you if ever I get better
I'd like to see you when I'm not under the weather
Maybe we could get together
Tell me if you get this letter


We waste our days
We fall in line
We go to school
We lose our minds
We go get jobs
We live our lives
And if our hearts should break
If its more than you can take
Carry your feelings deep inside


I'll get ahold of you if ever I get better
I'd like to see you when I'm not under the weather
Maybe we could get together
Tell me if you get this letter


The Letter

Aloha Tigers are a dream pop duo from Blooomington, IL consisting of singer/multi-intrumentalist Nick Aister and producer Michael Wharfield, who have just completed their first, self titled LP. Their sound is sad, hazy, hypnotic and blissed out, combining shoegaze , R&B, piano ballads, and classic pop hooks, with a heavy emphasis on dark, literate, and emotionally complex lyrics. Aloha Tigers' early exposure has been overwhelmingly positive, including being singled out for Song of the Day on the Line of Best Fit with an early version of the album track "Oh, The Glory of It All", and a recent post at newdust.com, who showered their praises on "Coven" and "Nice White People", two B-sides from the upcoming album. They are currently looking to secure label representation and distribution for their forthcoming self titled LP.
