Stuck in a canoe
We're only waiting for the sunrise
Some tides feel nice
We'II be okay
If I were you
I wouldn't mess with us it's unwise
Akina speed stars in Japanese cars
We relocate

When I drive in your tiny town
Baby singing for miles around
I'm anchored to clouds 
I crash and I bounce
fuckin crazy

my shadow is almost here
Shoot ya into last year
Lose ya in the first gear
maybe you should move it

A moto for you
We're only waiting for the sunrise
Means we drive all night
So we sleep all day
I guess If you
like what I'm saying
We're mobbing I-9
Like all of the time
Slide today or tomorrow?

I said all I feel like I need to say
Too slow should let go you can't come my way
Beams glow in my rearview that's where they stay
If anyone wants to
Anyone wants to

I don't mean to fuck up the atmosphere
I'm mean and I'm stuck up cause you're not here
My screws they get undone
been looking for some fun

Japanese Cars

I re-used some melodies from this demo on japanese cars so if it sounds similar, that's why

no darkness no light
so fear not the night
my doll please don't cry
adult lullabies 
I'm sad when with you
I feel beyond blue
what else there to do
over and through

Violet (demo)

(ps, I realized a year after making the song the chords in the end are super close to "who's that chick" by David Guetta. So umm, do whatever you want with that information)

we could do whatever you want to
promised girl I've loved you since high school
used to tell my friends all about you
if you say so / a few say so

hell or well still promise to be there
couple flights could meet you anywhere
catching light, the true love that we share
like i told you

(i don't need it all)
don't kiss and tell please keep it a secret
(so don't come ahead i'll jump back down)
can we keep them sealed with no regret
(i don't want anyone)
making friends my foes if they want you
(i wanna take a couple rounds)
i can't trust them not how i trust you
(i don't need it all)
thursday you be late that spells TR.u.b.l
(i don't want a life like that)
once they turn away that's not subtle
(i feel like an animal)
you could have it if you could keep it
(like an animal)
i would warn you but hadn't seen it yet

tell me lies a couple disguises I know you
you know I watch you / want you
i say something wrong
you laugh all alone
and sleep on your phone
i gave it my all
and i dont like this life
i don't like this song

you keep stepping in my dreams baby I don't like it
always pulling on my seams like I'm double sided
if i've got so many friends yeah go and find them
am I just your means to ends guess i'm not kind then, i'm biting

who said she's pretty baby I don't like her
want your infinity unlike buzz lightyear
bring something warm before you get too close
i'll pick you up and we can head to the coast

shallow minds sink in the deep end
swallow fright you speak and it deepens

i'll push you far cause I hold you close
bounce off a prism and around we go

i feel just like a fish
i'll bite and i'm the dish
the moment you pull back
that's what hooks me in

i'll fly my way around
just looking for new sounds
aim for your stereo
for your car radio

don't pull back, that's what gets me
so-oh 
that's what gets me
keeping us afloat
over underworld
on a paddle boat
still you wan't a jet ski
oh-oh
that's what-

Wouldn't It Be So Weird

I've been hoarding these tracks for a while, but I think it's time I upload them for others to check out. I might at some point rework them a little and re-upload / do a real launch but for now here is "eepy".

Sample from The Computer Chronicles (1986)

Sample: “How do you see computers and music meshing, I mean how did you get involved in this kind of position?”
Face felt so numb
Head felt so wrong
Brains leaking out
Pink zeros and ones
I made a cure
You felt who you were
And now you're aware
You're facing the glow
Where you won't go
You'll never know 
You can’t be knowing
What you've never seen
But baby I've been there
All the way to neon city
Violet lights pixel graffiti
You keep in proximity
It just looked so fucking pretty
These digital nights
These mystical lights
I'll never forget, I'll never reset
Held both of my hands
Just like we were friends
At least I won't freeze cause you keep me warm
far east from the storm

I would've given anything, 
Anything at all
Even though I wont get to sing
At least I got the call
And you said perplexing me 
“at least you had some fun”
don’t care you care for me
It’s nothing I’d condone
So baby won’t you come on down
Where ya think you’re going out
Where ya think you’re going now 
Baby won’t you come on down
Where you going out?
Sample: “I think computers are a way people can be introduced to music”

Cause I can’t get no chances unless he’s dancing with me
Making me feel crazy talking about who I’ll be
Yeah 
You’re getting excited
I feel it they want me
You’re driving me crazy
I won’t get no dances unless she’s talking to me
Making me feel crazy always scoffing at me
I can’t see your motives till you’re killing me
I can’t feel your motions 
I don’t feel emotions
I can’t be so hopeless
Just wanna get noticed
Tell me where you enlist
He’re my magnum opus
Yeah I really wanna be in the city lights
Darling turn around you gotta think twice
Sample: “And with this program what we tried to do is allows someone who doesn’t know anything about music to be able to fool around with music that is already out there or create his own, and to be able to do that just with a joystick”

Lyrics

"can you press 3?"
"oh, cool that's where I'm going"
".... crazy weather we're having"
"yup."

trying on all of my ties
i know i'll see you later
i wanna catch those eyes

and if you look at me the right way
maybe i'll give you a call
baby i'll risk it all

whether it's in my cubicle
or in the elevator
when you look at me and say
"did you get the memo baby?"

are you pickin up what i'm puttin down
are you puttin down what i'm pickin up
(I don’t know)
are you pickin up what i'm puttin down
(What you want from mee)
are you puttin down what i'm pickin up
do you recognize what I’m dreaming of 
(You don't really know me)
do you think I’m gonna need it written up
(You only know what you see)
do you realize the emotions in my eyes
i'm feeling paralyzed fucked up and hypnotized 
by you

Yeah, I know 
you've got things to do
i shouldn't dream of you

Dialogue: 
"did you get the memo yet?"
"i haven't checked yet"

I’m flying to a new location 
baby la no vacay hitting station to station
on workday safari and honey I'm sorry 
i'm on my way back you got me in a hurry

and every time you look away
i just want you to know 
that i want you to stay

i want you in my cubicle 
or in the elevator
won’t you grab me by my tie

i just want you n me alone

(Ohohohooh)
are you pickin up what i'm puttin down
(When we're alone)
are you puttin down what i'm pickin up
(Ohohohooh)
are you pickin up what i'm puttin down
(When we're alone)
are you puttin down what i'm pickin up
(When are you gonna take me home?)
lemme summarize we should drink it up
i think I recognize what you're dreaming of
(When are you gonna let me go)
will you compromise the notions of our ties
i got you hypnotized looking into my eyes

You know, I’ve got things to do

But for you it’s only a few

you know x3

Elevator Song

Elevator Song (ft. Childhood Keepsake)

coping waiting for a late night
she hates me cause I don't play-write
I hate you cause you won't say you mine/mind

I'm waiting at the place I saw you
looking but I don't see you
where could you have gone

didn't think about it now
I'll really think about it later
I think I'll think about it later I guess x2

how are you okay
you didn't wanna arrive
but now you wanna stay

doll are you okay
you didn't wanna arrive
but now you wanna stay

rolling waving on a skate park
I'll be here without you baby
skating in the dark

hold me deep into a midnight
hit me if I don't play-write
she hates it when I don't say it's alright

we'll be waiting for the sunrise 
moment shine - the time flies
when you're having good times with me
and we're together, stay with me forever
I'm naked without you baby
I'll make it without you maybe if I have to

take me to the beach
i wanna see you
in a bikini

lets go to some place
i wanna know
you're alright

we can watch the waves
i can get you high
we can watch the stars
in the sky

if i go there i wanna know
i took advantage of our time
we lived it up, i'm here with you
that's all i want
εισαι all i want
that's all i want

if anyone who ever kisses you forgets you
(i just dont need you)(better alone)
you can always come and sit here by my side

you know I'm always down to hold you and protect you
(don't wanna please you)(i just want a dance)
and don't wonder baby cause i don't know why
anyone would want you gone
guess they must got something wrong
i count the time when i'm alone ooh

baby someday maybe tomorrow
save me from my pain and my sorrow
take me baby i wanna go
"tell me something i don't know"

take me to the beach
i wanna go
play in the sand

lets got to some place 
i wanna see you
wearing a smile

we can watch the waves
we can share some wine
were gonna wanna stay a while
looking up at the sky

if i die today
if you went  away
at least i got to meet you first
and live like we're going away

if anybody wants to fuck you and forget you
and nobody wants to sit there by your side
if anybody wants to hate you and regret you
and nobody wants to be there by your side

my babygirl is signing along in the summer
summer starts tonight
i hold your body - want your heart
