End Credits Sequence (DEMO)

With her friends there was hesitation 

Stuck out like a sore thumb

Although I took the invitation 

I didn't know anyone

We've all got an inclination

To take things off the edge

But these kind of situations

Are exactly what I dread


There's a subtle variation 

In the mimosas that I drink

A rebuttal to the occasion 

With elephants turning pink

I'll listen to your snide remarks

Until we get the receipt 

I'll meet you at the sidewalk

With my face to the concrete


Oh God! Oh God! 

Anywhere but here right now

Fill me up with alcohol

So I can be a clown

Sputtering with nonsense 

Stumbling on the ground

I'll happily take the consequence

Not to be around


The life after midnight

Would often times insist

That I come take a flight

To guzzle up like a fish

For an evening vacation

I'm not one to decline

So make me a reservation

For a black out in my mind



Far across the water

Many miles away from home

Bodies made the room hotter

The music became a drone

Then like a vinyl record scratch

My brain went and skipped a beat

Before my memory was patched

I woke up on the street


Oh God! Oh God! 

Anywhere but here right now

Fill me up with alcohol

So I can be a clown

Sputtering with nonsense 

Stumbling on the ground

I'll happily take the consequence

Not to be around


Whatever you take to fuck you up

Will choose when the night ends

Quintuple shots in a big green cup

Is your own bar to tend

Episodes on the television

With whole seasons going by

You wallow in your own decisions

But rather not stay dry


So now you forget what life was like

When innocence was pure

You'll sip it only if spiked

Because it sure seems like a cure

Single parties where you play host

Simply offer no escape

Then give yourself a simple toast

To an inebriated state


Oh God! Oh God! 

Anywhere but here right now

Fill me up with alcohol

So I can be a clown

Sputtering with nonsense 

Stumbling on the ground

I'll happily take the consequence

Not to be around



Varying Mimosas (DEMO)

I ain't no space monk
Or political idealist
To the moon, six ways and drunk
Speaking as a pragmatist 
46 million Bezone cash in my trunk
And 3 million more in my fist
I couldn't really be more upfront
That a life of nitro is hard to resist
There's nothing more I have to hunt
Kind of funny for a protagonist

I call myself Interstellar Skred
Here's my life if you'll listen
Everyone I once knew is dead
So I'm crashing this solar system
The money's probably gone to my head
Yet I still think something's missing
Maybe I'll cash in on shooting stars
So it can keep me wishing

I'm no messiah
Or honor-coded rogue
On drugs to get me higher
The way the galaxy flows
Firing the '65 hard drive
Straight into the cosmos
Man, it feels good to be alive
When space distorts and glows
If a star were to collapse, I'd survive
And see how deep the wormhole goes

I call myself Interstellar Skred
It's a title I've begun to relish
In these past fortnights, I have led
A life that's been embellished
I did it without an ounce of cred
Now my morals swing like tennis
Maybe you'll catch me out on Mars
Backbone addicted and living a fetish

I'm not a space cowboy
So don't call me maurice
I'm programmed like an android
To go out and get my piece
I've stared headlong into the void
But I couldn't care in the least
There's a destiny I'd like to avoid
I'll get to it when I'm deceased
Until then, it's spaceships, ahoy
Accelerators running and the engines greased

I call myself Interstellar Skred
And I'm lost in a distortion 
I think I've said what needs to be said
Now that I've taken my portion
Could there have been a turn instead
That didn't leave me in a contortion
There's a limit to living large
The death of me could very well be my fortune

I shot Avalon down (x4)

She was a comedic mistress
Whose bite was vicious
Thinking she could avoid the ground
She’d call up the sun
Promise some fun
Then break it with a crashing sound

I shot Avalon down (x2)

Her tropical shirt
Fools you of her hurt
As she plays you like a playground
She’d roll you with the stones
To break up your bones
Leave you a treat for the hounds

I shot Avalon down (x2)

Her vile contempt
May have paid the rent
But nobody wanted it around
Now the heavens see
Her misery
While she’s walking downtown 

Why I shot Avalon down (x2)

That golden hair
May have seemed fair
Making fools by the pound
As she would imitate
A consummate 
Leaving them feeling like a clown

And there’s a lingering sorrow
That’ll be gone by tomorrow
Buried by her crown
I guess it’s true what they say
Every dog has its day
But all are homeward bound

That’s why I shot Avalon down (x2)
Ain’t nobody going to wear a frown
Now that I shot Avalon down

Avalon (Shot Down) (DEMO)

Rock and roll cat
Lazy and fat
Nobody finds him amusing
Plays sloppy guitar
Hopes to get him far
Once he quits the boozing

Without a job
Living a slob
But he’s still surviving 
It's coming to him
And until then
In the deep end he’s diving

Rock and roll cat
Best watch out for dogs
They’re snapping right at your tail
Rock and roll cat
Better land on your feet
You can’t set out to fail

To ladies he’s rough
He’s got the right stuff
To hold a stand for a night
Sprawled in the yard
He parties too hard
Mind higher than a kite

He’s convinced
It’s common sense
You can freeload to the top
Because with luck
He’ll make it up
To everyone including the cops

Rock and roll cat
Best catch some mice
They’re running before your eyes
Rock and roll cat
Prepare for a storm
Don't let it be a surprise

They say a cat lives nine lives
But those can still be nine lives of shit
And when they’ve been exhausted
It’s not going to be fantastic
To look back on wasted potential
And all the nothing you did

Rock and roll cat
Best get off the couch
You don’t have any pizzazz
Rock and roll cat
Better slink out the door
Come back when you’re into jazz


Rock & Roll Cat

Breaking my back and breaking my psyche
Doing that job no one wanted to do
I've stood in place and I've smiled politely
But the pay won't cover the holes in my shoes
Saying I'm burnt out is putting it lightly
My benefits are free doughnuts and a bottle of booze

You'd be naive 
To think this generation
Is a cheap imitation
Of what you see on Dr. Phil
I believe that
The real frustration 
Is the binding situation
Where you work to be killed

So I put in my two weeks resignation
In the form of subtle snide two-word goodbye
Walked right past the line of inpatients
Who still were convinced the customer's right
Stepped outside and felt the sensation
That this wasn't going to be where I died

I'm keeping it loose
I've got more in me
To have my energy
Fill up the bossman's bottom line
Tell you the truth
I've made some enemies
They probably envy
That I could even resign

With enough pressure, something will give way
Just like that, you get to move on
I'm no longer thanking God that it's Friday
I've got as many hours as the day is long
I'm looking over the crest of the highway
I'll be riding out into the distance at dawn

Three hundred miles and 
Into the sunset
Don't have any regrets
Money rolls in like the tide
I'll get mine when I can
Or just forget
Because my greatest asset
Is the freedom to ride
