Ode To A 1989 Volvo Station Wagon

I wanna be an escalator 
I wanna take you higher 
higher than you’ve ever been before 

I wanna be an escalator 
I’ll take you to a whole new level 
like the moon or the rings of saturn 

we can go underground 
or up into the air 
an escalator never breaks down 
it just turns to stairs 

I am weird 
so are you 
we were born to be different from the rest of the world 
we’re riding 
I am weird 
so are you 
we were born to be different from the rest of the world 
and we’re riding riding riding high 

I wanna wrestle alligators 
and yank out all their teeth 
and teach ‘em to drink milkshakes 

so let me be your escalator 
at least metaphorically 
cause I know I can motivate you

All songs written and composed by James Hunter.

Recorded in various places in Atlanta, GA during the summer of 2014 ("Escalator") and throughout 2015 (the rest)
Produced and engineered by Noah Kess and Cody Sciara.

James Hunter USA - Escalator

Flipping through yellowed notebooks and faded dreams 
I should have known it wouldn’t work out 
ohh into the fire 
throw these old notebooks into the fire (woo) 

I can feel everybody laugh at me 
I can’t stop touching that hot stove 
ohh into the fire 
throw these old hard drives into the fire (woo) 

All these stupid fucking words and melodies 
dance around inside my head and torture me 
and I am never free 
ohh into the fire 
throw this old love into the fire 
throw everything into the fire 

For sale: a bunch of old equipment I used to love 
I can’t even look at it anymore 
ohh send your best offer 
everything must go, everything must go (woo) 

I used to be ambitious, I wanted everything 
now it seems that all I want is normalcy 
but that can never be 

I'm gonna walk into the fire 
dive headfirst into the fire 
throw my life into the fire 
fire 

I can’t stop touching that hot stove

James Hunter USA - Into The Fire

Built a fortress in my house 
It will keep us warm 
we’ll stomp and shout and chase away the storm 
take my hand, come inside 

you can hide behind my couch 
I will keep you safe 
we’ll light some candles, talk about our lives 
take my hand, come inside 

I don’t care much for this revolution 
but there’s no war in here 
so come on in and have a beer 
and we’ll wait it out 

I’ve got lots of books to read 
and plenty board games too 
and an old guitar with lots of extra strings 
will you sing, sing with me? 

I’ve got supplies to last a year 
I hope it don’t take that long 
and I need someone to help me stay strong 
to keep me sane 
to help me hold on 

I don’t care much for this revolution 
but there’s no war in here 
so come on in and have a beer 
and we’ll wait it out 

they will say 
“you’re either on our side or we will knock you down” 
but I won’t budge 
we’re gonna find some common ground and build from there 

I’ve got water for a long time 
I’ve got food for a long time 
I’ve got beer for a long time 
I need you for a long time 
and maybe 
in a year or so 
things will be better 

I’ve got water for a long time 
I’ve got food for a long time 
I’ve got beer for a long time 
I need you for a long time 
and maybe 
in ten years or so 
things will be better 

I don’t care much for this revolution 
but there’s no war in here 
so come on in and have no fear 
cause if we all run out of beer 
I’ve got a little whiskey here 

and we’ll wait it out

James Hunter USA - Fortress

You need gold in bullion 
and a big old church to be holy in 
a fleet of cars to ride in 
and a great big house just to hide in 

wanting, needing 
having, taking, 
promising and breaking 

you need people to manipulate 
you need people to manipulate 
you need people to manipulate 
well you can’t have me 

You need a moat with an electric fence 
you need an army just for self defense 
a team of lawyers and of lobbyists 
you need your shoes shined and you need your ass kissed

James Hunter USA - You Need

You are the mountain lion 
you gotta go where the money is 
you never know what you will find 
you gotta go where the money is 

You are the businessman 
you gotta go for the easy kill 
and don’t expect them to understand 
you gotta go for the easy kill 

Can you wait until the summer? you can die and you’ll be warm 
if you put your arms around me, we can make it through the storm 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 

Life is a miracle 
but I never had the time to live 
taking everything I could 
I didn’t know I had so much to give 

Give thanks to the sunlight and the ground you’re standing on 
cause life is just a feeling for a moment and it’s gone 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 

can you wait until the summer? you can die and you’ll be warm 
if you put your arms around me we can make it through the storm 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
please don’t die 
no

James Hunter USA - Mountain Lion

I say I don’t want to be lonely 
but it’s not like I really wanna turn off my TV 
right now 
right now 
I say I don’t want to be lonely 
but it’s not like I am gonna turn off my computer 
at all 
at all 

all I want is to be right 
block out the things I don’t like 
my echo chamber keeps the bad voices out 
and everyone who disagrees 
with me is gonna stay the hell away from me 
and my echo chamber 

all by myself 

I say I don’t want to be lonely 
but it’s not like I’m ever gonna leave my neighborhood 
I’m so scared 
a sea of bastards out there 

I need to love, I need to hate 
my echo chamber tells me what to love and what to hate 
and what to think 
and I’m afraid of my own mind 
and all the things that I might find 
if I leave this echo chamber 

all by myself

James Hunter USA - Echo Chamber

I can feel it in my toenails 
a little tingle in my throat 
a little voice telling me to go home 

I can see it in the billboard 
the one that flashes at my window 
through the kudzu on a hot sticky night 

and I can’t trust anybody 

I see all the madness, madness all around me 
I hear all the people yelling, screaming 
I see all the madness, and I think it’s in me 
I can feel it in me 
and I am terrified 

A friendly possum reminds me 
at this moment wars are happening 
and the best thing to do is just lay down and die 

normally I’m not this paranoid 
but lately, it’s something I can’t avoid 
you know I once had hope, but that hope's been destroyed

and I’m boarding up my windows 

I see all the madness… 

I used to say to myself at night 
love is gonna win, love is gonna win 
lost in darkness, can’t find the light 
love is gonna win, love is gonna win 
If I start stocking food and supplies 
like it’s gonna be winter (a really long winter) 
like a nuclear winter 
maybe I’ll survive 

and I feel my heart beat faster 

I see all the madness… 

I see all the madness, madness all around you 
I hear you crying, yelling, screaming 
I see all the madness, and I think it’s in you 
cause I see it in you 
and I feel it in you 
and I know it’s in you 
and I am terrified
