Hip Joints - Big Old World (demo)

Aren’t you so clever?
Aren’t you so cool?
You put it all together
You took us all to school

You executed to perfection
Your subtle misdirection 
Intentions well disguised behind a grin
But when you’re going under
Do you stop to wonder
Is this the prize you thought that you would win?

So now you know the kind of man you are
A swindler in an avatar
Caught in the undertow
So now you know

So now you know the what really makes you tick
You chose the dark it seemed to stick 
You reap just what you sow
So now you know

Ripped out your own picture
To prove you don’t belong
You’re just a specter
You were missing all along

And now you start to wither
After failing to deliver
On any wayward promise that you made
You’re standing all alone
You now really own it
You only played yourself with your charade

So Now You Know

I’m watching while you’re walking, down the street
And I’m spying while you’re driving, that’s me behind the tree
So welcome to the neighborhood, I hope you’re doing fine
I’ll be dropping by here from time to time

I’m looking when you leave, I’m just a few doors down
And if there’s anything you need, I am always around 
Said hello when you were out with your dog and that’s a good start
I’ll be coming ‘round this evening with a baggie full of chicken hearts

Creepy Craig has got his eye on you, oh no
Creepy Craig has got his eye on you, let’s go
Creepy Craig just might be missing a screw
And there’s no telling what he’s gonna do, watch out now
Creepy Craig has got his eye on you

Go to the shop on the corner and there I may be
A case of beer in the morning, well, it’s not what it seems 
Your daddy gave you a warning about people like me
Won’t keep me from trying 
To get into your life
I’m gonna keep barking up at your tree

I’m stalking from the shadows, dreaming of romance
I’ll be biding my time, hoping that you give me a chance

Creepy Craig

Everybody starts feeling good this time of year
But I got my own reason for holiday cheer
Winter is here and the mercury is dropping
I can’t wait to see my baby in her Christmas stockings

Days getting short and there’s lights all ‘round the town
I start heating up when the sun goes down
Snow is falling and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping
I can’t wait to see my baby in her Christmas stockings

Red and green and silver like the colors on the Christmas tree
Startin’ down at her toes, endin’ up above her knees  
Santa don’t bring me nothing and that’s alright with me
Me and my pretty baby are warming up on Christmas Eve

You can keep the candy and the cookies and the yuletide treats
I got everything I need and it’s just as sweet
The fire is hot and the kindling is popping
I can’t wait to see my baby in her Christmas stockings
