LYRICS: 
i thought I had it figured out
you know?
a year, some months
maybe longer-
I wuz all-in...
every word I sang
every chord I played
trying to make something real 
out of the spaces between us
but you just laughed one day
like I was some joke 
you couldn’t take seriously
and walked out the door 
like it was the easiest thing in the world-
-----
I guess I was ridiculous
Maybe a little too much
But I swear I was loving you 
The best way I knew how

Now I’m left here
Strumming quiet songs
Filling empty rooms 
With sound of your goodbye
You walked out laughing
Like it didn’t even hurt
And I’m stuck singing 
All the parts you never learned

The guitar feels heavier 
Without you here
Like every note drags a little
Trying to hold on

I trace the outlines of your smile 
In every melody
Even when I know 
You don’t hear it 
Anymore

Yeah, maybe I, was ridiculous 
But how else am I supposed to be?
Said I was chasing shadows
But all I ever wanted was something real

Now I’m left here
Strumming quiet songs
Filling empty rooms 
Trying to make something real
Out of parts you never learned

I guess I was ridiculous
But how else am I supposed to be 
You said I was chasing shadows 
But all I ever wanted 
Was somethin' real

Now I’m left here
Strumming quiet songs
Filling empty rooms 
With sound of your goodbye
You walked out laughing
Like it didn’t even hurt
And I’m stuck singing 
All the parts you never learned

Now I’m left here
Strumming quiet songs
Filling empty rooms 
With sound of your goodbye
You walked out laughing
Like it didn’t even hurt
And I’m stuck singing 
All the parts you never learned

i'remember the way 
the morning light would catch your hair
and I tried to write you into every line
but you slipped through
like water between my fingers
laughing when you left me
like it was nothing at all

now I’m left here
strumming quiet songs
filling empty rooms 
with sound of your goodbye
you walked out laughing
like it didn’t even hurt
and I’m stuck singing 
all the parts you never learned
laughing when you left me
like it was nothing at all.

sound of your goodye

This darkwave version of Ordinary takes what was once an uplifting ode to comfort and simplicity and recasts it in shadow; the same lyrics, set against dissonant synths and a brooding delivery, shift from celebration to resignation, turning “ordinary” from a source of safety into a haunting reminder of inevitability and fragility - a total tonal shift.

LYRICS:
------
They say
The holy water's watered down
And this town's lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually

So, if our time is runnin' out
Day after day
We'll make 
The mundane our masterpiece

Oh my, my
Oh my, my love
I take one look at you

You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 
Til we're dead and buried
I'm on the edge of your knife
Stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissin' the ground 
Of your sanctuary
Shatter me with your touch
Oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

Hopeless hallelujah
On this side of Heaven's gate

Oh, my life, how do ya
Breathe and take my breath away?

At your altar
I will pray
You're the sculptor
I'm the clay

Oh my, my-

You're takin' me 
Out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 
Til we're dead and buried
I'm on the edge of your knife
Stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissing the ground
Of your sanctuary 
Shatter me with your touch
Oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so heavenly
Higher than ecstasy
Whenever you're next to me
Oh my, my

World was in black and white 
Until I saw your light
I thought you had to die to find

Somethin' so out of the ordinary
I want you laying me down
Til we're dead and buried
I'm on the edge of your knife
Stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissing the ground
Of your sanctuary 
Shatter me with your touch
Oh Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds 
Are jealous knowin' we found

STARGAZING | Scott Travis | Travis Scott Cover

a darkwave Electro Halloween 🎃 Version of "They're Coming to Take Me Away" - a 1966 song about being driven mad when a relationship shatters to pieces
------
LYRICS:
------
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave 
Because I´d go beserk?
WELL...
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I´ve gone completely
Out of my mind

AND

They´re coming to take me away
Haha
They´re coming to take me away
Ha ho, ho ho, hee hee

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re 
Coming to take me 
AWAY
HA HA HO

You thought it was a joke
And so you LAUGHED
YOU LAUGHED!

When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid
RIGHT?

You know you laughed
I HEARD you laugh
You laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know 
I´m utterly mad

They´re coming to take me away

Haha

They´re coming to take me away
Ho, hee hee, ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile 
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they´re coming to take me away

HAHA

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds

HMM?

Well, you just wait
They´ll find you yet
And when they do
They´ll put you in
The ASPCA-
You mangy MUTT

Coming to take me away

Lost Bruce Springsteen single surfaces in Tom Petty's garage, beneath an old $12 Sunbeam toaster oven
------
LYRICS:
------
I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again
This happens all the time, it's detachable (detachable penis)

This comes in handy a lot of the time
I can leave it home (detachable penis)

When I think it's gonna get me in trouble
Or I can rent it out when I don't need it (detachable penis)
But now and then, I go to a party, get drunk
And the next morning, I can't for the life of me (detachable penis)
Remember what I did with it (detachable penis)

First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it
So I called up the place where the party was (detachable penis)
They hadn't seen it either

I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 
'Cause for some reason, I leave it there sometimes
But not this time (detachable penis)

So I told them if it pops up to let me know
I called a few people who were at the party (detachable penis)
But they were no help either

I was starting to get desperate (detachable penis)
I really don't like being without my penis for too long
It makes me feel like less of a man, and- (detachable penis)

I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak (detachable penis)
After a few hours of searching the house (detachable penis)
And calling everyone I could think of
I was starting to get very depressed (detachable penis)

So I went to 'The Kiev' and ate breakfast

Then as I walked down Second Avenue
Towards St. Mark's place where (detachable penis)
All those people sell used books and other junk on the street

I saw my penis lying on a blanket (detachable penis)
Next to a broken toaster oven
Some guy was selling it (detachable penis)

I had to buy it off him, he wanted 22 bucks (detachable penis)
But I talked him down to 17
I took it home, washed it off (detachable penis)

And put it back on (detachable penis)

I was happy again, complete
People sometimes tell me (detachable penis)
I should get it permanently attached
But I don't know (detachable penis)

Even though it's sometimes 
A pain in the ass-

I like having a...
Detachable penis
Detachable penis
Detachable penis

Detachable penis 
Detachable penis  
Detachable penis  

Detachable 
Detachable
Detachable

DETACHABLE PENIS | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

'It's a Girl Party', first recorded in 2014 by Mack Z and the Dance Moms girls, gets an update... as they are now older and have hit da late-nite clubs
------
LYRICS:
------
Girl party
(Girl party)
It's all too boring

Sitting, watching the time
The girls are waiting on the 9-1-1 
Party line
I'm gonna blow 
If that dumb bell doesn't ring
Wanna crank up the music
And we'll let the weekend begin

No boys allowed
This is our one sacred rule
Ain't it enough
We got to deal with them all day at school
'Cause we'll be talking things 
They just shouldn't know
You know how boys are with their inflated
Fragile egos

Oh-oh-oh
Look at each other and say
Oh-oh-oh

What we need is a girl party!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party, girl party
We're gonna have some fun
'Cause we're ready to get this party started
(This party started)

Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party
Girl party
Shout if you wanna come
'Cause we're ready to 
Get, this party started
(This party started)

Girl party
(Girl party)

I got a friend 
Who is a crankin' DJ
She'll lay a beat down
It'll blow everybody away

And all my besties up and down 
The whole block
We'll come running right over
Ready and willing to rock

Break out the popcorn 
And the chips with movie
We'll do our hair and nails
And dance around in our jammies

They're super cute
But you know boys and their brains
They'll never understand what sisterhood Sisterhood means

Oh-oh-oh
Look at each other and say
Oh-oh-oh

What we need is a girl party!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party, girl party
We're gonna have some fun
'Cause we're ready to get this party started
(This party started)

Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party
Girl party
Shout if you wanna come
'Cause we're ready to get
This party started
(This party started)

Don't show up here 
Unless you ready to move
You're welcome here long
As you ready to groove

(Ah, let's dance)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
(Girl party)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
(Girl party)

Look at each other and say...

What we need is a girl party!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party, girl party
We're gonna have some fun
'Cause we're ready 
Get this party started
(This party started)

Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party
Girl party
Shout if you wanna come
'Cause we're ready to 
Get this party started
(This party started)

Na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a girl party
Girl party
Come if you wanna come
'Cause we're ready to 
Get this party started
This party started.

I'm the Mac and I'm bad, give you something that you never had
I'll make ya bump bump, wiggle and shake your rump
'Cause I be kicking the flavor that makes you wanna jump

How high? Real high, 'cause I'm just so fly
A young lovable, huggable type of guy
And everything is to the back with a little slack
'Cause inside out is wiggida, wiggida, wiggida wack

I come stompin' with somethin' pumpin' to keep you jumpin'
R&B, rappin' bull crap is what I'm dumpin'
Ain't nothin' sucker 'bout Kris Kross, we all that
So when they ask, "Do they rock?" Say, "Believe that"

The D-A-double-D-Y-M-A-C
Yeah, you know me
I got you jumpin' and bumpin' and pumpin', movin' all around, G

In the mix, I might just take a step back
They try to step to the Mac then they got jacked
To the back you'll be sportin' the gear, is that coincidental?
Act like you know it, don't be claiming that it's mental

Two lil' kids with a flow you ain't ever heard
And nothin' fake, you can understand every word (word)
As you listen to my cool, smooth melody
The Daddy makes you J-U-M-P

The Mac Dad'll make ya (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make ya (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make ya (jump, jump)

Uh-huh, uh-huh

And for all y'all suckers that don't know...

Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this (bo, bo)
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this (bo, bo)

KRIS KROSS JUMP FOREVER

The tragic tale of Timmy and Sharon... a 1950's doo-wop couple so in love... that they squeezed each other to death 
------
LYRICS:
------
Ohhh my darling…  
I’m gone, I’m gone…  

Held you tight, too tight  
shoo-bop, sha na na
Love turned dark in your arms  
shoo-bop, sha na na
I never thought my kiss 
Could break you in two  
Now I’m shadows and ashes  
Still singing to you  

I squeezed you so hard  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
That I popped in your arms  
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
Exploded to pieces  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
My heart flew away  
doo-wop, doo-wop  

I spit you out 
But wish- 
I had swallowed you whole  

Million pieces  
Sha Na Na

Sirens wailed
The law  
shoo-bop, sha na na
On the pavement I fell  
shoo-bop, sha-na-na
My hands were red  
The crowd was staring at me  
But love was the chain  
That would never set me free  

Now I’m left 
With just the dream of you  
And I’m the ghost 
You’re still clinging to  
They whispered the verdict 
From heaven above  

Called it
They called it… 
Death by Love  
Death by Love  

I squeezed you so hard  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
That I popped in your arms 
shoo bop, shoo bop
Exploded to pieces
Sha Na Na, Sha Na Na
My heart flew away  
doo-wop, doo-wop 

I spit you out 
But wish-
I had swallowed you whole  
Death by Love  
Death by Love 
Death by Love

I squeezed you so hard  
That I popped in your arms
shoo bop, shoo bop
Exploded to pieces  
My heart flew away
doo wop, doo wop

I spit you out 
But wish-
I had swallowed you whole  
Death by Love  
Death by Love 
Death by Love

Sha Na Na

Forgive me…  
I loved you too much to stay…  
This was our… 
Death by Love

DEATH BY LOVE

the dark and twisted relationship of '50s doo-wop couple, Timmy and Sharon, is on full display in their classic and troubling song "Something's Missing"
------
LYRICS:
------
I woke up this morning
Something's missing

My penis was gone  
sha-na, shoo-bop  
I looked all around  
sha-na-na
Don’t stop  

It used to be attached  
doo-wop, doo-wop  
Now it’s out in the world  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

How did this happen?  
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
Who’s to blame?  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Did you misplace it again?  
Or is it gone for good?  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Detached, Detached
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Lost in the city
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
Walking alone
Looking for it  
sha-na-na
Stranger hands
Stranger faces
doo-wop, doo-wop  
I found it again
I lost it again  

I went to the bar  
sha-na-na, shoo-bop  
Sat down alone  
sha-na-na, don’t stop  

Ordered a drink  
doo-wop, doo-wop  
My penis 
Not in my pants  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Don’t panic, Don’t panic  
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
It’ll turn up  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Maybe someone borrowed it  
Or it went for a stroll  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Dettached, Detached 
sha-na-na
sha-na-na

I checked the alley  
Behind the trash cans  
I retraced my steps  
Through the neon streets  

My penis
My penis
Lost and found  
sha-na-na-na
doo-wop
shoo-bop

Detached
Sha Na Na
Sha Na Na

Detached, Detached  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
Back in my pants  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
Relief and horror  
Another day
Another adventure

I hope it stays put…  
Don’t count on it
Detached, Detached
sha-na-na-na
shoo-bop
Ahhh.

SOMETHING'S MISSING

the twisted relationship of Timmy & Sharon continues with JAR OF BODY PARTS... The Doo-Wop Pop duo tackle issues of deep hatred and loathing
------
LYRICS:
------
I know that I can't take  
Many more steps toward your heart  
'Cause all that's waiting for me  

Is some dark regret 
That I can see  

Sha-na-na… 
Oo-wah… 
Sha-bop…  

Don’t you know that I’m not your ghost
That I’m not your chore?  

You the one who lost the love  
That I loved the most

Yikkity-dang-da-dong… 
All around here…  

I learned to live with you— 
Just half alive,  
Now you want all my organs 
To live inside of a jar

Who do you think you are?  
Chasing me and leaving deep scars—  
Collecting my body parts in a jar

Tearing my lungs apart!  

Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Jar of Body Parts!  
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na

You smile like you bury me,  
Candy teeth with rusty nails

I sleep with knives 
Beneath my pillow
I keep your name in jail

You keep it in a jar—  
Little labels
Little lies

Yikkity-dang-da-dong… 
Labels, lies…  

You’re going to catch the flu  
From what I will do to you
So don’t you dare come back for me
Who do you think you see?  

Sha-bop… sha-na-na…  

I learned to live with you— 
Just half alive,  
Now you want all my organs 
To live inside of a jar

Who do you think you are?  
Chasing me and leaving deep scars—  
Collecting my body parts in a jar

Tearing my lungs apart!  

Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Yikkity-dang-da-dong
Oo-wah-oo!  
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na

Yakety ding-dee-dong! 
Shoobop shoobop! 
Sha-na-na!  

Yakety ding-dee-dong! 
Shoobop shoobop! 
Sha-na-na!  

Yakety ding-dee-dong! 
Shoobop shoobop! 
Sha-na-na!  

Yakety ding-dee-dong! 
Shoobop shoobop! 
Sha-na-na!  

You took my pulse 
And pinned it on a shelf
My trembling framed in glass

I’ll hang your heart above the mantel
Polished like a looking glass

Sha-na-na
Yikkity-dang-da-dong 
Whoa-whoa-whoa

I learned to live with you— 
Just half alive
Now you want all my organs 
To live inside of a jar

Who do you think you are?  
Chasing me and leaving deep scars—  
Collecting my body parts in a jar
Tearing my lungs apart!  

Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Yikkity-dang-da-dong

Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Jar— of— Body— Parts

Who do you think you are? 
Who do you think you see?  
Sha-na-na… 
Sha-na-na… 
Oo-wah…

JAR OF BODY PARTS

a jazzy doo-wop pop song by Timmy and Sharon... an on again, off again couple, battling a twisted & destructive relationship
------
LYRICS:
------
We can’t pretend we’re whole,  
You cut me deep, I dig your hole
We shatter glass with every fight,  
But bounce back bleeding every night

You swing your words like blades,  
I wear the scars of games we’ve played
I fall, I break, I bruise, I burn,  
But somehow always still return

Shoo-wop… sha-na-na… 
Hearts don’t break
They snap back

I’ve got my stretchy heart,  
You tear me down
But I don’t fall apart

You can pull, you can bite,  
But I’ll still come back to fight—  
With my everlasting stretchy heart

Sha-na-na… oo-wah… 
My stretchy heart

I gave you love
You gave me chains
You stitched my laughter to my pain
We break, we bend, we bruise, we heal
But never know what’s truly real

You hide your venom in a kiss,  
I know the cost, I drink the risk
We bend, we crack, but never rip—  
This curse of mine, in every sip

Shoo-wop… sha-bop… 
Hearts that bend 
But still belong

I’ve got my stretchy heart,  
You push me down
But I don’t fall apart

You can claw, you can bite,  
But I’ll still come back to fight—  
With my stretchy heart
 
You can’t destroy me
You can’t contain me
I’ll snap right back
I’ll cut your slack

Together we’re a trap!  
Shoo-wop, sha-na-na, 
Oo-wah, oo-wah…  
Hearts stretch out but never die

I’ve got my stretchy heart
You burn me down
But I don’t fall apart

You can wound, you can scar
But I’ll still come back to fight—  
With my everlasting stretchy heart

It's elastic thin
And it pulls apart

But never breaks— 
My stretchy heart.

The band currently consists of two members, both living within the same body, sharing a similar existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused. However, both are extremely and unapologetically sincere. 

Influences include Weird Al, Nathan Fielder, David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain and T-Swift. Their favorite inventions are the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel... who may be an entity or a god.
