Tokyo
03:36

I came to see you up on the stage
A drink in my hand and I'm feelin' no pain
You're singin' our song and it's drivin' me wild
Your face is carved deep down into my brain
The look you give me is one in a million
I never wanna be away from your side
Is it too much to ask, to be your man
I'm here for you and I have nothing to hide
We swim in love and it drowns us
We swim in love, we swim in love
It is Tokyo, Tokyo
Little Tokyo, Tokyo
City lights and traffic, we're alone at last
Wandering the streets till the sun comes up
And Tokyo will keep us safe through the night
It's like drinking from the well with a golden cup
We're burning hearts, terrified of the morning
Never go to sleep till the sun is shining
Stay alive only on beer and sushi
We hide our eyes from the light, it is blinding
Here we'll lay out all our fears
And shake off all the wasted years
It's time we've got, but not enough
So love me till the end

A Ghost Now
03:50

If I die in my
in my sleep
will you be holding me
If I can't breathe
If I can't breathe
will you be kissing me
If I feel the chill
in my bones
will you keep them warm
If I need a wind
to carry me
will you be the storm
You're a ghost now
a ghost now
but I'm not scared
You're a ghost now
a ghost now and
you're everywhere
My demons don't come around
when you're haunting me
and My demons don't make a sound
when you're haunting me
no more demons
If I die tonight
will you visit me
in my final thoughts
If I feel the fear
whisper in my ear
tell me what it's not
you're alive in the sky
you're alive in the sky
you're alive and I
love you, love you
my ghost light

Mexico
03:20

|
it's the quiet ones you should worry about
at least that's what momma said
but then i met a girl who let it hang out
with a voice that could kill me dead
we're just plain crazy to even be here
we robbed a bank just to come
but the weather is beautiful throughout the year
and we both love the taste of the rum
You look so good in Mexico
You're always the star of the show
You look so good in Mexico
What do you say? shall we give it a go?
and everyone wants to taste you
you're a sweet and juicy dessert
the less you put on, the more we can do
sometimes i want you so bad that it hurts
You look so good in Mexico
You're always the star of the show
You look so good in Mexico
What do you say? shall we give it a go?
dear friends, please send us money
we've burned through all of the cash
the beer tastes so good, it makes all our jokes funny
it goes down the hatch in a flash
You look so good in Mexico
You're always the star of the show
You look so good in Mexico
What do you say? shall we give it a go?

And When

and when the branch breaks I'll be the ground
I'll be the spring in your step when you're on the bound
and when the stars die I'll be the moon
and when you've lost your voice I'll take up the tune
THIS LIFE WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU
IT TRIES TO KILL YOU BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT THROUGH
and when the bottle's gone we'll drink some more
until the speakers break or we're lying on the floor
THIS LIFE WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU
IT TRIES TO KILL YOU BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT THROUGH
and when the stars die I'll be the moon
and when you've lost your voice I'll take up the tune

Rescue Me
04:58
|
|||
|
Why do I drink too much?
Why don't I care more about the world?
Why am I always lookin' up
When my body's pointed down, thinking about girls
A feeling's creeping up my spine
My fingers shake, got an urge to run
I think I'm waiting for a sign
like a slow-motion bullet shot from a gun
Rescue me
Oh wont you please
Rescue me
I've got the disease
They say the sky is gonna fall
water's gonna rise up and cover us all
Our star is going to implode
But me I'm stuck here tryin' to shake this load
Mountain's bearing down on me
High desert air is getting hard to breathe
Mouth full of spiders and flies
But I'll try to play nice, yeah I'll to play nice
Planets come and planets go
But this one happens to be my home
All planets come, all planets go
We're in the throes of death so slow
If love can conquer all
Then sign me up, give me the call
If love can conquer all, sign me up give

Lawsuits and Death
04:00
|
|||
|
The time it took her to break down was more than they could find
Two sudden words from a two faced stranger the empty stomach bind
They'll eat your money, sell you sickness, a candy colored brain
They'll be your best friend till your homeless begging in the rain
Sometimes cat claws scraping sound like life escaping
Watch me float away like a feather now my limbs are ripped off
I can't be sewn back together now my limbs are ripped off
The empty promise could fill a bed-pan thrown out in the road
A slippery fixture, oh so civil ways to self implode
They feed on daydreams, steal your swishes, put your bones on ice
They'll swallow your tears, trapped in their chairs the more they can entice.
Lawsuits and death, please take deeper breaths
Kids can kill you quicker than voodoo
Float away, float away

Look Down
04:06
|
|||
|
Your love floods in and around
The sandcastle I've found, as tides wash it away,
Look up, don't look down
Light and darkness
Reactions and distractions
Distance loses meaning
For the dreaming, swallow all
Lines are human
misconceptions, our directions
Saving time loses meaning
When you're dreaming, swallow all
Swim down discarding our crowns
Two become one as we flee from the sun
All souls on earth lost without earth
Lucky gills grow on us below
Melting faces all good graces
Fish our subjects now

Odds on, that last bomb
To blow the legs off
Send them fields to run
Bed, so feather soft
8 years, the first trick
The northern hill slide
Duct tape on the shoe
Growing hole to hide
Mayday oh Mayday
Forgot how to stear
Mayday oh Mayday
the cliff's coming near
14, was shakey
Although the quick start
Almost saw them through
Could not revive the heart
If stock, can be placed
Return as a bee
Annoy elephants
Digging in the tree
Mayday oh Mayday
Forgot how to stear
Mayday oh Mayday
the cliff's coming near
Don't wake me up
Till I'm a child again
The slate is washed
my last ten years of when
Don't wake me up
Till now has become then
The slate is washed
Odds on I'm made of tin

The Key Is In The Ocean
03:56

The key is in the ocean
The lock is on the floor
Take me to a slipper y rock
I'll show you what it's for
Just pull me to my feet
And then plant them in the sand
The water is our mirror
To show us where we stand
Built a cage around me
Out of your bones
The key is in the ocean
Asleep in the stones
Built a cage around me
Out of your bones
My bed is made of iron
I'm lying alone
The sky is getting closer
It's taking on new weight
Colors change from blue to red
I'm shrinking at the gate
Just tie a gag around me
And tie me in a bow
Hang me from a hook
so you can give the crowd a show
The key is in the ocean
The lock is on the floor
Take me to a slipper y rock
I'll show you what it's for
Applause will fade into the night
The ticket sales will die
The freak's still hanging from the wall
With nothing but the sky

Cavedoll Utah
Cavedoll originated in the late 80's as a failed attempt to create a cult in the already cult-saturated high desert of Utah, for the purpose of raising cash, free-ish love, (of course) lots o' drugs, cute ladies, hawt dudes with cooking skills, and solid beats abounding. None of this materialized. What is left: many albums by figurehead & curator Camden Ray & his more talented friends. ... more
Cavedoll recommends:
Camden From Cavedoll teamed up with his bestie Ransom Wydner from KING NIKO to form this pop powerhouse, which was rounded out by the talents of Stephanie Webb and Eric Stoye.

Love, Light, and Life
by The Suicycles
It's more or less a darker, wilder offshoot of Cavedoll that burned bright and flamed out after a couple of years.
