The people outside got it all worked out
Don't it seem like?
The people outside in the night
Going wild
But I'm De Niro in Casino
Never the hero
I'm an angel
I'm the devil
And I gotta get it right
Before the lights go out
In this one-way town
Or drown in wine
Cause I can't tame
My appetite
But I'm the kingpin
Of the catwalk
So fuckin' punk rock
Just a small time hood
Better cut me loose
Cause I'm the kingpin
Of the catwalk
So fuck your punk rock
Just a small time hood
Better cut me loose, yeah
I'm De Niro in Casino
Never the hero
I'm an angel
I'm the devil
Jesus was an alien
Got the whole world in his hand
But you can still watch it spin
Me and mother mary wept
Hangin' at the drive in
She don't care what I spend

Radio

Are we moving way too slow
I want to get nice and loaded
I ain't nothin but a bloodhound
So come turn me upside down
But I'm not going home
Till they play my song
On the radio
They say the devil is a liar
She got the mark of the beast all over her body
Better get behind me, better slide by
Cause we're moving way too slow
I want to get nice and loaded
And take it off, let's turn it up
I'll be your clean sheet
I'll be your James Dean
We may never get to kingdom come, baby
Aren't you tired of waitin'
And you do
And you don't
But they're playing our song
I want it all
I want it now
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm not ready
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm not ready to turn on the radio
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm not ready
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm not ready to turn on the radio
I'm not ready to turn on the radio
I'm not ready to turn on the radio

Pickup

You know you can't see the world
From the bed of a pickup girl
If you don't feel at home
Can you fake a little longer
I know you can't see the weight
Carried on my shoulder
Coulda been a little bit taller
Little bit stronger
She's pretty good with a joystick
Layin on the mattress
Watching all her enemies fall
She's getting warm in the spotlight
Way past midnight
Listening to rock and roll
Listening to rock and roll
You know I paid to play
Got to show me what it's worth
While all the clean cut boys
Are kissing in the corner
I know you can't feel the weight
Till it's on your shoulder
If I let you go now
It ain't cause I wanna
She's pretty good with a joystick
Layin on the mattress
Watching all her enemies fall
She's getting warm in the spotlight
Way past midnight
Listening to rock and roll
And I could give my life
For you to turn that engine on
Cause you could be someone
I read it on your palm
Listening to rock and roll

She was workin at the Dairy Queen
Another summer I was sent away
Never thought I'd live to 17
On gasoline streets
Or cherry ice cream
Well I think we're gettin in too deep
And there probably will be hell to pay
But I'm livin for the fast life
The tail lights had nothin to say
Don't you wanna go out
Gettin so tired of playin make believe
I'm a teenage burnout
But I got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve
She was workin on a candy cane
So we slipped into the backseat
It was feelin like a hundred degrees
And I just melted from the heat
Are you checkin on the damages
I liked to died, you're so soft and sweet
But I'm burnin down the cheap hotels
Liquor and drugs
And cherry ice cream
Don't you wanna go out
Gettin so tired of playin make believe
I'm a teenage burnout
But I got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve
I'm a teenage burnout
I'm a full moon risin, I'm a black daydream
I'm a teenage burnout
But I got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve
Got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve
Got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve
Got a little somethin hidden up my sleeve

Corvette

I wanna joyride
I wanna feel the heat in my veins
I wanna live a life of ease
Just wanna get a little taste
C'mon and be my teacher
In your glasses
Turn the dial at the dashboard
If I start goin backward
We done a whole
Lotta talkin
Lay it down
On the carpet
Shake it up
At the pulpit
Drivin off
In your corvette
I wanna feel good
I wanna lose myself to the cure
I wanna play dumb
I wanna leave the windows open
Like you in your wet t-shirt
Think you'd make a good actress
And I wanna dip your brittle bones
In molasses
We done a whole
Lotta talkin
Lay it down
On the carpet
Shake it up
At the pulpit
Drivin off
In your corvette
We done a whole
Lotta talkin
Laid it down
On the carpet
Shake it up
At the pulpit
Drivin off
We done a whole
Lotta talkin
Lay down
On the carpet
We done a whole
Lotta talkin
Lay down
In your corvette
In your corvette
In your corvette
In your corvette

Dance the Misery recommends:
Great players, interesting song structures with a punk edge.

One of my favorite bands. I love the dense guitar layers, soft dreamy vocals and the flat slappy drums.

Intricate jangle pop with sophisticated arrangements, catchy melodies, and psychedelic mixes. Super love.
