Miscellaneous
(non-album tracks)
Nightline
Shallow cries the stranger's warn
Don't be trapped by the angry storm
Suitcase, suitcase fix my head
I buried my dreams before they were dead
And I,m on the nightline
Phantom pain can numb your life
Make you dazed before you're tied
Cinch coat, cinch coat only a few
Ever return after going through
I'm on the nightline
Detached eyes thet reak with scorn
Stare into the poisoned sores
Footsteps, footsteps without any face
Footsteps, footsteps fading away
I'm on the nightline
Christmas Rush
I got the Christmas rush, ain't got time enough
I gotta buy some stuff, running low on bucks
I got the Christmas rush
I gotta cut a tree, clean the chiminy
I gotta hang some socks, shovel the walks, & decorate the tree
Every Christmas it's the same routine
Last minute to do everything
The family's coming and I'm unprepared
Come Chrsitmas morning, I just don't care
I got the Christmas rush, I gotta take care of stuff
I got gifts to wrap and floors to wax
I got the Christmas rush
I got cards to write, wire up the Christmas lights
Make some pies and chill the wine, ain't got much time
We got the Christmas rush (2)
Sometimes it's just too much, then it's not enough
We got the Christmas rush
We got resolutions, we got new solutions
We don't smoke or drink or tell you what we think
We got resolutions
Dark Deception
Every time we have this conversation
You build me up just to tear me down
Clearly it's a problem with your conscience
While I'm the one who's left on zero ground
Oh, dark deception
Baby, it's not easy being humble
You're out to fool the world one more time
We must seem like the outlaw and the actor
Spellbound while the other steals your lines
Oh, dark deception
Angels have spread their wings before you
I've seen their trace descend into your eyes
Weighed your future's outcome with misfortune
No longer can I stand behind your lies
Oh, dark deception
Ricochet (7" version)
Seen the walkin' side of death
The eyes that never rest
Been waitin' in a line for the call that never comes
But kid don't hold your breath
You're only second best
Ain't personal just business being done
With a paralyzing gaze
I walk onto the stage
Would I really be the outcast coming home
As I turn to look at you
The way you've fallen too
I hope I can take it when it comes
Dirty Noise
Inner city rumble
Guitar-soundin' trash
May not be in Rolling Stone
But we know where it's at
Long-haired kids in torn jeans
Call this out of control
Napalm Beach is the nail in the coffin
And they're drivin' it into your soul
Ah, dirty noise
Critics call it anger
Some say it's deranged
But it's the sound, the sound of the great Northwest
It's gonna eat away your brain
Ah, dirty noise
Downstairs in the basement
Underground parking garage
The microphones keep feeding back
'Cause a Poison Idea's been launched
Might be Tad, Nirvana, Soundgarden or Calamity Jane
Pearl Jam, The Gits, Mudhoney, M99, and Sage
Got it in Seattle, Bellingham, and Eugene
They got it in Portland, Olympia, and Tacoma
And all points in between
Amplifiers blarin', it must be Monomen
Marble Orchard,Oblivian Seekers, The Flapjacks, or The Kingsmen
Yeah, like The Wailers, The Sonics, The Gories, Beat Happening,
Fastbacks, Treehouse, Hitting Birth, Worried Guys, The Weeds,
Alice In Chains, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Daily Flash,
Undertakers
Where Anything Goes
As the night begins to fade
Tomorrow becomes yesterday
And in the twilights close
Anything goes
Where all our dreams are made of ice
They seem to melt before our eyes
But while the midnight snows
Anything goes
Like ships that sail into the dawn
Horizons just beyond are gone
Who can say or know
Where anything goes
