Club Sizzle 03:52
Rumor has it we were good from the start But two parts of the story are so hard to believe on their own I was reckless, determined and bent To have my way in the shadow of death to everything we'd ever known Won't you knock on the walls before you call Well sometimes a whisper doesn't speak to me at all If you want a place to meet me, I'll find a place to be Don't you ever want to climb down from the old oak tree? My hands are shaking and I'm ready to rest I miss those days and the way they were spent Naked and easy in the ethers of what's left But shame and burden hung a weight round my neck I hang my head before the throne of regret Collect the pieces of the words I should have said
2.
Hey, you've got a bad reputation It follows you around Say, little queen of the freaks Don't you trip over your own crown 'Cause your never gonna live it down after tonight And never wanna live it up after tonight again Well wait, you give us all a show Dancin' on the edge of your knife Cut to the chase in the back of the van Act one, scene two of your life Where your never gonna live it down after tonight And never wann live it up after tonight again Oh my my, how the party dies And all the high heads wilt like flowers When the lights go up and the bartender speaks All that's left is a room full of cowards Who are never gonna live it down after tonight And never wanna live it up after tonight again
3.
Down on Riverside the water is high About to break the bank and so am I I hit the joint where everyone goes And I met the man that the rest of you know Let's take it easy, let's not get stressed We're all livin' hard if not our best I hit the bottom where the darkest thoughts flow And I met the man that the rest of you know Maybe delusion, maybe I should confess May you believe it may be lack of rest We're bein' put to the test I shut my eyes before the black market closed And I met the man that the rest of you know We're shakin' hands with shifty eyes While baby's breath blooms and roses cull the lies Stepped out the door just to see if you'd show And I met the man that the rest of you know I'll call your bluff, I'll call you out of your mind Don't feel alone, it ain't no different than mind We're bein' put to the grind I heard the whisper coming up from below And I met the man that the rest of you know
4.
Where your eyes whisper to me There's a swing under a tree And my hands about your thighs Pushing you higher You cry aloud without regard Cross your hands over your heart Until you catch your breath Swallow and sigh I wish this day would never end You look at me again I echo this and the whole world listens Yeah, we're wearing crowns of clover Dry to crumbled innocence Although it may be over The end is the beginning in the end Where the fields grow for bees Gently catch your trembling knees And hide our faces in suspended time We read the scripture in the clouds We are the truth and it's abound For now among the winds that brought us hear Well twilight calls another one To fade away At least it hesitates, it listens

-Glide Magazine

"Unabashedly honest and direct, The Boxcar Suite has never been more candid and unashamed."
