Face your fear Before you turn out the light Come in darkness Kiss your kids goodbye Our time machine Is set to orange glow Seven years from now What will we know? Travel back to watch the queen in love Travel back to watch the silver dove Travel back to where the stars intertwine Travel back to where we lost our mind On the dark side You can sell your sin On the dark side You will never win On the dark side Where we stayed up all night On the dark side Where you saved my life

Brighter 03:27
You’ve been such a nag Where did we go wrong? You’ve been a giant drag With that siren song I don’t want to, be lied to We’re coming back two by two You’ve been calling I’ve been stalling You’ve been fading Baby, I’ve been dating I don’t want to, confuse you Or be tangled up in voodoo You want to be free? Stop selling what you need You want to be true? It made a liar out of you On the interstate It’s where we stay up late It’s what your brother had It’s what you hid from dad I don’t want to, conform too Please tell me what would you do? I’ve been ringside I’ve been a thrill ride You’ve been waiting Baby, I’ve been weighed in I don’t want to, confuse you Or be tangled up in voodoo You want to be free? It made a liar out of me You want to be true? It made a liar out of you

I’m starting to See everything will be alright I’ve been out all night Avoiding this fight I went downtown My name’s on the street It’s been so dry Avoiding the heat Take a ride on Riverside All my friends, we all get high No one knows what their gonna buy Drop top popping everything in sight Well, darkness comes I wanna buy All that rock and roll to light the way All that coke, all that speed All that dope and all that weed It’s over Been running around this town I’m lower Been running around this town I’m sober Been running around this town I’m low The whole world is sick and tired about "Whatcha gonna do tonight" The whole world is sick and tired about "Whatcha gonna do with your life?" The whole world is sick and tired about Sick and tired about Sick and tired about The whole world It’s over Quit running around this town I’m lower Quit running around this town I’m sober Quit running around this town I’m low

Decide To break the mirror Look around It’s on the ground This time Things are much clearer This time Be yourself You’re in that mirror Look around, forget the ground And watch the sky Be yourself You are that figure Look around won’t hear a sound And wonder why At your pace Time moves like quicksand This race Is out of hand Your tongue It tastes like daggers What fun Be yourself You’re in that mirror 'Look around, forget the ground And watch the sky Be yourself You are that figure Look around, it’s so profound You gotta try Darling you’re the one in that mirror Darling you’re the one in the sky Darling you don’t have to run for cover Decide

She’s a sex assassin She’s been coming for days She’s not the main attraction She’s a phase She’s a new arrival On company time We kiss and kiss in the bathroom Go make up your mind You’ve been seen You’ve been hanging with the wrong crowd In a limousine You’ve been hanging with the wrong crowd Trade away your mind for a piece of glass For a piece of crowd She’s got a new intention It’s a digital exchange She’s been draining your pension For some change It’s a new emotion This one we know for sure We kiss and kiss in the bathroom She’s such a whore You’ve been seen You’ve been hanging with the wrong crowd In a limousine You’ve been hanging with he wrong crowd Trade away your mind for a piece of grass For a piece of ground From way up here there’s no way down What’d you expect to find (What did you want?) Wishing for miracles (For miracles?) You’ve been around two days (You’ve been around!) Everything hurts the same (It hurts the same) You’ve been around my waist (You’ve been around) You’ve been around my brain (You get around!) You get around Everyone knows you get around! You’ve been seen In a limousine You’ve been seen It makes me want to scream You’re obscene You’ve been all through my dreams (You’re in my dreams) You get around Everyone knows you get around All my lives have led to this How many wishes do you wish? All those rocks you saw before Now, you want to sleep on my floor? You’ve been around two days You’ve been around my waist You get around Now we’re all hanging with the wrong crowd She’s such a whore!

Muerta 05:01
Look who’s In the room Black-hearted Imposter Bearing ruin Goodbye Down with an octopus Clear water Longing to fly On the shore of a memory Black water, wading to die You try You try You die You fly You, I was right about you You, I will write about you You, I was right about you

Scoundrel 06:44
Still breathing As she walks for a drink Valhalla In her kitchen sink Salt shaker Full of lust and love Ice breaker This one comes from above It’s a recipe for disaster Anyway you slice it Turn your back to the wind And spit out your sins And get back to the life You’ve been living I told you, every little thing And you turned on me I pray you can open up and see What you mean to me You wanted it high I’ll give you high With so much soul And so much life You’re finally free Finally free I told you every little dream I showed you every one of my schemes And you Turned On Me
8.
Freedom 03:46
Freedom. Is it in our labor? (NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!) Freedom. Is it caked on a razor? (NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!) You roll your eyes Touching down tonight You will find truth In the drugs you do Freedom Real or illusion? (Are you getting’ high?) Freedom. Another revolution? (Can you tell me why?) Six a.m. and I want to go home Touch your blade to the bone You will find truth In the drugs you choose Wait (talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk) next to me (talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk) You will breathe (talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk) Ecstasy (talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk) I’m free

Timing 05:11
It’s the timing The conversations Last for fourteen hours Fighting off demons It’s the timing The calibrating Has got us roller skating Through New York It’s the timing The celebrating Got you coming in fading Got you coming in praying It’s the timing It’s that time again It’s time to start feeling It’s time to start healing You could have had it all Had it all But you went back for more You went back for more In that movie That you’ve been writing It’s another war Some of the rides you’ve been riding (Can you feel it?) Some of the crimes gone bad (You’ll know when!) Some of the wrongs you’ve been righting (Will blow away!) Some of the best times we had We could have had it all Had it all But we went back for more And we went back for more Three people saved Now we’re laughing about it Three people say "Now we have it all"

Sold your soul, to a girl in the pawn shop You’ll be sorry Now-a-days, you know it’s all for nothing You’ll be sorry I tried to burn All of the things we learned It’s an overthrow After all we’ve been through Now you’re pushing me away Are you pushing me away? Your sister goes into a church, for a shotgun You’ll be sorry Now-a-days, every good girl’s got to have one You’ll be sorry I’ll take it slow Sometimes the wind won’t blow It’s another bet Starting to shrink The art of pushing me away Pushing me away Are you pushing me away? I tried to learn I tried to burn I tried to turn Inside out After all our times After all our crimes Now you’re pushing me away Pushing me away Now you’re pushing me away?

Back of the room It’s a political tomb Bury Slip of the tongue Spell out a gun Worry Sign on the dotted line Hurry Dance with meow Take a chance with meow Kitty Dream with meow Come and scream with me now Kitty Took a long time Tried to figure it out Took a long time Tried to work it out, for me Took a long time Tried to figure it out Took a long time Tried to scream and shout Baby Dance with me now Take a chance with me now Find romance with me now Then we’ll swallow it down Then we’ll run all around We’ll be the talk of the town Took a long time Tried to figure it out Took a long time Tried to work it out Took a long time Tried to smoke it out Took a long time Tried to cook it out Took a long time Tried to scream and shout Dirty

Wild streaks And, windy, days Blowing all my, friends around A nightly parade We slowly, fade Pressing our way Through the crowd Wild Streaks Like we warned about Windy Days Blow our hope, around Screening all the calls Now no one calls, at all Haunted by, right and wrong

about

Focusing on more layered atmospheric textures and varied styles of songwriting, this 12-song album, Wild Streaks & Windy Days, was self-released at SXSW 2008 to positive reviews. Barrett King of Baltimore's Sën magazine compared the sound of the album to that of other space rock acts like Pink Floyd and David Bowie, while LA Cityzine praised its "rich lyrical offerings and strong musicianship". The Lemur Blog in Sweden wrote, "The result is spaced out, it's probably the best space rock album you can find within the scrutinized confines of 2008." The Music Reviewer gave the album a 9.0/10 and said, "It's an amazing mix of the past and the present, without being too much of either. It's a group that you'll hear more of in the future, and it's a group that knows how to pay homage to – and not just copy – their idols from the past." Indiecision blog described this album's sound as "if Failure and Pink Floyd got together to drink mushroom tea out of fancy little teacups and chase the white rabbit with Brian Eno and Robert Smith".
