Come on now stand a little closer Don't wait until the party is over Don't wait until the water is wet to drink Don't wait until its slipping past your feet Come on now stand a little closer to me Don't wait until the ship falls into the sea To the bottom of an ocean an ocean so deep That you're never ever ever gonna hear from me. Come on now, over the fence and into the pool Through that backyard, touch the neon blue Through the castle gates, through the locks and chains Through the kitchen up the stairs, up to your bedroom. Come on now.

Out of state out of mind Out of hate all the time My feelings for you oh yes my feelings for you haven't changed I've rearranged everything I can think of Everything I can think of is gone Everything that you touched in my house Everything that you touched is on the front lawn Still I got this feeling in my heart.
3.
Watch it watch it all fall down Like some silent monster movie marching through our hometown it'll never be the same it'll never make no sense to no one else Watch it watch it all creep in telephone poles and long black wires are wrapping around everything it'll never be the same it'll never make no sense to no one else its just a place like any other its just a place I guess it really shouldn't matter but it does oh yes it does We dug a big hole through the kitchen floor no one ever goes in there no one ever comes out here no more you wake up all the rooms you pick up all the brooms you're cleaning house its just a place like any other its just a place I guess it really shouldn't matter but it does oh yes it does

We're playing for fun What has been won has been won The bell has been rung The banners are hung Break out your dancing shoes Come out of your igloos The winter was then Now it is time to do it again If you ask me for reals I'll tell you for true This isn't a game it is just what we do And it is not about who is on top 'Cause there is always that drop yes there's always that drop If you want to talk shop let's talk shop If you want to drink let's drink until we drop Let's get all there is to be got all there is to be had We won't live forever is that really so bad?
6.
all the best songs are love songs don't think that you can argue that no i don't think you can argue that. all the cool kids and the square ones to they're always into that, yes they are always into that. easy come and go that's your story convenient explanations for the way things are. who really cares who really knows whose responsibility was this?

Lay down on your lawn and reach for the stars there are a million out there burning bright burning far lay down on your lawn until the sprinklers turn on We're falling in love or falling out of it there's no scoreboard or bells it makes it real hard to tell if we're poised to win or poised to quit Careful with that and watch your step its so much harder than it looks its and intricate trap oh yeah, you feel like a million dollars inside until you get caught up in some foolish schoolyard pride its not a matter of that or a matter of this Its a million to one its a million to 0 its the burning of the sun its a giant black hole its the center of the universe its your home Careful with that and watch your step its so much harder than it looks its and intricate trap oh yeah, you feel like a million dollars inside until you get caught up in some foolish schoolyard pride its not a matter of that or a matter of this We are the children of a new revolution Its just so crazy to think that something so old could have turned into us what luck what a waste

Robot Show 03:20
at the robot show I don't need no self control I never make mistakes at all I've got a half an hour till my call at the robot show. at the robot show there's no problems here to solve I never make mistakes at all I've got a half an hour till my call at the robot show. There's no mess involved at all no risk to take no way to fall. at the robot show there's no thinking just reacting no defense just attacking no cause and no effect at the robot show. There's no mess involved at all no risk to take no way to fall.

Need Nobody 02:59
I don't need nobody to tell me know I don't need nobody to tell me so I don't need nobody, just let 'em go I don't need nobody gonna let 'em go. When the wind comes running through the trees and I'm locked outside, no phone no key I'll just slip under the cot, don't you worry about me Like anyone like you would ever worry about anyone like me And it all starts off like some four bar melody simple brave true and almost always in key but things can get real strange when they start to rearrange you hit that change and suddenly you're free.
10.
Ice Age 04:15
Welcome to the ice age Welcome to the end We're just a loose band of haircuts Marching down stairtops We're your friends We had a good run We did just fine Long conversations Radio stations unwind But its over and done with its over like that You blink and its backwards upsidedown and collapse
11.
Ain't got no fever ain't got no fire they've killed your leader and they've blocked up your driveway Ain't got no change in your pockets Ain't got your phone you've gone and lost it again They're making motions with their hands these waves and oceans won't stop the land block up the doorway block up the hall Its 1969 and you ain't born yet at all Its late again You're the last letter writer the only sober driver and if you can't no one can Look out the window Where are all the trees Our landscaper's got some kind of crazy disease Send the cavalry, lend a hand This is where we're making our last stand Its late again You're the last letter writer the only sober driver and if you can't no one can
12.
Argument 03:03
I'm gonna start an argument and never ever finish it all You never understand anything that I say I never ever figured out what the hell was really going on You never understand anything that I say appeal to your higher courts appeal to your better halves at worst you'll see the worst of me at worst you'll see the worst of what I'm getting at I'm gonna make a mountain out of everything we've ever done wrong
13.
Believer 02:08
14.
Mysteries of sums and all the loneliness of one everybody wants to be the only who take a little advice settle down and play nice everybody knows that one and one equals two middle of the midnight I'm dreaming of a train ride thought that I had finally gotten over it you vanish down a tunnel I just pick it up and I run with it this is not the time for hesitation oh. you make my heart sing oh. just let the telephone ring. oh. you are the only one. what the neighbors don't know it won't hurt them.
15.
If U Know 03:44
If you know what I know than you probably know that things don't always go quite like you planned. You may not hear it from me, you may not hear it at all. It is always one of those things that's never nobody's fault. Oh now its not your fault. If you go where I go than you've probably gone all the way to the other side and then came back. You may not hear it from me, you may not hear it at all. It is always one of those things that's never nobody's fault. Oh now its not your fault. Be careful with your time its not really yours or really mine, we just made it up. Drew some line said this is nine and over here it is twelve o'clock. Not really really math or science, just some fantasy land full of made up giants and if you're on time, if you're on time, maybe you're the liar.
16.
The ocean is a million miles deep Sometimes I feel like that when I'm asleep Sometimes I feel an ache when I'm awake I think it is just a toothache Curiosity you know it killed the cat Sometimes I think it should have been more deadly than that Like a gun or a bomb or a dog or a fire It is pretty fucked up what that shit can do inside you. It is a regular thing a common cell phone ring It is not the end of the world or an emergency It is just a courtesy call from your long distance carrier

about

Rademacher California

At turns wry and censorious, Rademacher uses its rough-hewn indie rock — barbed-wire guitars, funhouse keyboard lines, Mancillas’ shout-sung vocals — to dissect what it’s like to make rough-hewn indie rock.
