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.

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

Playing For Fun
04:12
|

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?

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?

Careful With That
03:48
|
|||
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

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.

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

Last Letter Writer
03:16
|
|||
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

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

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.

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.

Courtesy Call
04:27
|
|||
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

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.
