about

The first song we put together. Terry had been recording at his buddies house and sent me this track and I immediatley knew what I wanted to do with it. Like it was just waiting there for me all along.

lyrics

Mary Mary quite contrary how were you to know
That I’d take your heart rip it apart and never let you go
You put your trust in me, this isn’t what I planned
I intended just to a friend, someone to understand

All along the fever was just
Playing with my head
Down beside the river where I
First communed with the dead
Time meant something to me and I
Bottled it like wine turning
Turning oh so slowly and all tangled up
Like twine

Boys will be ignorant and girls will be like thieves
Keeping us distracted till they finally have the keys

Just grab the wheel she said, with one foot on the gas
And try to keep us stable cause I’ll bite it if we crash

At first it seemed like Christmas
I was grinning ear to ear
You took away my freedom and then you
Banished all my fears

The grass feels green beneath my feet
There’s laughter in the air
When I turn around to face you
It seems you were never there

Still the world is racing through
The windows of my mind
I know every choice I make is
Leaving hundreds more behind
I could see my life flash by
Went flying down the road
No way to reach the gas or breaks
just point it where to go

Mary Mary quite contrary how were you to know
That I’d take your heart rip it apart and never let you go

Shuko we were wondering if you might have the time
To grab us all some pizza and a bucket full of slime
