THE SLIDE
music and lyrics by Sean Sandefur

I’m on a ride on a slide, I cannot run I cannot hide, I feel the ground pulling me.
I’m always wasted always sad, I think I’m going fucking mad, this emptiness is killing me.
That ain’t the way I want to go

I’m on a ride on a slide, I keep it bottled up inside, the ground is rushing up at me
I want the wind in my sails, instead of lying on the rail, I don’t want a gun to set me free.
That ain’t the way I want to go. No that ain’t the way I want to go---


I SHOULDA KNOWN
music and lyrics by Margo Simpson

I saw the clues in what you do as plain as day.
Contradiction, shit, what you do ain’t what you say. I shoulda known.
Forget the words and what you heard. Isn’t that someone I know?
More left unsaid than spoken, but the story has been told. I shoulda known.
I shoulda known. I shoulda known. I shoulda known better.

Rain came down it didn’t cool me it sizzled on my skin.
Wishing I’d seen where I’m going before I’m there again. I shoulda known.
The problem is, with problems like this, you usually try to forget them.
I shoulda known not to let you close, I shoulda known gotta hold my own
I shoulda known, I been there before, I walked that way, I been through that door
I shoulda known you drop the ball and I take the fall.
I shoulda know you’d leave me hanging full of doubt.


SMOKIN
music and lyrics by Margo Simpson

Where can you light up these days? Take it outside they say.
Well that alright, that’s OK , the world is my ashtray
I ain’t joking, I’m smoking

Marlboros in the backyard Joe, four naked ladies sitting in a row.
Pass a piece to the people passing by, feeling kinds horny and getting kinda high
I ain’t joking, I’m smoking

Fire power so sublime, habit control at a dime.
it’s the slowest form of suicide: light one up and you’re still alive.
I ain’t joking, I’m smoking

No one made you start but it’s hard to quit, when you stop you feel like shit.
Oh look out buddy better run and hide, it’s nic-fit bitch in overdrive.
I ain’t joking, I ain’t joking, I ain’t joking, I’m smoking, smoking, smoking. Yeah.
