far below the reaches of the moonlight deep beneath the feelers of the dark dancing in the flicker of a shadow there was a spark creep a little closer to the surface everyone can feel it in their bones slipping through the shutters and the windows into your homes if i hold my breath it won't weigh us down we fall into the blanket of the blue you don't have to hide your hesitation i can see that time is running low even if we try to get away there's nowhere to go it's lurking in the attics and the bedrooms leaving just a glimmer in the wake help me find the rhythm in the dark before it's too late chorus: if i hold my breath it won't weigh us down we could kiss the surface of the moon only time will tell if these words i spill fall into the blanket of the blue float...home chorus

Trigger Finger Itch (free) 03:13
take this photo, fling it up the coast blow it away on a mexicali ghost and if you're listenin', listen up close the pin gets pulled, the story explodes hands up and the wallets in the sack eyes wide with the barrel staring back the tellers jellied, couldn't help twitch he scratched that nasty trigger finger itch led flew and the bullets found their man last gasp as the maker shook his hand the headlines rang out killers at large on the road and guiltier than charged I can't understand what the other people say better fire up the ford 'cause the cops are on their way chorus: murder on the dash, said the driver to the spy you can't afford to kill 'em if you can't enjoy the ride there's a van, there's a villain, there's a vapor on your eye murder on the dash, murder on the dash spent rounds and a teller left for dead smoke tires and finesse the blue and red the headlights' locked on 17 south the hand that feeds keeps slappin' at the mouth i can't understand what the other people say better fire up the ford 'cause the cops are on their way chorus caught a burden and i miss my wife took a man's living and another man's life shoot at the sky; i sleep with a knife but i'm wide awake chorus

rock bottom, no lower to go we need a new hope a new place to call home build up a new-age rome another riot to take what we can another snapped: wild-eyed and well-armed man better use 'em while you still can this is nothing new chorus: somebody lied to you we're following another tune some try to blind the youth tear the world apart for truth we want control the heart and the soul keep it inside and new we'll take our piece of the revival now we're well, well, well on our way we're the heart of the us of a line up to hear them say if poetry and dreams don't bloom wait a minute, that shit won't do we can rewrite history, too this is nothing new chorus these buildings, someday they'll be gone and still the children smile along chorus

Mr. Slate 03:16
at any time and place backsliding's begun blood rushes from the face soul departed and dumb and you can't explain to me what we already know yeah, you've invited it back no surprises to show chorus: there was a side of you that made me forget things i'd try to hide once and again, they're sinking in can't you tell? why hide away from the sun can't be scared of the rays too much for one to become not so many more days so get behind the big wheel show me you can move this ain't the second new deal this is the time to prove chorus

a call to the weird and weary anybody such as myself the god and sunlight fearing youth with no regards for their health roll out of your beds, can you hear me? the speakers up loud enough? 'cause downtown there's a hearing forget the ones that did not show up chorus: oh, don't stay inside your place tonight (silhouette under city lights) we are the ones too rare to die (kids light up in the city bright) ooh, sweetie, there's something better living little to fantasize all the reason to get together and take a drag on the easy life a push through the crowded masses no space to find high or low and the animals tilt their glasses the singer starts singing low but there's no room on the dance floor no water running from the tap i don't think i can stand for one more night alone chorus you're going through the motions but no motion leaves you in your place you take a pull on the potion emotions start swimming for days but there's no reason to stay home you've been bottled up there's no room for a halo there's only room to run

about

Midnight Spin Brooklyn, New York

Midnight Spin formed below the streets of Brooklyn, writing and performing music as powerful and commanding as the roaring JMZ trains and chaotic neighborhood blocks that bustle just above their basement rehearsal space.

Their new album Don't Let Me Sleep scrapes together everything you once loved about rock music and makes it hum again like a dirty, little noise-box from the future.
