Trouble in the Arms of Your Man 03:12
lyrics
Spill me your secrets, honey. Give all you need to share. If it will help you through this, I will pretend to care. I see what’s going on… I see what’s going on… Trouble in the arms of your man. What are you scared of, darlin’? What is it that you fear? He don’t pay you attention? You think he’s insincere? I see what’s going on… I see what’s going on… Trouble in the arms of your man. Come a little closer. Whisper in my ear. Come a little closer and tell me what I want to hear. You say he ain’t like me and you want me back… You say you’ve made mistakes and you want me back… What happened to you loving your man? Darling, are you running in circles again? Trouble in the arms of your man.

Thick as Thieves 03:11
lyrics
Yeah, I think it was April… Yeah, I think it was April, or maybe it was July. You didn’t think I was able… You didn’t think I was able to make you break down and cry. Well, I’m able. Yes, I’m able. Well, I’m able to do what I want. Once, thick as thieves… Nothing could tear us apart. Double-crossed me… You’re not supposed to steal a heart. Well, I’m here. You’re so distant. Are you here, or have you gone? Where have you gone? Going off the rails with what we said. You swore you’d never come back home. Well, it ain’t no bother. Go ahead. I’ll take these pills and die off alone… Like I’m used to feel... Like I’m used to feel... Like you make me feel... Yeah, I think it was April… Yeah, I think it was April, or maybe it was July. You didn’t think I was able… You didn’t think I was able to make you break down and cry. Well, I’m able. Yes, I’m able. Well, I’m able to do what I want.

I Ain't Worth Savin' 03:41
lyrics
Mama said, “Put your faith in God.” “Jesus saves more often than not.” “Pray, boy. If you don’t, it’s a sin.” Lord knows, I ain’t worth savin’. Oh, no. I’ve sinned again. Can I still get into Heaven? Oh, no. I’ve sinned again. Is there a place for me in Heaven? If not, I’ll be happy in Hell. Father, help me. I’m in too deep. The valley of death is looking steep. “If I help you, you’d fall again.” “Sorry, son. You’re not worth savin’.” Oh, no. I’ve sinned again. Can I still get into Heaven? Oh, no. I’ve sinned again. Is there a place for me in Heaven? If not, I’ll be happy in Hell.

Robot 06:31
lyrics
Goddamn, I did it again. I made someone hate me. I got upset. I threw a fit. He made me angry. Oh, no. There’s blood on the floor. You called me crazy. I just lost it. He made me do it. I don’t want you to hate me. Perform: Lobotomy. If I was a robot, would you love me any more? Goddamn, I did it again. I made someone hate me. I got upset. I’m feeling sick. It’s making me lazy. Oh, no. There’s tears on the floor. You called me moody. I got depressed. I call it love. I don’t want you to hate me. Perform: Lobotomy. If I was a robot, would you love me any more? He laid me down and strapped me in. “The procedure won’t take long to begin.” “Go ahead. Do me in.” “Don’t worry, son. You won’t feel a damn thing.” If I was a robot, would you love me any more?

Ghost Decay 03:04
lyrics
Eye to eye with a gun. No more room left to run. No more places to hide. Now, it’s time to decide… And you’re hollow... It just takes one shot. And you swallow as you reach for God. Yeah, I still hear you when you call my name. Yeah, I still feel you. Did he save you, or are you just ghost decay?

Rubicon 04:50
lyrics
Watch out. I just took a step ahead. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’d walk than stay instead. Just watch me fall into the abyss. Further and further, I vanish in the mist. …And I’m not coming back. No, I’m not coming back. ‘Cause I’ve crossed my Rubicon and I’m never gonna return. Yeah, I’ve crossed my Rubicon and there is no “coming home.” Watch me walk this line. You paint your life and I’ll sketch mine. No one gets to choose what’s best for me. I’ve already chosen the life that I will lead. …And I’m not coming back. No, I’m not coming back. ‘Cause I’ve crossed my Rubicon and I’m never gonna return. Yeah, I’ve crossed my Rubicon and there is no, “coming home.” I’d rather sink and drown than to go through life without knowing what it’s like to be in the water. ‘Cause I’ve crossed my Rubicon and I’m never gonna return. Yeah, I’ve crossed my Rubicon and there is no, “coming home.”

The Smoking Revolvers Chicago, Illinois

Rock giants? Indie darlings? Nobody is certain if The Smoking Revolvers will conquer the world, or if their songs will ever reach beyond the bedroom. Both brash and apprehensive, this juxtaposition is what makes them arrestingly fresh and unconventional as a rock and roll band. ... more
