West of PCH
I wanna live my life west of PCH
With the missile commander,
I'm seeing lights in the sky with my psychic eye,
I got my astral projection,
I need a new sound-sation for my hungry mind
Or I'll die of starvation,
The meaning of life's an alternate groove
And it's gone in a moment,
Go ask the theologian.
The millipede leads an alien invasion,
we'll make our stand on Redondo Pier,
My tractor-beam is aiming for the coastline,
I wanna live my life west of PCH.
The unseen hand has a house on the strand,
He's the king of the harbor,
I can't remember if it's either / or,
But paranoia is normal,
The masonic lodge and the shadow band,
are keeping it secret,
The skating circle is on sacred grounds,
The truth is beneath it,
No you cannot escape it.
IIOED and the Missile Commander,
We'll take the beach at Manhattan Pier,
Trackball in my hand, I am the fabulous disaster,
I wanna live my life west of PCH.
In my imagination
Life is so beautiful,
I see a black hole turning,
Recording all of you,
Something is so familiar,
Something keeps us apart,
From alpha to omega,
Take me back to the start.
I'm the Millipede leading an alien invasion,
I'll see you there on Hermosa Pier,
My teenage dream is rising from the ocean,
I wanna live my life west of PCH

Down at Sharkies on the Pier,
Larry's a real ladies-man,
Rocking the leisure suit,
in white polyester with ultra-wide shoulder pads,
If love is a game,
Larry plays to score,
Posting on Craig's List,
No Strings Attached in the Land of Lounge Lizards.
True love
Is waiting for a green light,
Searching for the perfect girl,
He's got to be Mr. Right,
Just a sucker for a pretty face,
Can we take it back to your place?
I can't get enough,
Of looking for love in all the wrong places.
He finds a Daddy's girl,
who's easily attached,
If she doesn't get her way,
She will key his car and delete him on facebook,
Bottles of champagne,
Acting like he's won the lottery,
Shopping at Tiffany's,
She charged it to his room and lost him on the dance floor.
True love
Is waiting for a green light,
He's searching through the classifieds,
Looking for the perfect bride,
It could start as something casual,
That turns into something long-term,
He can't get enough,
Of looking for love in all the wrong places,
Bad girls
Never come in last,
When he wants to settle down,
She pawns his ring and moves on to the next clown,
True love
Is waiting for a green light,
He is searching for the perfect girl,
He's got to be Mr. Right,
Just a sucker for a pretty face,
Can we take it back to your place?
I can't get enough
Of looking for love in all the wrong places.

Living on Adrenaline
01:15
|
|||
Friday night and I'm looking for action
Drag-race on Pershing Blvd.
Feel the rush of the acceleration
Renegade under the LAX stars
Step on the gas and take the lead
You can try but you can't catch me
Feel the world turn inside my mind
Synapses fire for the very first time
Living on Adrenaline (x4), you gotta fight to survive
Main Street and the laws of attraction
Somehow trouble always finds you
Try to walk in the other direction
Let someone else pay their dues
Ghosts in the sand looking up at me
Trapped in a struggle for eternity
Feel alive as the moment arrives
You can run or you can fight to survive
Living on Adrenaline (x4), you gotta fight to survive

Back Together Again
01:57
|
|||
We've been gone for awhile,
had to get our own place,
had to find a garage,
had to get our own space.
We got a room full of amps
Where we turn it up loud,
The PA feeds back,
But it's part of the sound,
The South Bay's calling
And the Brixton's sold out,
It's Locals Only
When we're at the Lighthouse,
Down at Keegan's Pub
with Felony Ron,
We're gonna give 'em hell
'Cause we're HF&L,
We're not like the bands
who the labels invent,
We're the punks next door
who ignore your complaints,
The neighbors say
we're disturbing the peace,
But we got a permit
You can call the police,
The HOA
asked us to leave
so we threw a party
That was BYOB,
We called up all our friends
Bought a couple of kegs,
We were pool-side drinking
to 60 days of free rent.
And we don't worry,
we've got nothing to hide,
We've got nowhere to go,
because we've already arrived.
Back together again,
yeah, we're back together again.
Together again,
yeah, we're back together again,
South Bay for life.

Gotta Go
01:23
|
|||
Black out
Walking back home
On imperial
I'm invisible
I gotta go, gotta go
I gotta go, gotta go
After dark
Down in Rec Park
We're a brotherhood
It's our neighborhood
I gotta go, gotta go
I gotta go, gotta go
Under the fence
Crawled inside
By the devil's horns
A secret corridor
I gotta go, gotta go
I gotta go, gotta go
Remember when you said you'd never go home
That you'd rather be alone
That you'd make it on your own
Well you finally got your way
//verse 2
Jump the gate
Inside the Grand Tropez
We were trespassers
We were Raiders
I gotta go, gotta go
I gotta go, gotta go
On the stairs
Behind the blinds
We would hide there
We would spy there
I gotta go, gotta go
I gotta go, gotta go
Take a chance
Learn to slam dance
It's anarchy
At Velocity
Remember when you said you'd never go home
That you'd rarther be alone
That you'd make it on your own
Well you finally got your way

8-Ball
02:20
|

I see the challenge
I keep my eye on the prize
I like the competition
It helps me realize
The only person in this world
Who can hold me back
Lives deep inside of me
I can channel all the power in my heart
It's razor sharp
I control my reality
//chorus
It's intangible
It's intentional
I'm invincible
Never scratch on the eight ball
I'm delusional
I'm irrational
Incomprehensible
Never scratch on the eight ball
I feel the pain
It only drives me more
I won't let my strength fail
I'm going to settle the score
I have this feeling
That I know will never leave me
It lives deep inside my soul
I close my eyes and focus
I can find it in the moment
I will acheive this goal
I'm intangible
I'm intentional
I'm invincible
I never scratch on the eight ball
I'm delusional
I'm irrational
Incomprehensible
I never scratch on the eight ball

Family
02:27
|

I roamed from Venice to Malaga Cove
And back again to El Segundo
From PCH to the beach
Growing up on the South Bay streets
Joined a punk bank and played every dive
Hauled my amp up the 405
Dropped fliers at Restyle
This is for my friends who made it worthwile
Don't feed your heart to the sharks
Don't let them tear your dreams apart
I've got you and you've got me
We are all one family
I moved into the great unknown
And lived my life from show to show
I've got your back and you've got mine
Spent every day on the strand getting high
Joined a punk bank and played every dive
Hauled my amp up the 405
Dropped fliers at Restyle
This is for my friends who made it worthwile
Don't feed your heart to the sharks
Don't let them tear your dreams apart
I've got you and you've got me
We are all one family

Friends Forever
01:52
|
|||
It didn't take us long to find the edge of the world
What would happen now
When we looked down
We couldn't wait to share what we found
One by one, we brought our friends here
And ignored our fears
As we stepped nearer
Was it really such a bad idea?
We were friends forever
And I wish that you were here
In the back of my mind for eleven years
I wonder why it was you
If it was me what would you do?
I've felt guilt and you've been missed
You saved my from the precipise
We were running down the Dunes
It's how I remember you
We would walk out on the pier
Look at the sky and wonder why?
You never get to say goodbye
We were friends forever

Entitlementia
02:28
|
|||
I'm living at home
Don't need to clean my clothes
I'm watching TV
I record over your shows
I'm raiding the fridge
I'm drinking your last beer
Don't treat me like a child
Or else I'll go wild
I need therapy
For my anxiety
I need a 2nd opinion
I need a new prescription
Entitlementia
Spreading like bacteria
There's no panacea
For workaphobia
I'm driving your car
You'll find its out of gas
I'm using your phone
I'm drinking from your glass
I'm raiding the fridge
I'm drinking your last beer
Don't treat me like a child
Or else I'll go wild
I need therapy
For my anxiety
Don't need a 2nd opinion
I need a new prescription
Entitlementia
Spreading like bacteria
There's no panacea
For workaphobia

Eye of the Storm
02:13
|
|||
Sometimes life is unexpected
It can throw you a curve-ball
You can go from the top of the world
To crawling on the floow
An unstoppable force on an unchanging course
We will ride through the eye of the storm
We won't conform, we will break through the wall
We'll ride through the eye of the storm
We've all been there where you have to start again
And pick yourself off the ground
What's important is you don't give in
It's what makes you a better man
An unstoppable force on an unchanging course
We will ride through the eye of the storm
We won't conform, we will break through the wall
We'll ride through the eye of the storm
I won't let them get the best of me
I won't lie down and say quit
I know that I'll find an alternative
I know that I'm stronger than this
An unstoppable force on an unchanging course
We will ride through the eye of the storm
We won't conform, we will break through the wall
We'll ride through the eye of the storm

Weekend
01:01
|
|||
Cruising down the strand when the sun goes down on Hermosa Beach
The punk rockers on the block are spinning Iggy Pop
The god-father of rock 'n' roll
Dancing with my girl when we're out on the town at the underground
Knee-high socks as we do the Cretin Hop to the endless summer night
Another endless summer night
Weekend, live and die for the Weekend, never sleep on the weekend
