piece of my head the part that i dread, come on the heart in my chest it beat me to death, come on i’ve been lyin’ for too long sick on the night no breath in the light my hands taken back lost shimmer and snap, good god a pale full of lust she’s commin’ she must, you know i’ve been crying, for too long sick on the night no breath in the light piece of my head the part that i dread, come on drown in my smoke black death on approach, you know i’ve been dying for too long the more that i speak the quicker i leak my fingers run cold not meant to be old a piece of my head

dark walk on the town tonight give me one moment to make myself right blue horizon commin’ on down your groove is my groove better hold on tight stone hearted creature baby won’t you take me home cool grin alive beneath your eyes the arrow of love strikes me inside valley of power in the house of rain boilin’ down, down again stone hearted creature baby won’t you take me home smooth wind keeps you in disguise the hands of the goddess open up wide awake i find a welcoming stare a gift of love given to the sunrise stone hearted creature baby won’t you take me home

the skyline train leaves me what happened to the roads we walked? what was said, what we did, it took us out no beacon from the ride we sought there’s my shadow, there it sits on the banks of nowhere of nonsense and number, day after day the skyline train goes on to another set of lovers without the danger it gives light to their world and takes them there but for us it’s just a lantern gone out there’s my shadow there it sits on the banks of nowhere of nonsense and number, day after day not a day gone by, i haven’t trouble my tired eye, for that sky line train the heavens now ablaze with the marking steam engines defy gravity well i want you in my heart again but that ride you know it’s gone round the bend

Let It Be So 06:48

Shiver 03:08
caged in the rafter, jailhouse on the tier rest for my woes, should be coming in droves bore the lifted sand, from the stove of sun fan my lifted cold, should be a painful run shiver of the spider web in waist high water soggy plumes of wind a quip for the dreary dim magnets in my pocket, belt loops of haste candy inside a locket, shoelace ain’t no waste seven lies and seven ties, poison comes cheap seven flies and double eyes, cyclones start to creep shiver of the spider web in waist high water soggy plumes of wind a quip for the dreary dim bleak and blurry, smokestacks of fury stylized killings of a twisted man nifty rings fortune, sparkle in the maze quickness of a lightnin’ strike, rewoven in the light shiver of the spider web in waist high water soggy plumes of wind a quip for the dreary dim

from dynasty to democracy the start of headline hypocrisy less sold in the margin, of ecstasy limes grown in the garden of fallacy no dance eternal no chains or money it’s the living wire in the pit of thieves the den of angst in acquiring dreams from bleak hypocrisy to dead line the calls and lies of motor mouth swine to the brink and back without no shoeshine flagstaff stuck in the clock spring pantomime no dance eternal no chains or money it’s the living wire in the pit of thieves the den of angst in acquiring dreams just remember one thing evil ain’t nothin’ no clock to beat the caravan & hawk they run the street they run the street

about

Play it loud. This is a concept album. There lies a keyhole somewhere above, around, inside, all leading... well, you'll have to find out. The songs and stories peek into a once black and white existence, now multicolored in horror and exaltation. Take the ride in full. The band did; with blood and sweat as the seam to their vision quest into the tea room. The fierce groove hypnosis took place inside the one tracking room at Oil Can Studios in Rollinsford, NH. All tracks were cut live with guitar, bass, and drums. Fire in the Field expand and contract in a tight honesty along the path of true rock and roll. So paint your wagon, and paint it red.
