lyrics

Tell me what I should do? I walk around and I stare at the trails you left. I don't want to die just cause you're gone. I just want to live and be your truth. But your heart, your hearts, your heart is so far away. But my hands, my hands, my hands are instructable.

So tell me what they should do love? Cause I swear they used to work so well, but now you're immune. I'll keep you from your thoughts, is that what you want? I'll share all these thoughts, is that what you want? I'll give you what you want, is that what you want? I don't know, I don't know -- cause your heart, your heart, your heart is so far away. But my hands, my hands, my hands are instructable.

So tell me what they should do love -- cause I swear this used to work so well, but now you're immune, so immune, so immune!
Cause your heart, your heart, your heart is so far away. But my hands, my hands, my hands - these hands are instructable.

So tell me what they should do.

La Force
by La Force

La Force can start into Pump Up the Jam and blow it up and rebuild it into her own song The Tide in live concert. She has so many super powers. Listen and be under her spell. buttonfly

Wait Longer For Less
by NERVOUSMEN

Sometimes you just want to hear bass in your chest and kick out the jams and all your anger while listening to awesome drums and a band that doesn't stop. buttonfly

Really Well
by Mauno

The power of this band is in the spaces -- the gap as you leap over a swollen river. The breaks between guitar sounds that tap into your psyche. Vocals that hum in the dark just when you need them. buttonfly

Safer Off
