3,fight-song,1,2007-06-01 00:00:00,Hallelujah The Hills,,"<p>Written by Ryan Walsh, &copy; 2007 Reverse The Tape Decks (ASCAP)</p>","<p>trouble comes, the mail arrives<br />
I pick apart a broken watch<br />
I'm on call with astronauts<br />
here's an acrobatic lot<br />
Telemundo is for free<br />
but not something that you could see<br />
everybody falls asleep when oxygen dies</p>

<p>hundred horses, hundred wines<br />
that's a secret, that's a lie<br />
here's a planetoid connection<br />
that they caught and tried to hide<br />
paranoid's a boring game<br />
jealousy is just the same<br />
hit me with the hammer when the light turns green</p>

<p>plaintiff's here, jury's gone<br />
down at the Dairy Mart<br />
absolutely no exception<br />
specially for you<br />
made inventions, broke conventions<br />
raised a glass to new pretensions<br />
meta-meta-meta-and the novel is dead</p>

<p>no more talk of mathmagicians<br />
numbers can't be ever tricked<br />
I propose a superstition<br />
always mumbling, never sick<br />
a way to increase your sales<br />
never question, never fail<br />
I was born in Vermont<br />
she was born in Vermont<br />
and we'll all die in Vermont hallelujah the hills</p>",3,1,
28,gurus,1,2009-07-01 00:00:00,Put The Gurus In Charge,,"<p>Written by Ryan Walsh, &copy; 2009 Reverse The Tape Decks (ASCAP)</p>","<p>here we are where we thought we began<br /> lost and high and burnt out with no back up plan<br /> and it&rsquo;s such a disgrace to leave all these kids weeping in the van</p>
<p>so we&rsquo;re traversing North Dakota<br /> using only cartoon commerce maps to navigate<br /> but there&rsquo;s always an unlabeled tape<br /> lying in an unmarked box<br /> in an ill-kept archive<br /> and can you guess who that tape is keeping alive?</p>
<p>the first thing to know is that you can never go back there<br /> the second thing to know is that I&rsquo;m the one who sent you the dream<br /> in the basement of your house oh sunny Jean<br /> where you writhed and you coughed up and you screamed</p>
<p>call the cops<br /> put the gurus in charge<br /> cuz here comes an instructing hand<br /> to place upon your lack of plans<br /> and lead you to the tapes in the garage<br /> can you guess which false prophet is still at large?</p>
<p>you fell in love with the woman sent here to kill you<br /> and now you&rsquo;ll kill the people that sent her to you<br /> she&rsquo;s the sweetest assassin in the states<br /> has a tattoo of the motto of The Fates</p>
<p>you were brought here by design and now you&rsquo;ll live until you die<br /> you were brought here by design and now you&rsquo;ll live until you die<br /> you were brought here by design but don&rsquo;t take that as a sign<br /> you were brought here by design and now you&rsquo;ll live until you die</p>
<p>you&rsquo;ll spend the next year always looking over your shoulder<br /> and combing through the paper for some elusive clue<br /> you press rewind, and then you press play, then you pause<br /> it&rsquo;s time to hear what you thought you lost</p>",3,3,

<p>I&rsquo;m coming back not without injuries <br /> I&rsquo;ll make my repairs up on your roof <br /> You lost hope when you read my obituary <br /> I&rsquo;m here to tell you the papers were faked <br /> They threw some mannequin in a lake <br /> If you moved on well you made a mistake</p>

of lonely feelings on my factory floor<br>
i've divvied the sweetest memories<br>
into separate piles by atlantic shores<br>
I drank my way to the top<br>
and then I smoked myself through the door<br>
trying to reach you again<br>
i'm the mountain that wanted more</p>

<p>too wasted to hear the sirens<br>
the far out whinings of some fucked up kid<br>
i'm a beacon for true conspiracy<br>
up front heresy, i'm ok<br>
but I could only be me<br>
but my ways left less to adore<br>
I did the best that I could<br>
i'm the mountain that wanted more</p>

<p>at first I thought I was ocean<br>
at first I thought I was trees<br>
at first I thought I was engine<br>
but something happened to me<br>
I didn't end up a mansion<br>
i'm not some oak heavy door<br>
I couldn't live with a human<br>
i'm the mountain that wanted more</p>",3,12,

Can u carve a new world<br />
From some old clay?<br />
I keep waking up surprised I get another day<br />
