City Boy 02:19
So I dream And it was so real I sighed deep Do you know who you are? She asks As I walk into the lobby Red velvet capets Later I drive to her house Why I don't know A window smashes The water rises From somewhere inside I hear a phone ring What are you doing in my house?! I reply that I don't know I was curious how to sweep out the cold while there's leaves all over the ground Someone let the wind in I'm sorry Somewhere there's a river eroding The muffled voice of the man who takes the phone Sounds an awful lot just like me

DM'ing 02:15
I told myself, WHAT! I just have to stop this I keep telling myself that I'm gonna quit It's a F**king addiction I know And I'm probably hurtin' myself, BUT WHY! Does it always have to feel soooooo good Well I couldn't stop I just kept on through my list. Till I got to the one That I marked with a kiss. She's the girl that I've had my eyes on Make me proud C'mon and put up a fight Cause only one of us Is gonna make it out alive Well, that a girl You swept me off of my feet Now finish the job Or I'll make dice from your teeth

Tonight I wanna tell you a secret Tonight I'm gonna show you my dark side Tonight I said I'll tell you my secret Tonight I'm gonna show you the key to always The present and the past Let's start a fire Through these eye I give (uh-oh) You'll never see the light like this (oh-no) Let's crash a car Walk the earth with me (uh-oh) We'll never have to worry again (oh-no) Let's burn it down Take a chance with me baby Ask the devil for a kiss on the lips Let's go to far We'll make this world our playground, I swear Now, that I've told you me secret Now, that I've shown you what I have to give Now, can I kiss you sweetly Now, can I mix your life with mine so this party never ends Take a chance girl Come with me And we'll walk Hand in hand through time

Oh I love how you looked back at me a roared I can see you're delirious with the kill We walk the light less streets and the back alleys of the darkest towns I was lookin' for sin She was lookin' for thrills We came upon you in an empty bar Full of liquor with a guilty heart We bought a round of drinks and we asked to sit so that we could talk You were playin' it cool But I could see that you've killed The booze was flowin' but you wouldn't reveal So I read the thoughts you tried to conceal They said, Upstairs in the Hotel getting Cold..... cold Is the body of your lover , full of holes... holes You said he did you wrong, so you made it right... right Put a bullet through his heart and cut it out with a knife Kiss Me, I'm Strange Love me, I'm deranged Caught in my embrace you'll swoon I can make it feel like love If you give yourself to me I'll make you pure
5.
I'm walkin' down the street and what do I see? A single stranger twenty feet ahead of me He's doin' flips he's movin' like an acrobat I've never seen another human act like that Na na na na I'm getting closer but my eyes deceive me He grin a liars grin while lying on the fallen leaves And as I pass him I can feel him looking through my brain They won't believe you when you tell them, you will go insane
6.
This night draws out like a blade As straight as the path that I walk home As I stumble through the streetlamp spotlights I scrawl these words in a battered notebook There's strange movement up ahead, Inside my chest my heart is beating like a kick drum There's strange movement up ahead, I had a feeling he would catch me if I tried to run He comes to me on nights like these He promises me things that I cannot conceive But still, I can't get him to tell me his name I'm starting to think it was all just a dream But my dreams they just can't compare To the sight of him standing there It fills me with terror unknown Hypnotically shown, as I look in his eyes

Love Bites 03:11
White skin Cool as ice Smooth as porcelain Into his eyes I gaze And my thoughts swim Sinking deeper getting clearer, sinking deeper growing nearer Do you really want my gift? Promised I would never let This secret touch an others lips I don't think I should give you this I've tasted blood and I want more More, more, more Let me in My moonlight lover's come to Take me with him Just one more perplexing kiss And I'll be his Sinking deeper getting clearer, sinking deeper growing nearer Do you really want this curse? Then ask me and it shall be yours Within this blood, this sights you'll see The creature that you long to be I've tasted blood and I want more More, more, more It echoes through my mind Pass on to me what's be passed down to you
8.
I see you standing there Wearing sneakers and a skirt Searching through stacks of old records I wonder to myself Who's this perfect creature? With hair like moonless night How can I get her to notice me? Light Olive skin But her blood that flows within Holds the thoughts That I would love to taste The closer I get My pulse races But who is this guy? There goes my chance Just as I was almost beside you But as I walk by I can see by your smile And the look that's in your eyes Cries you love him

about

The mysterious Winnipeg art collective dabbles in lo-fi abrasive rock, garage scuzz and cinematic soundscapes that could have been composed by some mad scientist in a basement lab... The Moonlighters is a scary good album for fans of things that make noise in the night. - Rob Williams Winnipeg Free Press
