lyrics

’d heard tale
Of the holy grail
Out amongst the cacti and sand

A place so old
Or so I’d been told
A place to a turn a boy into man

Direction unknown
Wild oats to be sewn
No X marked the spot to behold

A secret well kept
Handed down between friends
The name worth more than its weight in gold

Arizona
Arizona
Arizona

Red rocks, red stones
Harbor buffalo bones
Sedona, hear me calling your name?

Sifting bottom to the top
Never ever need to stop
Humming “Some things will never change"

Great gorge to the sin
Bookend to southern kin
A silver cavern birthing the lore

Port western coast
Starboard Spaniards ghost
My dreams rest on Havasu’s floor
Someday I hope they’ll wash to the shore

Arizona
Arizona
Arizona
Arizona

You want yours too?
I fucking want everything
Crash and burn
Or maybe crash and sing
Dig a deeper grave
And baby climb on in
Start a couple of fires
And burn another
And burn another
And burn another bridge

Hidden Track: Shut Me Out

Its been stressful
Its been strange
I’ve rocked our boat
And you’ve cursed my name

Limb from limb
You can tear me apart
Like a blood thirsty bear
After my black heart

Well darlin’
I don’t mind
If you scream and shout

But sweetness please
Don’t you shut me out

I’ll be your Frankenstein
At wind mill retreat
You be the villagers
Armed to the teeth

I’ll be your Dracula
In search of necks
You be the stake
Sinking through my chest

I’ll be your Hunchback
Of Notre Dame
I’ll be your wolfman
With devils palm

You be Pilate
Put me on the cross
You be Katrina
I the southern gulf

Well darlin’
I don’t mind
If you scream and shout

But sweetness please
Don’t you shut me out

I’ll be the Titanic
To your iceberg
You’ll be the steaming train
To my buffalo herd

You’ll be the jaws of life
To my front drivers door
I’ll be the blocks of ice
To your molten lava core

Well darlin’
I don’t mind
If you scream and shout

But sweetness please
Don’t you shut me out
But sweetness please
Don’t you shut me out
I will beg and plead
Just don’t you
Shut me out

Disco Machine Gun Wilmington, Delaware

The idea of Disco Machine Gun began in late 2006 with a few riffs. The moniker was created during a drunken one man dance at a party in May 2008. The actual band began work a couple days later. Since then members have come and gone and many a song has been written. Disco Machine Gun will never end. ... more
