lyrics

Claret feels just like a severed limb
Sipping on her tonic and her gin
God, thank god

Claret is naive, as hell in fact
Will not hear the whisper’s ‘hind her back
God, thank god

And Claret is sure picky with her teeth
And Claret twitches as she falls asleep
No one trust’s her snake’s lips as they speak
Hissing “Things aren’t as you all perceive!"

Stella isn’t thirsty, like the rest
She’s clean and chaste, under a dirty dress
God, thank god

Stella sling’s paint surrealistically
Wear’s her last canvas upon her sleeve
God, thank god

I want to see how Stella shake’s the sheets
I want Stella shaking them all with me
I’ll box both my own ear’s in hope’s to keep
Claret’s comeback plea’s out of their reach

Build the fire
Build it higher

Your a spoiled cypher
I’m an apathetic wretch
Anti-Opus, grand designer
Were the scar acrossed her chest
Give it all to me
I’m not afraid to bleed
Beg forgiveness
Once inking the deed

Stella threw me down into her bed
Pulled my clothes and hair upon my head
God, thank god

Stella held me till the night’s death nell
Kept me warm inside her sleeping shell
God, thank god

Now I know how Stella shakes the sheets
Cause I got Stella shaking them with me
Ride the surf cause I’ve got all I need
Hold my breath that things stay peachy keen

I’m sitting here
As the ship’s taking on water
I’m draining the hull
While the captain scream’s “CALL HER!"
I never led on
That I would be ok
I just hope she can swim
So much better than me

Then the mast hits the deck
And the waves start to kiss
My eye’s give away
All the sleep that I’ve missed
The pills won’t keep
Me afloat anymore
So I’ll sink to the depths
While she head’s for the shore

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
