Heart is Open

Memorize the fortune
Think of everything you want me to be
Activate the infantry
Your creature comes alive
Somewhere on a windowsill
Is a jar with some dirt & a seed
What is it you're growing
When the creature comes alive?
We don't know
What difference it makes
When your heart is open
Your heart is open
Do you understand the logic
Behind the seven summer suns?
Do you understand the logic
Why the deer gets up & runs?
Do you understand the logic?
Whisper something secret to me
Sing it in a song
Hide it in a place
Where we both belong
You've got a picture
Hanging on your wall;
It's everything you wanted
Everything you wanted.

Space Opera

No disease to capture someone
More like a portrait
Not like a time bomb
Ill at ease to mix these together
I've seen how they do it
And done it two times before
History making sense of not making sense
Evil open doors
With a long twisted line
Little late to set the fracture
The spirit is willing
But the brain says, "Nein."
What you say is not so tempting
What you say is flowing backwards
What you say is do damn empty
What you say is tumbling backwards now
I believe that there's a picture
Bringing someone a world of delight
I believe that there's a future
Beaming someone through pathways of light
When you think about me
Does your heart beat faster?
When you think about me
Do you grab your blaster?

Super Crush

Megabytes in the morning
Solitaire in my head
I don't really feel like meeting
Was it something I said?
Furniture in the back room
I got rid of her bed
That thing was such a monster
I want to sleep instead
It's all a blur
We run every point into the ground
How many times can you say it?
"It's just common sense"
The world is ending
I eat my breakfast with a fork
I look at myself in the mirror
My hair is as crazy as I am
But I don't really care
Counting backwards from King
Where are all the Aces?
How many words can I find?
Ah, the super crush!

Your Hand
04:20
|

|
Your hand
Is as big as the knock on the door
And I come running.
The floating red balloon
Is the size of your face
Resolute and stunning.
Drive-thru's are a fountain of love
Drive-ins are the factory
Your hand is an icicle to me
Point out the trajectory
Heroes all dressed up in white
Forbidden conversations in the garage
Any way you look at it,
The past, present, and future are female.
Does anyone have a fault of fashion?
Does anyone have a tangential need?
Who is the one inside the window?
Who is the one you really want to know?
Why don't the masses gather in protest?
Why are we actors in yet another play?

Fair horizon
Called to the sea
No regrets from anyone
We'll look around for souvenirs
A truce with the blazing sun
Wading into the ocean
Matching the motion.
So true when the day is done
The body remembers
The push & the pull of the waves
A car hit the building
But we still got a decent meal
The three underneath the one umbrella
And sand beneath our feet
A silver flying thing
Jumped up near where you were
And dove back down
In search of a crown
For the beauty of the day

We're not waiting for Superman
We're not waiting for the Hall of Justice
We're not waiting for the Superfriends
To make the world alright.
We're not waiting for Superman
We're not waiting for Hall of Justice
We're not waiting for the Wonder Twins
To make the world alright.
I take fate into my own hands
Everyday
I want the good side to win.
It's true that what you give out
Will come back to find you.
Your own worst enemy is your indifference.
So be melancholy
And helpless if you wanna be
But no one is gonna save you
From yourself.

The Scowl

Did she get that scowl on the way?
Touchy subject, we're not afraid
Freeway rider, it's done
The role is never-ending.
Heightened by the square of the deal
Hands at 12 o'clock on the wheel
They tell me they know just how you feel
The scene is never-ending
It's not up to me
Reach out and put your heels together
It's not up to me
We dive in circles
Fate's our secret weapon
It's not up to me
Raise the bargain higher
Than they want it to be.
Your share of standing in line
Is not forgotten
The bag of rotten tin cans
Is long begotten
When the numbers are all eleven
Had so energy
The far from vacant
Wandering vagrant
We sow enmity
When we block the portal
Of immortal
Creativity:
The magic footprints
The song of sixpence
Let it go free
Bristling in your fingertips
Buzzing on your paused lips,
Perched and waiting
For the world.

We Clock So Many
03:15
|
|||
|
We dance so many
We push the notions up to the wall
And all this empire rents space inside my head
Don't push the analogy too far
You warp and then you spin it
We're back where we were
Sometimes waited for
Wholly incredible
We work to reach that golden summit
Hardly indelible
We clock so many
Marching for the malady
I remember you
You sang of the Lily of the Valley
You're so much bigger than a venue
And the chord that wouldn't remain
Find the need that tickled you
Until you were glowing
Turn the insight inside out
'Til the article is showing

Demons on Wheels Springfield, Illinois
Born from a desire to get down and dirty with some gritty garage rock, Demons on Wheels was founded by Kate Schwartz (End Times Trio, Tin Ghost, Forest Saints) in 2017. Initially planned to not exceed the skill of a teenage guitarist, the songs of Demons on Wheels have expanded to include more complex, angular, and skewed avenues. Buckle up and hang on!
