Off Front Street

Well the bomb was dropped that fateful day in October
Yours truly on the ADN cover
So I got lawyered up
I got the former DA of Anchortown
The DA of Anchortown
Why the hell would I
Drug my own drugs?
They must be in pain
Or sipping on the Haterade
Just lurking around the dog lot
Off Front Street
Off Front Street

Wanna Be Johnny

I just wanna be Johnny
Will you take the role of Marlena
I would settle, settle for Hattie
No it's never gonna work out
I quit trying long ago
I just wanna be Johnny
Will you be my, be my Stephen
I would settle, settle for Robert
No it's never gonna work out
That's what I have found out
I quit trying long ago
I just wanna, wanna be happy
But this ball of thread won't let me
In my head it's always unraveling
No it's never gonna work out
That's what I have found out
I quit trying long ago

Please Come Over

Please come over, bring the kids the dogs, the papers just come over
Aces, adverse trauma, PTSD, I told ya
It's hard to raise a blended family in the Railbelt
Please come over, I know that your'e not completely sober
Now's the time to break away, he's away I'll get you new tires for your car you'll
Make the country road by far
Come over, snap cards, NSF, broken promises that's over
I know that I am a tad bit older, I've seen a few things a time or two.
Please come over, yes your daughter's young but I adore her
Remember what Aaliyah said?
Age ain't nothing but a number
It's not over, we'll have to file that restraining order
Carpools, tacos, school nights, it'll all get normal
Living on the hillside with me and the Colonel
By October, the garnishments should all be in their order,
Just in time for PFD
But we'll have to wait and see how many Garnishee's there are because
He was a deadbeat.

The Falcon Sleeps Alone
04:10
|
|||
|
I wanted to show them, the bigwigs at corporate
That my auto car could fly
They called it a Pinto
I called it a Mizar
The falcon flies alone
The falcon's all alone
But you always insist upon using
Your boyish good looks and charm
Winning over hearts and minds is something
You look at like selling cars
God I wish I was selling cars
So much simpler selling used cars
He wanted to drink blood
But just not any blood
The blood of the young and dumb
Stalin said, Sounds like fun.
But you drank the wrong one
Now the falcon sleeps alone
The falcon's all alone.
But you always insist upon using
Your boyish good looks and charm
Winning over hearts and minds is something
You look at like playing cards
God I wish I was playing cards
So much simpler playing those cards
The falcon's all alone

Photosynthetic

They keep on going back to it
It's easy cause it works
Lock her up, seize her pizza shop
These dense operatives are jerks
She keeps on going back to him
He says he has a plan
On how he'll make things great again
But you're not responsible for the
Cognitive dissonance I see
Every time I stare at my screen
It's killing me
The ice caps keep on melting
Mudslides keep on Cali Cascading
Water rationing leads to Cape Fear
But you're not responsible for the
Photosynthetic capacity of earth
I know it hurts
To be so powerless over these things
Fiery Inga, you're so mean

Cause You're Worth It
04:44

The pen is dry
My life is mine
When I do stupid shit
Sometimes I mean it
Most times I don't
It's just how I roll
I know I heard you wrong
That's not what you meant
I know I heard you wrong
No that's not what you meant
My ears will bleed
I'll do the deed
But she loves to stir the pot
Just as it should be
A women of her stature
Then I say stupid shit
Sometimes I mean it
Most times I don't
It's just how I roll
I know I heard you wrong
That's not what you meant
I know I heard you wrong
That's not what you meant
I know I heard you wrong
No that's not what you meant
I know I heard you wrong
No that's not what you meant
I know I heard you wrong

Disappear Completely
03:05
|

|
Just divest yourself from everything
Just unplug because
They're not listening
No they're not listening
Just expose yourself to everything
Just check out because
No one's listening
Yes no one's listening
How to disappear completely
To disappear completely
Just check out because
No one's listening
Yes no one's listening
Just zone out because
No one's listening
No one's listening
How to disappear completely
To disappear completely
To disappear completely
How to disappear completely
To disappear completely

We Missed the Exit

Was in the wrong place at the wrong time
He should've listened to his mom this time
But the gorilla saved his life
Yes a primate saved his life
To this day she's still in Brookfield
To this day they think he's lying
I didn't come back in on time
I told my cousins I'd be fine
That night the bear he saved my life
To this day they think I am lying
To this day they laugh and say I am lying
Won't you please believe me
Was in the wrong place at the wrong time
Swam past the breakers and the signs
Then the shark he saved my life
Yes a fish saved my life
To this day they think I am lying
To this day they laugh and say I am lying

Parker Longbough Anchorage, Alaska
While Longbough has proven capable of mining genres all over the indie spectrum in search of the perfect pop hook, Off Front Street finds Longbough mostly back in his wheelhouse, that is, playing a style of 90’s indie rock that you could find on an album by Pavement, Guided by Voices, or Dinosaur Jr. ... more
