I feel it comin'
I feel it comin'
It's a big, big wave and it's gonna knock me down
Gonna knock me down
I feel it shakin'
Feel it shakin'
It's a big, big quake and it's gonna knock me down
Gonna knock me down
And I will stay down
And I will stay down
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold
I feel it squeezin'
Feel it squeezin'
It's a big, big snake and it's gonna wrap around
Gonna wrap around
I feel it drainin'
Feel it drainin'
It's a big, big sieve and I'm gonna let it out
Gonna let it out
And I will stay down
And I will stay down
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold
Blanket so warm, blanket so warm
Blanket so warm and the day is cold

Misstep from shaky footing
Cracks in the asphalt leaking
We're under what we're after
We stumble into traffic
The ground gives out and opens
We lunge and look for handholds
Devoid of any purpose
Our eyes swim to the surface
Our eyes swim to the surface
Our eyes swim to the surface
We pile onto cop cars
And wait for more instructions
Your face in mid-explosion
reflects the light and ashes
we've whittled down our walls
we've turned us into wolves
Devoid of any purpose
Our eyes swim to the surface
Our eyes swim to the surface
Our eyes swim to the surface
So sick gotta lift people from their cages
People are contagious
People are contagious
So sick I'll build monoliths we will raise them
We will raise them
We will raise them
So sick gotta lift people from their cages
People are contagious
People are contagious
So sick I'll build monoliths we will raise them
We will raise them
We will raise them

Stage Fright
02:16
|

Face paint on
Alarm clock shrieks
A six week run
My knees are weak
Curtains up
Expect defeat
At tree sloth speed
But now there's scenes to steal
And a sleight-of-hand reveal
When the dry ice clears
It's just stage fright
And on a cold night
I'm feeling hot lights
'Round here
Boredom crush
Stuck in seaweed
But I feel the drums
Ferocious beat
Kick your legs
Produce some heat
Get through the week
But now there's scenes to steal
And a sleight-of-hand reveal
When the dry ice clears
And now there's scenes to steal
And a sleight-of-hand reveal
When the dry ice clears
It's just stage fright
And on a cold night
I'm feeling hot lights
Up here
Pull at the cracks
Rip off the sheets
It's cold in here
So plant your feet
Still got some strength
Still got some teeth
Your neck looks sweet

Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first
Lost the ground beneath my feet
Deep into your arms I sink
This muck is sucking quick I think
They don't offer anything
You and I got rope at least
Lasso it around a tree
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first
The water's spinning faster now
I'm clinging a bit tighter now
I'm proving I'm a fighter now
The ship is splitting at the seams
I make my raft with lightning speed
I throw my weight against the deep
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first into whirlpools
Face first

The Lady Vanishes
02:35

Kids line up to slide
Down the groove in your forehead
Was it something I said
Words sucked out in a vacuum
Found face down in a pool with alligators and quicksand
Try to loosen your jaw
There's bald spots in the toothbrush
You had a lazier face then
We bought 'em 2 for a dollar
Suppose we gather our things and go
Results are coming in way too slow
All I ever wanted was to think that you were happy
So tell me that you're happy
As you're turning away
Your only eye twitches
A sudden move to the door
And you haven't been heard from since
Suppose you never come back around
Alone we cover a lot more ground
Control beyond anything I've found
But it's a curse man
It's so much worse than it sounds

Rebecca
03:42
|
|||
Last night I dreamt you were with me
This old house still welcomed entry
And as you turned to face me
We went sliding out into the sea
We clung to each other
As water's crashing down on us
You whisper "To show my true colors
To you would defeat the purpose
And this all withers between us
And you couldn't live with that"
Now if you say that it makes you happy
I'll burn the leaves off of the trees
Winter whenever you say so
Turn our lives off as a slideshow
To pass off for family and friends
If there was only some way you could tell me
Whatever you want to compel me
"You're perfect in every way."
She squinted and sainted away
And left me alone in this place
Cold blue flames
Chairs and chains
I can't say
Why I stay any...
Rebecca you left me with
Rebecca I want you to
Rebecca how could you be
Rebecca don't tell me I'm
Rebecca don't hold me to
Rebecca you kept me from
Rebecca if only you
Rebecca you told me to
Oh, Rebecca don't make me go
Oh, Rebecca it's all I can
Oh, Rebecca it's all I can do

Yeah I got glass stuck in my hands

Please get it out please get it out

But I might bleed out might bleed out
Might bleed out

Might bleed out

I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much

Blissful ignorance was just in my grasp
Blissful ignorance was just in my grasp
But it cracks so easy
It cracks so easy
It cracks so easy
It cracks so easy
I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much

I confess
When I spoke I drained my moats
I ran into the hurricane I'm looking for the center
My Face is full of bullet rocks I'm knocking can I enter
Made a mess so I confess

Shadow Of A Doubt

Dying on a vine on the 5th of July
The celebration was delayed for rain
Stuck behind parades crossing 17th and Main
Some people have places to be
But I don't
You're ten seconds through the crosswalk
Sneaking home
You've had some trouble with the top lock
We can stand behind you
Monsters to invite you over for Sunday meal
But I won't put on my Sunday best
And you can stay in my room
Did you say I was your favorite?
Woke up and today is exactly like yesterday
But now you're here
Your nose is in the papers and the Germans are relentless
But that's so many miles away
And I won't be this young for much longer
Longing to show
What I wrote about you last summer
We can stay behind
You said you'd find the time for me
Your promises are fine
But the kerosene and wine doesn't suit me
So tell me what's wrong
I can try to play along
But can you get me out of here
And now you see what I do
And sure I’ll stay in your room
'Cos you're my favorite too
Yeah you're my favorite too
You wanna know what's wrong
Well if you play along
You'll find nothing is wrong
You'll find nothing is wrong
You'll find nothing is wrong
We'll never be hungry we're surrounded by pigs

The 39 Steps

I'm looking at the angle of that staircase
Rotting steps slope 85 degrees
Don't worry that one of us might fall through
Cause I'm handcuffed to you

Notorious
02:43
|

Find a place to meet me
In the basement by the drain
It proves secluded
Underintruded
It can't amount to strain
Broken disguise
Talented liars will turn away
How did you let it get this far?
Who were you trying to be?
Why do you make me dance and sing
With a jerk on the string
Broken disguise
Talented liars will turn away
You'll never hide what anonymity buys you anyway
Before you noticed
Rode into focus
Before we had our reasons
Before it froze between us
You know you're known for it
Before you noticed
Rode into focus
Before we had our reasons
Before it froze between us
You know you're known for it

Strangers On A Train

I once was a man but now I'm lost
Still pounding the flesh my demons cost
This bent stalactite in my gut
Crushed my desire into disgust
I don't need a speech on what you've got
Some version of peace you conjured up
I once was a man but now I'm lost
I once was a man but now I'm lost
Try it try it stop me
Quiet quiet watch me
Try it try it stop me
Quiet quiet watch me

SIT SIT SIT SIT
Got half a blueprint for some rocket skates
And once they're built I'll be fast
I'll build them soon
For now I'll
SIT SIT SIT SIT
Deep analyses of photographs
Of what I do if i were there
But I'm not
So I'll
SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT
Sit here by my window
I kick kick kick but the glass is thick
And I sit here by my window
And watch the world go by
As I stay at home sit alone down a road
Into the foam deep below the rabbit hole
Gotta get out right now
Sit here by my window
And I kick kick kick
But the glass is thick
Sit here by my window
And I kick kick kick
But the glass is thick
And I kick kick kick
And I kick kick kick
As I sit here by my window
Sit here by my window
Kick kick kick
But the glass is thick

Britain's bathed in chemical clouds
Ashes settled in our houses and mouths
The doomsday hobos are laughing out loud
Eyelids sagging like the leaves in the fall
Wondering what it feels like to feel nothing at all
IV dripping like a metronome
Handfuls, landfills, and pockets of mud
Won't help much in the upcoming flood
Your last words came with a sickening thud
Arteries bursting like molecular bonds
Hoping for the sound of ten atomic b-bombs
Instead I'm getting smothered by impossible calm
Always dancing in his sad clown cloak
Twirling and wincing and spinning his sulk
The cactus carpet came cheaper in bulk
Cheated on my taxes but my rap sheet is pure
The other thing the lightning man told me is sure
Get by by believing they'll come up with a cure
What's the trouble with Harry?
Well he's half a gut full of Victorian wine
But his veins are riddled with bullets and brine
The chicken fried steak he's hiding behind
Pterodactyl swooping pretty close to our cave
Asteroid coming gonna blow us away
Hold me close, hold me close we'll be okay
The next year's plans are swept to the shelves
Cold sweats come in elevens and twelves
The gravesite witches cross themselves
What's the trouble with Harry
Palms on the ground nostril loaded with dirt
Pushing up always hurts more than it looks
Put another foot in front of another foot
Put another foot in front of another foot

To Catch A Thief
02:47

Saw the thickening smoke through the center of town
You were posing for pictures in your prisoner's gown
If only you could have seen the executioner's face
Alternating currents have him frozen in place
Shoot at anything moving through your field of view
Please aggressively target anyone in a suit
It was you in that inkblot, I know for sure
We'll invent diseases and destroy the cures
Let's go on a crime spree
Through hostile territory
Let's start some entertainment
And as we drive through the flames
We hear them chanting your names
They fill their boots with champagne
Now I need something explained
What'd you tell me to do?
What you told me I've gone and done
What'd you tell me to do?
What you told me I've gone and done

Frenzy

Frenzy
Overflowing anger foaming
Frenzy
Confronted and provoked
All the locks are broke
I've got vertebrae exposed and
Swam until my legs were broken
Crawled to shore the shore was molten
Mothership explodes
Frenzy
You wanted this to blow
You're the one who goes first

The Wrong Man

Tied to the tracks and kidnapped by dragons
And I promised you Superman
But I am the wrong man
I proved that I can't keep you intact
And I hope that you can
Cause I am the wrong man

We Will Shatter
02:53

This feels like more
Than I can handle right now
I hit the floor
With my face in a race to the bottom right now
Kick down your door
Covered in scrapes
Tore my cape on the wild thing's terrible claws
And everything I practiced saying just came out in a pregnant pause
But I'm about to hit this diamond in its super secret flaw
We will shatter
We will shatter
We will shatter
Let's grip the rungs of this alien ocean ladder
Let's fill our lungs and plunge through liquid matter
Deep down we clung
Our scuba suits in tatters
It's so much fun
We can carve out a space in this rusted sunken ship
In these multi-colored waters to a deep sleep we would slip
Dreaming of the things we never dare let slip
We will shatter
We will shatter
We will shatter
We will shatter

The Birds

The dance of strange new air
Through the windows to our rooms
It ends the quarantine
You knew we'd save ourselves
If you gave us half the chance
We'll make our exit now
Through your crumbling point of view
Chandeliers are bursting into flames
But the furniture is freezing just the same
We're the flood that had to come
Plunging upwards to the sun
We'll be keeping you blacked up for now
There was nothing you could do
There was nothing you could do
Camera angles capture the premiere
Ultimatums rung out for birds to hear
Temporarily retreat to reattack at faster speeds
We'll be leaving you fucked up for now
One or two left to keep an account

Vertigo

I want to be you
I have nothing to hide
This life of yours
It is my guide
I hold everything against you
Dancing cheek to cheek
In this moonlit cave
Where the water creeps
In between us
But I won't let it keep us apart
No I won't let it keep us apart
We'll always be here together
We'll always be here together
We'll always be me together
We'll always be me

Flies in the face of a giant eye
And there is no surface that can you hide
From this giant and perfect eye
And I'm starting to think that I'm
A spark-sputtering robot to this eye
And once all my gears have been realigned
Once I'm meticulous and resigned
Then all my functions can be strip-mined
Give me a stimulus I'll comply
Now all of the space that I've got left's
between the top of my legs and the bottom of my desk
Choreographed to stake a fence around
The infinite things that you can fit inside a head
Something's come in
Something bad
But according to the tests
According to the tests
There's nothing I can do
I'm coming back to this world
'm coming back to this world
Cause something's come in
Something bad
But according to the tests
According to the tests
There's nothing I can do
But there's never been a test to what I can do
Just bending back sitting still
And keeping track of all my shit
And showing up on time
But we're all on Mr. Hand's time
But Mr. Hand don't seem concerned that he's wasting our time
Hey Mr. Hand why you taking my time when I don't have very much time
Hey Mr Hand why you taking my time when I don't have very much time
Hey tiny caste clutching onto my spine and sucking stealing my life
It breaks you inside cos there's just so many things you can do with my life

I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much
I think I know a little too much
And all the voices said
Every channel's tuned to my favorite station
Scraping away the bursts of noise
With a million lights on
I keep them all on till the circuits blow
Cos every voice is screaming for complete attention
Every thought needs to get away right now
In my fight or flight song
Sometimes I feel like I'm beating at a wall
Someday it's gonna fall
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
The future's not ours to see
The future is ours to make
The future is ours to make

tttremors New York, New York
tttremors is John and Mike. Ex-Strikes Again! and Get Help. In 2009, they began a project that veered and got weird.Noises
and loops became songs, named after Hitchcock films to sort them.Themes in those movies (fear, terror, love, loss, psychological warfare) became song subjects, so titles stuck.
John is also in The Triceratops (NY), Mike’s in Home Remedy (DC/NY)
