When they kicked out the lights I didn’t mind
We packed up all of our things by suppertime
And sing to the miserable of which I’ll never join
Re-invent the rituals from which we were born
And the Queen of the Mountain Tops will rise
And lasers will shoot from her eyes
Happy Anniversary, Your Majesty!
‘Cause it’s time

Miserable Living
02:20
|

|
I’m the Hall of the Mountain King
You’re my fountain of blood
We got swept up in the wind but now we stagnate here like dust in the rug
Ewww... I’m tired of remember whens
Tired of this miserable living
And every time I clinch my fist I should be busy biting my tongue
And every time I spread my wings I tuck them back cause I’m ashamed of the things I’ve done
Ewww... It’s kinda growing thin
Tired of this miserable living
And I’ve seen the rocket ship go up
And I’ve seen the sky knock it right back down
Tired of this miserable living

Edge Of The Bed
03:00

Hey. Sitting on the stack of the racks. Cause you like it.
Hey. Waiting for a tap on the back. Where's your sidekick?
And you saunter down the street in your c-sucker's hat
It's a young man's game nothing new about that
And I wanted to go with you even though they said you were strange
Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for something to change
Hey. Waiting for the people to stir. Cause you like it.
Hey. Who you think I thought you were? Are you psychic?
And you roll like you know but it's nothing like that
And the history's mean so you refuse to look back
And I'll take a bit of credit for all the mess you've arranged
Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for something to change
Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for something to change
And the pearl-snapping motherfuckers won't compromise
Sitting on the edge of the bad waiting for something to change

You Vipers Will Kill Me

You vipers will kill me
Go on take a bow this is where they all hang out
They’ve got no particular place to go
Their days have been spent come and join the malcontents
They’ve got no particular place to go
You vipers will kill me
~ animal noises ~
Go on nothing can stop you little bit of false a little bit of truth
You vipers will kill me

Hard Kisses
03:14
|

|
We escaped for a while
Trying to get a view from the other side
Is it the way we were wired?
Wishing we had met in a different time
Were we really that wise?
Trying to convince yourself for the 100th time
Tangling in the arms of a busted life
This is a place
Though no one ever knew about it how’d we ever get through without it?
It’s all erased
And how do we exist in a world that insists on dying?
This is a place
Though no one ever knew about it how’d we ever get through without it?
It’s all erased
And how do we exist in a world that insists on dying?
With hard kisses (repeat)
Everybody knows about everything

I Was Released
02:33
|
|||
|
Through blind necessity
I lost myself
I was released
And this insanity
It took me over
I was released
And life destroyed all my intentions
And life had taken all my inventions
And life was plagued with all my pretensions
And life was filled with clueless conditions
I lived destructively
I saw the demon
I was released
I lit out for the street
It slapped me down
I was released
And life has a new kind of friction
And life went on despite my insistence
And life moved on in spite of prediction
And life’s estranged, I fought my omission
And life denied my hard fought redemption
And life was filled with toxic prescriptions
And life had turned from all I envisioned
And life was fraught with my indecision

This Thing

We can start this thing on another day
This thing’s just getting in our way
Speak up! You know I’m not a liar
Keep it to the telephone wire
This thing is just getting in our way
We can start this thing on another day
This thing is just getting in out way
Everybody’s staring at me wish I was just the same
If I’m one of those people why don’t I feel ashamed
I like to drink it helps me pass the time
I like to dream it helps me pass the time
I only want it if it isn’t mine

Young Wild Free

Take a brick and build your castle now
Everyone is pleased
Onward teenage soldiers how we’ve grown
Oh, so stubbornly
When the wrecking room is calm and bringing down your scene just think of me
And I have waited ever patiently and never had to settle for the days of in-betweens
And I learned never to regret a thing forever is a long time to waste on wandering
For the young and wild and free
Met a ghost in a parking lot had to squint to see
Said, "You’re gonna miss life just like I did for all eternity"
These aren’t the good old days these are just days
One blink, man makes them go away

Bad Things
02:49
|
|||
|
In the summer there was a legend
Smell of bug spray and hot sweat
I never said it but I thought it
We’re both whores with golden hearts
Doing bad, bad things
I wanna die here with the locals
Carry away my crazy thoughts
Fell asleep in abandoned houses
For just a moment you were real
Doing bad, bad things
With me...

Do You Remember?
02:32
|

Do you remember
Crawling from the hollow ground (remember)
These are not declining years
This is the day when all the shit will go away
Do you remember
The musical electric chairs (remember)
These was never a time when we quit trying
This is the day when everything will go our way
There's a party tonight
But I don't know what to do with myself
I should step into the light
Cause out there what's happening is life (remember)
Remember

If you like American Werewolf Academy, you may also like:
supported by 6 fans who also own “Out Of Place All The Time”
From the chord that rings out solemnly during the opening "One per Customer" through the hypnotic distortion of the finale "Black Hole," this is full of heart. Melodic, mature, and evocative.

Thanks to George for including Teenage Wasteland in his 14th birthday compilation :-) It's been a while since that has been recorded, but that's timeless art ...

it seems like every band rewrites the Buffalo Springfield's "Mr. Soul." Wussy does it on "Hello, I'm A Ghost." And it is amazing.
