Pavement Hurts

Now, I've tried too hard in the past
I should have known
My time would never last
but now
I still think of you my dear
What are you doing
with the love oh that you give?
I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I really don't know
where I want to be
I know I don't want the girl
that keeps jumping out of cars
no hell no
I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I see a boy with a heart upon his sleeve
but now I know I just can't
give it out to anyone else

Now you're to blame
My love just aint the same
no no
and when I try to give my love again
you better believe
that I'll know when

You came along this icy road
my love
You came to take me home
but now
What do I do
What do I think
What do I say when a girl
takes advantage of a boy like me?
I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I really don't know
where I want to be
I know I don't want the girl
that keeps jumping out of cars
no hell no
I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I see a boy with a heart upon his sleeve
but now I know I just can't
give it out to anyone else

Now you're to blame
My love just aint the same
no no
and when I try to give my love again
you better believe
that I'll know when

I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I really don't know
where I want to be
I know I don't want the girl
that keeps jumping out of cars
no fuck no
I take a look around
I'll tell you what you see
I really don't know
where I want to be
but now I know I just can't
give it out to anyone else

Now you're to blame
My love just aint the same
no no
and when I try to give my love again
you better believe
that I'll know when.

Virgins and Airplanes

Shake you head if yes or no
Do you still remember me?
You took my heart,
You took my soul,
You took my virginity.
I was living life just like I should
and you were living life just like you knew and it was
just a game to you
just a game to you

Until we meet again,
You haunt my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.
My bones will ache again,
Just like my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.

Dying don't seem bad to me (said)
You're just a part of history (they say)
What you tried to do.
What they thought of you.
But you gave yourself to every breath,
And no one seemed to even care.
What they thought of you.
What you tried to do.

Until we meet again,
You haunt my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.
My bones will ache again,
Just like my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.

You make me understand.
You make me understand.
You make me understand.
You make me understand.

Until we meet again,
You haunt my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.
My bones will ache again,
Just like my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.

Until we meet again,
You haunt my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.
My bones will ache again,
Just like my head.
You make me drink,
You make me fall,
You make me understand.

CD Release Party

Our CD release party at Dan McGuinness was a huge success! The place was standing room only, and DJ Elektro Nympho and Tastebuds brought the house down! Kristen did a hell of a job selling CDs and rocking the stewardess uniform. Everyone had a great time and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We will post pictures and video in the coming days as we sort through them. The online store should be up this week and we have CDs for sale at our upcoming shows. We also have a bonus CD with every purchase (while they last) of a podcast we did with Scotlush. It's a behind the scenes look at the songs, relationships, and how the album came about. You do not want to miss it! Thanks to everyone who helped out with the show, we could not have done it without you!
Thanks to everyone who made it out last night...The CD release party was better than we could have imagined! www.kanagaband.com

Busy week ahead....
Now that the album is recorded and mixed, it's off to the mastering house in Dallas, Texas. While it's gone we will finalize artwork and text for the CD inlay. A very time consuming process! On top of that we are playing all week at various places and keeping day jobs. Since when did being a musician become so much work? Oh well, it's a labor of love. The CD release party is going to be a serious production. We have Scotlush (scotlush.com) coming in to help with everything. Should be amazing!
