Walking down the street on one of these sunny days
On Republic square or where the Troubadour plays
Meeting friends and drinkin' or bookin' hours at the BAM
'Till a pretty lady comes to remind me how sick I am
No more looking at my bro just starin' at the floor
This is getting me back to when I was four
Feeling guilt for the beast that’s taking me down
Sometimes I wish I could make it drown!
Getting tired of using the Pig’s Eye
Shame, shame, shame, shame on me
Taking a moment to apologize
To the girls I've attacked with my eyes
Lack of self-control is killing me
A filthy monster is what I must be
There’s no other reason for my loneliness
Believe me my brain is such a mess
If I can’t find somebody for a cure
I’ll probably lose my mind for sure
Getting tired of using the Pig’s Eye
Shame, shame, shame, shame on me

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016
