I Can Swing A Hammer – The Wet Secrets I can swing a hammer with the best of them I know I can I can swing a hammer I can live forever I can swing a hammer with the best of them I can feel the weight of the line I drew inside I can feel the weight of the line I’m picking sides I can see the weight was a lie It’s keeping me up all night Seven billion people I’m just one of them I know I am We’ve got something better than the rest of them I know we have We’ve got something better Lighter than a feather I can swing a hammer with the best of them It’s a lie But it’s mine It’s a lie I can swing a hammer with the best of them I know I can I can swing a hammer I can live forever I can swing a hammer with the best of them

Tidal Wave of Hate (Baby Let’s Surf) – The Wet Secrets Leave it up to me if you can’t decide I wanna punch your ticket take you for a ride At the point where the bats attack You don’t need to front cuz I got your back And you got mine Most of the time Follow me down to the bottom of the gulch We’re sippin’ rarified air like a wild punch And I can’t imagine feeling more alive Until they kill our love and crush our vibe forever The drummer’s name was Trevor As a matter of fact Never took the time just to look around Cuz when I did I found The lowest forms of life Just a waste of skin They tear you limb from limb To get a laugh how nice Baby let’s surf The tidal wave of hate Cynical villains creepin’ over the side I got a hunch your biscuit got no jam inside I buried all of my accolades I got a box full of daggers out on display And one of these days I’m gonna sharpen them up Locked in a barrel going over the falls It’s such a long way down When they’re banging on the walls Even sunny days You’re gonna catch some shade Where the shadow falls Baby let’s surf The tidal wave of hate And there’s no end to The harsh sentiments that you must endure Are we supposed to Just lay down and die Tell the bats They were right? Let’s go back to the rarefied air Say what you want now see if I care Let’s surf The tidal wave of hate Baby let’s surf The tidal wave of hate

Give It To Me Straight – The Wet Secrets All right, here we go All the boys and the girls Just think about it think about it think about it think about it I saw your face across the bar Looked like you were waving from afar Melting in a spotlight Right then I knew It was a crying shame but it was true You’re just a stranger now but you don’t seem that strange at all Friction I watched you slip away I walked you to your car Under the milky way I saw your beauty scar Dancing in the moonlight So give it to me straight Is there a chance at all I follow you around I’m making midnight calls You gotta tell me tell me Give it to me straight give it to me straight give it to me straight Just give it to me Don’t make me get get down on my knees and beg you Think about it think about it think about it think about it think about it Think about it think about it think about it think about it think about it Think about it think about it think about it think about it think about it Yeah I saw your face Across the room Looked like you were wearing that perfume Collapsing in a spotlight Oh I apologize I couldn’t help but see You’re just a stranger now but you don’t seem that strange to me Give it to me straight give it to me straight give it to me straight Just give it to me Don’t make me get get down on my knees and beg you

Final Curtain For A Drama Queen 02:47
lyrics

Final Curtain for a Drama Queen – The Wet Secrets Is this a test Because I clearly don’t get it How you could get so offended By all this shit in your head Yes you clearly invented it All this beef well you fed it A martyr’s complex Complicated or just P-p-p-p-paranoid Maybe the vultures in the wings Are plotting dreadful things And now they’re waiting for the king Final curtain for a drama queen It’s not right No baby it’s not right One! Two! Three! Four! Cheap shots in the comments These windmills all look like giants P-paper tiger Goliaths From accidentally coming off your meds A queen needs a palace We all love sippin’ from chalices But this grail is a fallacy And you’ll never take a sip from mine The understudies in the wings Are blocking all your scenes And now they’re waiting for you to sing The final curtain for a drama queen It’s about time that we all said baby Don’t make waves when the boat’s rock steady And if you’re finding that cross a bit heavy Take it to the stage and curtsy when you’re ready Final curtain for a drama queen Final curtain for a drama queen

No Easy Way Out 04:59

No Easy Way Out – The Wet Secrets There’s no point in turning back The clock tonight We know who we are and what we’re like Bad for each other But we just can’t say goodbye Tonight Say goodbye Face to face We know what we’ve gotta say But it slips away Primal movers in a primal life What’s beautiful in darkness Is ugly in the light So why Can’t we let it die? There’s no easy way out No easy way out This is ending There’s no doubt This will kill There’s no easy way out No easy way out Lost control And the situation’s always getting Out of hand Achin’ feeling creepin’ up on me inside Cruel lover Something beautiful has died Tonight Now I know, and I know that you know it There’s no easy way out No easy way out This is ending There’s no doubt This will kill There’s no easy way out No easy way out This is going to fuck you up This will hurt More than a lot There’s no easy way out No easy way out No easy way out

If I Was a Camera – The Wet Secrets If I was a camera Taking your picture Would you even realize Keeping my distance Under the bleachers I’d wait ‘til the moment’s right Over and over An overexposure I’d follow you day and night If I was a camera Taking your picture I hope you wouldn’t mind If I was a camera Taking your picture I wouldn’t ask you just to hold that pose If I was a camera Taking your picture I’d probably ask you just to Take off all your clothes If I ask politely Perhaps you just might be More willing to compromise Stay in the light and Just move to the right I’m undressing you with my eyes Always in danger Of popping the breaker I’m watching the sparks ignite I am a camera Wistfully yearning I hope you wouldn’t mind If I was a camera Taking your picture I wouldn’t ask you just to hold that pose If I was a camera Taking your picture I’d probably ask you just to Take off all your clothes Take off your clothes

Burn It All (And Start Again) 05:51

Burn It All and Start Again – The Wet Secrets Is this the feeling that regular people describe? When happiness fleetingly greases the palms of your hands I’ve shredded the papers while creditors pound on the doors There’s no heat tomorrow, I’ve paid off the ghosts in your head Allright? Got enough for the rest of my life Got enough for the rest of my days All I want to do is Burn it all and start again Building up, building up inside Under pressure since the dawn of time All I want to do is Burn it all and start again Nothing personal right? We’ve brightened the corners We’re shining a light on the rails In decadent cages outrageous behaviour prevails When all of the trappings that make up for failings have failed I get the feeling the years they’ve been stealing from my life I might need one day Got enough for the rest of my life Got enough for the rest of my days All I want to do is Burn it all and start again Building up, building up inside Under pressure since the dawn of time All I want to do is Burn it all and start again Burnin’ it up Burnin’ it up We are burnin’ it up Burn it all! Burn it all! Burn it all and start again

Quelle Surprise – The Wet Secrets I found out Everything was a lie Every dubious choice Was never really mine If I could take it all back Well you know I just might Do it again Quelle surprise The glass-jawed lads They always lead with the right They’re underneath the bed Where the monsters hide I said, “What’s up?” They said, “You’re doing alright!” Just do it again Quelle surprise I saw red In the blink of an eye Same old song I’ve been singing all my life If that’s so wrong I don’t want it to be right I’d do it again Quelle surprise Do it again Quelle surprise

Spiral Eyes 08:51

Spiral Eyes – The Wet Secrets You told me a million times Not to exaggerate But I always hyperbolize When things are great. Now I see with waking eyes How you’ve led me astray Too late I realized The price I’d pay All I want to be is away from you All I want to be is away from you All I want to be is away from you And your spiral eyes I used to totally dig you and Now I feel like a slave And I know that you dig me Like a shallow grave All I want to be is away from you All I want to be is away from you All I want to be is away from you And your spiral eyes Spiral Eyes I’ve got a funny feeling I’m No longer in control of my mind I am under the spell of a hypnotizer H-Y-P-N-O-T-I-Z-E-R The harbinger of modern times I need to find me a sympathizer We are all under control of a hypnotizer H-Y-P-N-O-T-I-Z-E-R H-Y-P-N-O-T-I-Z-E-R
