Cowboys 04:22
When we were after cinematic We'd roll the windows done We'd let the air strike our faces Nothing could slow us down We never had a first class adventure Thank God Tommy was around He'd race us all across the city Rubber never saw the ground If our city was a tabloid Then we could be the cowboys I thought we were Basement door opens at midnight There's Tim with cigarettes under a street light I don't know where we're going tonight but the bag in his pocket means I'll be fine So we meet them later in a parking lot They're armed and ready but I'm not I could head home and forget what I saw But nothing's going to keep me from coming along Chorus If good was only in my imagination I would have stayed out of that car My brother's hanging out the window He's shooting at parked cars Then suddenly there's a light behind us The Blue and white of a cop car He gets us out he says he knows us Did we start the fire in the park? No...No...No... How did you know? I tired to avoid it, But I never really liked it We always got caught Less than 12 hours To clean the mess we caused We'd better hurry before the real law Wakes up and we're done for Chorus

Oh please let this be one easy night I don't want to be a knot without a name As I watch this weeks God go by, I hope that I keep my sight And I stay away from Chocolate and Hurricanes My lovely city has kept me here without complaint A double fantasy-almost a blend of real and mundane With a pounding heartbeat, incident and distain They're a bundle of reasons to runaway with every new age But don't be surprised when I'm not around The miles I want-they're just not allowed When I sneak off without a sound Don't be surprised when I'm not around This is stuck on 'what now?' This is stuck on 'just how?' All I want is 'right now' But we're stuck on "what now?" This is the sound of fond before it's colored and thought out A favorite habit-oh obviously there isn't any doubt But when you look up at the one's who wrote the rules Will they notice you and wave you, wave you through

What if I turn out to be him The guy who ran out of sentiment stories and sin Will I end up a fray, a mark or a crumb? Joining the list of what's never been done No love is good enough, a watered down bunch Fruit ready to harvest but not for my lunch Too many questions and nothing gets done What if I turn out to be... Will you look who turned out alright? What If I turn out to be him? A pilot with no end nor map to begin With no one buying seats I don't have to pretend The Plane hasn't been anywhere worthy yet Other planes are saying fresh paints the best bet hide your insides and you can pretend too much thinking and nothing gets done What if I turn out to be... Will you look who turned out alright? So I find my seat next to the lepers and the liars but they're too bored to even start fires so they drag me out stand under lamp light to laugh at the boys in tonight's street fight we jump away a while and then sneak back all the one's we call "egomaniac" too much moving can't be all that bad But what if I turn out to be... Will you look who turned out alright? Just Him.

about

Jonathan Pape Boston, Massachusetts

Occasionally, the real world pulls you away from the things that you love; but sometimes, you're reminded that you can come back. I used to be in a band called The Jupiter Project, and then I was in License, then I went toe-to-toe with Giant Battle Wombat and most recently I tried to keep up with the Paper Snakes. ... more
