A Good Thing Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett I wish that your flesh wasn't so very cold And your eyes painted like marigolds Girl, you're either gonna wind up in jail In the trunk of a car or somebody's lunch pail I know a good thing when I see it All of the wounds that refuse to heal Cover the scars that did But I've forgiven everything you've done I'll be your fool if I'm the only one I know a good thing when I see it All of the things I can't comprehend When the light goes from "walk" To "run as fast as you can" When stranger turns to lover then stranger again I know a good thing when I see it I know a good thing when I see it I know a good thing when I see it I know a good thing when I see it I know a good thing (when I see it) I know a good thing (when I see it) I know a good thing (when I see it) I know a good thing (when I see it) I know a good thing

The Adorable Horrible Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett I'm so sorry The sorriest man you've ever seen When I lacked manners style and grace I picked up the check to compensate I followed you to a rave With all intentions to behave But my education failed, I was nearly impaled Never even heard of Nine Inch Nails My gin was no tonic after all I heard you purrs turn to catcalls Looked through Debrett's for some hand-me-downs Woke up in a hair shirt and thorny crown I'm so sorry The sorriest man there's ever been A well coifed fat head On the body of a skeleton Did I offend you I was just trying to act like I care You see I was spoiled then I was abandoned A boy who was stuck-up and left there That last scotch was anything but neat I said things I should never repeat I got sloppy serious and sentimental I spilled my guts and my tux was a rental Cause I'm the adorable horrible I'm the adorable horrible I'm the adorable h

Hyde & Seek [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Hyde & Seek Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett The children would torment me My cleft palate and beriberi In the attic, nobody heard They broke my spirit, they broke their word Oh please Somebody look for me The middle child Playing hide and seek A little meek Won't somebody look for me? Father Ritter called me in Said the Lord died for my sins So I kneeled, contrite and afraid And when he locked the door, oh how I prayed Oh, please won't somebody look for me The middle child Playing hide and seek The little freak Won't somebody look for me? There was a girl I was her world We'd play hide and seek She'd count to ten Find me, but then again She would always peek I hid behind the big white oak They never found her I could not let her go Oh, please won't somebody look for me The middle child Playing hide and seek The little freak Won't somebody look for me? Please won't somebody look for me? Won't somebody please

Monkey's Uncle Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett It was late I asked where you'd been Felt like I was accusing Mary   Magdalene You looked hurt so I apologized Didn't even ask about those bruises 'round your eyes Everyone knew you as we passed through the bar They sent you drinks as I sent for the car The attendant leered at you like a Kennedy You pled mistaken identity Mistaken identity You struck a match but you had no Slim You struck a match to hid the scent of him You had no match so you struck up a conversation Oh I'll be a monkey's uncle I'll be a monkey's uncle You were to meet me at work today After you met with your CPA Arriving late you looked so relaxed You looked anything but taxed Anything but taxed You struck a match but you had no Slim You struck a match to hide the scent of him You had no match so you struck up a conversation With the guy next to you While I wore the monkey suit I'll be a monkey&#

Hanging Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett I have faith in you, you're not coming back You never let me down when it comes to that As the floorboard creaks The hollows echo And the shutter slam I'm left by myself to define who I am And I'm left hanging here for you Left hanging here for you Left hanging Left hanging I'm hanging here Searching for Words to say As you walk out the door My cup filled with clouds of Half and Half Patsy Cline sang her epitaph Surrounded by tobacco silhouettes As the ashes piled up like regrets I'm hanging here for you Left hanging here for you Left hanging Left hanging I'm hanging here Searching for Words to say As you walk out the door Oh, left hanging here for you Ooh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Ooh Left hanging here Left hanging here Left hanging here Left hanging here

Venus Kicked The Stars [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Venus Kicked The Stars Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett A hundred silver bracelets jingle round her tiny wrists From her neck hung half a heart of braided gold and amethyst She patched her multi-colored sackcloth fringy Guatemalan dress Cuts the recipe in half and drinks a toast to no regrets Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars) Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars) Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars) Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the stars From out of the bathroom walked the only love of her life Orange almond fur peppered with tiny flecks of anthracite She emptied out the albacore from an aluminum can Since she was a little girl she'd been taught to please her man Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars) Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars) Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the stars The stars collided shooting fragments into the night Tearing up the atmosphere they opened holes of feral light

My Big Brain Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett My big brain Read somewhere Happiness Is a symptom of despair Now I'm wondering how I could let you go What I was thinking I'll never know Because My big heart Loved you so But my big brain Has a mind of its own Alone the honey moon dripped droplets of light As the poet dips his pen In night If you think hard enough surely you'll find Love is entirely in your mind Says my big brain My big brain My big brain My big brain

Sleeping Beauty Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett Aggie wants to stay Where she is She doesn't look too well In the brimstone and violet Found a piece of fruit In a cabinet Aggie you want some I'll trade you for a cigarette And if I And if I And if I had my way I'd take you I'd take you I'd take you to another day Aggie please get up From the broken glass I'm wrapped in her coat And I'm starting to float And if I And if I And if I had my way I'd take you I'd take you I'd take you to another day Another day Another day You used to say to me We're like two drops of mercury I threw my bottle at you But you wouldn't come to And if I And if I And if I had my way I'd take you I'd take you I'd take you to another day Another day Another day

Dummy Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett She comes in unconcerned Lips swollen and beard burned Won't even lie to me Doesn't have the decency When I am all alone Sit lifeless by the phone Not moving here nor there The dummy waits A mouth that cannot say Two legs that cannot walk away I can't do anything Can't even cut these strings When I am all alone Sit lifeless on the phone Not moving here nor there The dummy waits Cause I'm the dummy Dummy dummy I'm your dummy Dummy dummy dummy I cannot close my eyes No matter how I try And crying does no good The tears only rot my wood And I am all alone Sit lifeless by the phone Not moving here nor there The dummy waits Cause I'm the dummy Dummy dummy I'm your dummy Dummy dummy And this is my song Put me away If I sing too long Cause I'm the dummy Dummy dummy dummy

Lion On The Lamb [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Image
Lion On The Lamb Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Raised by wolves with a pedigree Hitting the bottle the baby drowns in sleep One day he took the Coupe and flew Went out and joined a destruction crew She broke the hitchhikers rule of thumb Never hitch a ride near the asylum So every Bakelite radio ham A Rorschach treatment, a lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb She sprayed Chanel in her diaphragm That night in hell they built a dam He left to shill a pound of gram Street shoals and sirens for lions on the lam Lions on the lam Lions on the lam Lions on the lam Lions on the lam You're not an angel 'til you die Inherit arrows, the jugglers drop like flies With a blindfold day becomes night The shadows scram for cover, the garbage takes flight For lions on the lam Lions on the lam Lions on the lam Lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb Lion on the lamb

Agatha [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Agatha Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Agatha Agatha Agatha Agatha The faucet drips and time runs down the drain Pull up the covers and pronounce myself dead again At six o-clock she staggers up the stairs Where there are shadows there must be light somewhere Agatha Agatha Agatha Agatha To forget her I can only try Kiss the glass and it tastes like lips of rye I can still hear her slam the door Or was it the sound of her head hitting the floor Agatha Agatha Agatha Agatha Now I see She was sent to me A gift to me Oh, Aggie are you still there Reaching out Reaching out for me I'm alright now I'm alright I'm alright now I'm alright I'm alright now I'm alright I'm alright now I'm alright I'm alright now I'm alright
