Smile N Nod

Voodoo Blue Smile N Nod Lyrics
1.Enter To Win

It's time
To pack your bags and sing the songs that will make the whole
world tremble
And we're not gonna let you stop 'til you have a platinum on
your mantle.
Hold on, are we ready for this?
This business is so hit or miss
You talk the talk now your ass is mine
So sign right here on the dotted line...
Finally,
We're not in my parents basement at home
Here we are,
We're still unknown
It's ok
Just shove us in the van and watch
The journey begins in the suburbs and ends live at red rocks
Based on taking chances and believing in ourselves
We've taken our vows to work hard and play loud
We sold our souls to play the roles
We've been faking all our lives


2.Bobby Know It All

1, 2, 3, 4

Started off
Bobbys' home
Searching for his fantasies
Downloading porn for free
Suddenly, lightening struck
A tree fell down and came through the house
Electric shocks ran through the mouse
Somethings changed (somethings changed), hes not the same
Bobby became pixel boy and the world he's going to destroy
And if you get in his way he'll make you sorry
Bobby became pixel boy pushed to the point he will destroy
Anyone in his way
Oh, they'll be sorry
Saturday, that slut came home
From another made up weekend
She's supposed to be chilling with her friends
He said 'let me hold your hand and see.
With the power given to me I can upload your memories.'
He doesn't like what he sees
Bobby became pixel boy and the world he's going to destroy
And if you get in his way he'll make you sorry
Bobby became pixel boy pushed to the point he will destroy
Anyone in his way
Oh, they'll be sorry
Singled out
He's had enough
Of never really fitting in
His confidence if wearing thin
The answer came into his brain
It's to destroy the world like this!
The ever infamous pixel boy woke up today and was overjoyed
'Cause during the night with a lightening strike he became just
Bobby
He doesn't wanna be pixel boy
He just wants to be a normal boy
a human life is not a toy and now hes sorry
Woah, woah
Another day for Bobby to start over
No more wishing that the world was over


3.Good 4 No. 1

Set the stage for disaster
Curtain call for the actor
I don't know maybe our players a pro
The cracks in the makeup start the show
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash out before my eyes again
Let me out 'cause I'm not doing anybody any good
Comedy and confusion
Tragedy and illusion
We could never stand being together when the lights went down
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash before my eyes again
Practice to deceive
Tangled webs we weave
But don't believe that your misunderstood
You did all you could
To make sure you weren't doing anybody any good
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies are telling me that this is the end
So take the stage and the spotlight
Take a bow and say goodnight
Make your final exit
Now the place where you once stood
Isn't doing anybody any good


4.Non-Popular

I'm a hot shot drenched in etiquette
But dried off I'm not to delicate
Hey there, you'd be surprised
From the first shot surrounded in a corner
Everyone knows who I am but me
Why cant I figure it out?
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
Last call has never been so far away
Count the lies 'till its time to make a getaway
One more pat on the back
And I'll lose my mind
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
Who can I count on
When so much has gone wrong?
Everyone is my best friend
But they don't know me and I don't know them
(There are 3 rules:
Smile 'n nod politely,
Ask for their names always remember their names,
but know where the boundaries are
Never cross the line don't let them inside
'cause they're not gonna like what they find)
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
People talking fills the air
They look at me but I'm not there
I'm disconnected
Your call has been rejected
People talking fills the air
(I'm disconnected)
They look at me but I'm not there


5.Too Old To Cry

Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Hey now, should I get up and run away
Somehow, I'll make it through another day
It's not too late to start my life, again
I hate how you think we could drift apart
Somehow, you lost your way into my heart
And I know my life won't be the same again, same again
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Ohh..
Just step back
If I decide to runaway will I ever know I should have stayed?
Is it too late to start my life again?
Hey now, if people see us drift apart
Who knows where to end and how it starts
I know my life won't be the same again, same again
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Alone instead but I'm too old to cry
Oh..
Woah oh, Woah oh
Isn't it like you to turn your back on everything we had
Woah oh, woah oh
There is no void in reasoning
Woah..
Isn't it like you to turn your back on everything we had
Woah oh, oh
There is no void in reasoning
Reasoning
Could you just
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but..
Tell me what you'd think if I was saying goodbye?
A life alone instead but I'm too old cry
Tell me, tell me..
Woah oh, Woah oh
Isn't it like you, isn't it like you
To not like me, to not like me, to not like me, to not like me!
You think you know something about me everything about me's
different now
Everything about me's different now


6.Jump In The Fire

So, so, so
Jump in the fire
Let it burn to the bone,
You can't find this excitement hibernating at home
And only the lucky leave banged up and bruised
Now you're one step closer to paying your dues to ROCK!


7.The Great Escape

1, 2, 3, 4
Sold your system for a ticket
To a concert a year away
Nothing beat the thrill of a rock show
But now it's so cliche
There was 1 band for everyone
You'd never leave until its done
Defend your right to escape for the night
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away
Where are they?
'Cause back in the day
The world had anthems
With something to say
If I could go back, back, back in time
I'd watch The Who lead the way
'Cause back then there was no net
The front of the stage was as close as you could get
Now theres all access for everyone
The damage is done
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away, far away
It doesn't matter you wanna die
For tonight we sing it
Your dead end job has sucked you dry
But tonight we sing it
Tonight we sing as 1
1, 1, 1
Where the hell is rock and roll
Happy times and letting go?
I miss the songs that take me far away
Where is good old rock and roll?
We lived fast grew up slow
I need the songs that take me far away
Back then things weren't innocent
When big hair bright lights
And cigarettes ruled the world
And made me want to play my life away


8.Cherry Hill

Here's my tale of worry
Guilty grievance
The kind you keep buried
In the back of your head
As the night got colder
His anger took over
A barrel to the shoulder forced me to the ground
She looks at me
And her sense of comfort doesn't make me feel at ease
And so began the walk of shame
Through cherry hill
Up cherry lane
The silence between us from that day on
Is the secret that we can't get beyond
She looks at me
And her sense of comfort doesn't make me feel at ease
She looks at him
Gave him what he wanted
Was sacrificed to save our lives
Its a bad dream
I just can't wake up
When it's over I play it from the top
10 years gone it seems like yesterday
All the color turned black and grey
She looks at me as if nothing was wrong
And we kid ourselves that cherry hills gone
She looks at him
Gave him what he wanted
Was sacrificed to save our lives
She reaches for the phone
Before we get alone
No one even knows


9.What Happened To Spencer Shipley

Seems like you never knew
Your spirit saved the day
I'm stranded on my own
You cut short your life today
Did you long for the solution
On the weight that took you down
Like an anvil 'round your ankle
From every rooftop in our town
I'll sing
'I know you're up there looking out for me,
time has determined who we're gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
and paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge.'
As brothers we bled
He'd always hang near the doorway
Room 10 where art class was
Making plans for his bright future
Impressing me didn't take much
when school was over we went our own separate ways
But not far enough to break our bond
what could've happened in the time between
that made him cross the line so he could move on
If you're listening
'I know you're up there looking out for me,
time has determined who we're gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
and paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge.'
Something tells me
You knew it
I'd be stuck with no help to get through it
I wonder if you'd hate what has become of me?
I just try to imagine what you'd say
So I'll take my hundredth look
(I'll take my hundredth look)
At the words you scribbled in my yearbook.
'I know you're up there looking out for me,
(hums)..who were gonna be
and I wish you could step from the fear
and paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge.'


10.Drown

Floating out
Swallowed down
But I can't seem to drown
Floating out on the rivers in my mind
Somehow I can see my life
In all its glory and its shame
My conscience tells me that your the one to blame
Return to what we understand
And I don't know
How do I breathe, how do I breathe?
When I'm drowning in my sleep
How do I wake before I'm just a memory?
How do I breathe (how do I breathe?)
when I'm drowning, drowning in my sleep?
Drifting out
As a current cuts my throat
I breathe back out
In different times
You still might find the things you thought were only yours to
keep
turn out to be the same as mine
Return to what we understand
And I don't know
How do I breathe, how do I breathe?
When I'm drowning in my sleep
How do I wake before I'm just a memory?
How do I breathe (how do I breathe?)
when I'm drowning, drowning in my sleep?
Floating out
Swallowed down
When I drown
Washed up and wondering if I'll ever be found
Left in the wake waves crash and break 'till I'm face down


11.31st Street

Down 31st street 4 years done
The graduation celebrated
With reckless fun
Nights filled with parties, girls,
And the freedom we'd been longing for
3 stuck together
Discussing life and whats in store
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
Oh
All the photographs can't capture
The bitter-sweetness of knowing
I'll never see your faces again
Nostalgia hits sometimes just like a punch in the face
And when it does I wonder
Did I make the right mistakes?
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who gets away
Where are we now?
Too far apart from each other
How could 1 week be the end
But the start of another?
X'd out chapter of our lives?
Time is like poison never tasted 'til you die
At first you don't feel it
It starts to kick in
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
(And if you don't know by now)
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who got away
These are the words I would write in the letter I'll never send


12.Thrift Store Dropout

It's raining mascara
And I'm swimming in sensibility
She wears it so well
'Cause to her it's living dangerously
She'll never know
She had one foot in
But she's killing herself just to say
'I'll take my chances.'
Me sled by the madness
I know she'll destruct if she stays
My poor thrift store drop out
Gutter punk circle
We've got no place else to go
She doesn't fit in
But by her looks you'd never know
Should I let her know?
She had one foot in
But shes killing herself just to say
'I'll take my chances.'
Me sled by the madness
I know shell destruct if she stays
Step up or cop out
I made the best..
No I made it up
So now am I obsessed
Here as I wait in line for a taste of rejection?
We are a fantasy
Now shes right in front of me
I look in her eyes said I'd better stay out of her way
Despite all the chances I back down with nothing to say
She had one foot in
But shes killing herself just to say
'I'll take my chances.'
Me sled by the madness
I know shell destruct if she stays
My poor thrift store drop out


13.Beach Blanket For Boredom

The chaos spreads in less than it takes the snow to fall
In Providence or Portland
They don't care at all
All of a sudden time stands still
The streets are white like crused up pills
Make a list of things to do
And cross them off cause today is through ,yeah
It's hard to sit still when theres so much to be done
The chaos spreads in less time than it takes the snow to fall
In Buffalo or Boston they don't care at all
And the stale stench of winter
Is wreaking havoc through the town
So trade your beach blanket for boredom
Mother natures throwing down
Tranquilize the neighborhood like a postcard shot thats there
for good
2 days stranded and I'm loosing my mind
Instead of water I'll float online
The barometer drops
And we're inches from the end
The chaos spreads in less than it takes the snow to fall
In Providence or Portland
They don't care at all
And the stale stench of winter
Is wreaking havoc through the town
So trade your beach blanket for boredom
Mother natures throwing down
The stale stench of winter makes a sheep flock to the mall
Spending money like it's Christmas 'cause they have to have it
all


14.City By The Bay

Learning to be lonely when it's easier to crawl
You've given up on trusting at all
And how did we wind up in a dream we can't undo?
Stupid to think it really could come true
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
It's a struggle
It's a let down
Only worth its wait in gold
Don't let the drama surround you
Or get in your way
'Cause if you never let the weather
Warm you up when you get cold
Hours will pass
Raise your glass
We've got nothing to say
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
'Cause people keep on moving while were stuck here
Rotting away in the ashes
Of the city by the bay
Believe when I say
Oh, someday we'll break out
Break out
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm lapsing today
Fall into the bottom
Push me all the way yeah yeah
I'll be here waiting
'Til the wrong seems right
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
This is the last thing we need
(Last thing we need)
This is the last thing we need


15.Smile N Nod

Raise your middle finger high
Your eyebrow earring looks real fly
Hahahahahahahaha
(That was raw)
Did you make us shut yourself (?)
It sucks
And smoking is bad for your health
Please admire my first shot
When I make the entrance
Smile and Nod
Yee
(Haha. Yo dude, can we take that shit again?)
