Unknown Passage

by Dead Moon

Sully Holmes One of the rawest garage punk albums of all time! Dead Moon was the pinnacle of what an indie band is supposed to be, and their do-it-yourself work ethic is super admirable. Unknown Passage is probably my favorite album of theirs, although all the material they put out is great. If you've never listened to this band before, this album is the perfect place to start! Favorite track: Evil Eye.

Thunderbolts and nightsticks Coming out of the sky Flames overhead Rain until you cry My baby's on the highway Come in from the cold Never going home, never going home D for disaster E for my eyes A for my anger D before I die M for mona O oh good O oh good N for the night Dead moon night Call me if you need me Down in new orleans Can't release the victims Have you seen what I've seen In new york city Don't you cross the line Guard it from the light, guard it from the light Hazard on the highway Breakin' down slow They thought she was lookin' Now I'm all alone I'm often abandoned Won't you take me home Now I'm all alone, won't you take me home

My Escape 03:09
There's a point of no return Where we never seem to learn We can't have all we wanted Oh, you can see it in our eyes When nerve begins to die there's no use in pretending And I go to my room, lock the door to run away from myself I've got an anger deep inside Something I can't hide I don't know what I'm after It seems I'm always out of turn And I guess I'll never learn Who's to blame or what's the matter So I go to my room, lock the door And plan my escape To run away from myself It's not the warning that I hear That makes me disappear Down that narrow stairway I don't know what I'm looking for But I know I need it more Just to know someone is waiting So I go to my room, close the door And plan my escape And run away from myself

I used to be so, so down I thought I had been changed So when I found you were running around I too tried to play that game I know the way now This time it won't take long We used to run around two by two We tried to break our hearts And in the mornin' when the corners are jaded I too began to fall apart So if I seem unable to cope It's for a miss of you If what we were was only for once You were always worth the view

I've got a train drivin' through my head Got a fever burnin' in my bed If my telephone's ringin', somebody's dead on the line I'm gettin' mad I'm gettin' pissed I can't handle much more of this Everybody sets me off, man, I'm walkin' on ice I need something strong to pull me through I've got to find a way to kick these blues It's that cold in the night and I've got blood in my eyes I say 54/40 or fight I've go a queesy feelin' in my guts Can't you see that I've had enough Everybody sets me off, man, I'm over the edge I've got a time-bomb tickin' inside Fire burnin' in my eyes No where to hide and no where to turn I've got a needle deep down in my soul I've got nerves goin' out of control My adrenalin's pumpin' and I-m ready to burst I say 54/40 or fight I've got a rocket trail in my mind I've got a feelin' that I haven't much time I've got a time-bomb tickin' with nowhere to turn Now these restraints that you're puttin' on me The dealin' with society This - the final approach, is my cause for alarm So don't tell me what I was before Or expect me to be something more I'm on the defense and I'm over the line I say 54/40 or fight

I'm Wise 03:27
You nag me and you haunt me And you tell me dirty lies You think you've pulled it off But for some time I've realized That everything you do is to drive me from my mind I've been listening to the silence for your tiptoes in the night I'm wise, wise to you You've never faced the day when judgement comes to town You've been dealing from the bottom, dealing dirty, deep, and down You got yourself a boyfriend who'll be comin' 'round tonight While I'm outside aworkin' and doing overtime I'm wise, wise to you You think it's sugar powder 'cause everything's so sweet When you melt away the glaze of all the people that you see The more I'm educated, the more I hang on the cord You can cut the lies 'cause I know what's going on I'm wise, wise to you

Evil Eye 02:42
I am so bad because of you There ain't nothing that I won't do I'll buy you clothes and ruby rings But it takes money to get those things So I lie and I cheat I rob and I steal I try to hate you woman, but I never will Love won't die, no matter how hard I try My woman's got an evil eye I am so weak, I must admit Got love bad but I can't quit Bought you a cadillac with all the frills I bought you that, you want more still Work all day, work all night Oh, little baby, you trest me right Bought you a house high on the hill I bought you that, you want more still
7.
I Tried 03:12
I tried to stop the tide I tried but I can't hide I tried to resist you I tried to follow through I tried to let you go I tried but I just want more I tried and tried to steal away But you played on me I tried to pass the time I tried to get you off my mind I tried to become cold I tried to tell you no I tried and tried to steal away But you placed on me I tried to look away I tried not to see your face I tried to forget you I tried but it's just no use I tried and tried to steal away But you played on me

Time has come today young hearts can go Their way can't put it off another day I don't care what others say they say we Don't listen anyway time has come today, hey The room has changed today I have no place to stay I'm thinking about the subway my love has blown away My tears have come and gone oh, lord I got to run I got no home no, I have no home Now the time has come nowhere (place) to run Might get burned up by the sun but i'll have my fun I've been loved, pushed (put) aside I've been crushed By tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized Now the time has come there are things to realize Time has come today time has come today

Demona 02:37
I thought I could avoid you but I was wrong What seemed to be so innocent has long since gone You took me to dependency, I tried to get clean I'm not the only one who sais it can't happen to me You've got your colors over my eyes I've tried to walk the narrows but it's no use I find myself surrendering in dreams with you Into the elevations where everything's clear Demona comes in shallow light and disappears She wraps her colors over my eyes, br> I've stood in open windows and watched the sky I've waited to be rescued and then I've cried Your eyes are so beguiling you whisper to me And in that silent chamber you came over me You wrap your colors over my eyes
