i’m just a dog
written by brian spekis
i lost my pack
i’m out here on my own
come on, little honey
come and ease my soul
done my damndest
to dodge the human hunting
the traps and the poisons
i ain’t going out with nothing
i’m just a dog running wild & crazy
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i’m just a dog looking for his lady
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i’m seven years
only a few more to go
before the cold creeps in
and takes my soul
done my damndest
to dodge the human hunting
the traps and the poisons
i ain’t going out with nothing
i’m just a dog running wild & crazy
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i’m just a dog looking for his lady
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
honey, i go A-WOOOOOOOO
oh lord (x2)
no more
i’m just a dog running wild & crazy
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i’m just a dog looking for his lady
and when i see you baby
i go A-WOOOOOOOOOOO
A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
honey, i go A-WOOOOOOOO
haunt the jukebox
written by brian spekis
in the middle of the night
i wake up in a cold sweat
it ain’t taxes, it ain’t the creep of death
it’s just some guitar playing i know
oh lord
i can’t go back to sleep
the notes just keep a-ringing inside my head
pretty soon i’m up & i’m out of bed
chasing what, i just don’t know
all the ghosts of rock & roll
haunt the jukebox for a quarter a soul
ah maybellene, she can’t be true
i’ll just grab a dance with peggy sue
i’ll just grab the next dance with peggy sue
no matter what i’m doing now
i can still hear that guitar play
i need to figure out what it’s been trying to say
it keeps knocking on my door
oh lord
all the ghosts of rock & roll
haunt the jukebox for a quarter a soul
ah maybellene, she can’t be true
i’ll just grab a dance with peggy sue
i’ll just grab the next dance with peggy sue
all the ghosts of rock & roll
haunt the jukebox for a quarter a soul (x3)
drunk sleigh ride
written by brian spekis
when it’s snowing outside
and we can find a decent hill
we can go for a little ride
a winter chill’s cheap thrill
kick back a shot with me one more time
in case we don’t survive
any time you wanna take a drunk sleigh ride
my nose is running
where’s my sleeve?
maybe i’ll use yours instead
i can’t see going down at this speed
with this sled, i thee wed
kick back a shot with me one more time
in case we don’t survive
any time you wanna take a drunk sleigh ride
hip shake heartbreak
written by brian spekis
here she comes with her
hip shake & her heartbreak
there she goes, the girl’s insane
but you can’t complain
i’m a goddamn fool
for playing right into her hands
the next morning in her bed
i’m right back where i began
here she comes with her
wine lips and the drunk trips
there she goes with the dress rip
and i’ve been bit
i played right into her hands
i’m a goddamn fool
yeah, i guess that’s where it all ends
another lonely friday night
written by brian spekis
i wanted an answer
you gave me uncertain
from now on, i don’t wanna know
well, i guess i shouldn’t have shown
but i can’t stand being alone
i’m just searching for the light in another lonely friday night
HEY! (x3)
here’s to you, babe
shit yeah, you’re something
i’ll tell the aliens you said, “hello”
i wanted an answer
you gave me nothing
well shit babe, i’ve got nothing at home
i’m going home
well, i guess i shouldn’t have shown
but i can’t stand being alone
now i’m stuck fucking being alone
and i never ever ever should’ve shown
i’m just searching for the light in another lonely friday night
flea markets & libraries
written by brian spekis
i’ve searched all around me
flea markets & libraries
where do i find her?
in the country or in the city?
talking to cats instead of me?
where do i find her?
she comes & goes in dreams
to a million tambourines
will she be frustrating
leaving me on call waiting?
where do i find her?
will she bitch about her knees?
is her bedroom world war iii?
where do i find her?
the walking dead
written by brian spekis
my big head
the walking dead
they always let you down
there in last place
a familiar face
setting fire to a wedding gown
the darkest days
i do greet thee with sweet embrace,
“hi”
step in puddles
curse your mother
crazy highway flower guy
come to pittsburgh
your dad’s a jerk
tell him i said, “hi”
love not of this world
written by brian spekis
goddamn, my girl don’t love me anymore
she said there’s other lover’s planets to explore
she dreams of cruising with darth vader on the deathstar
being taken to galaxies strange and far
she don’t give a damn what my feelings are
she wants love not of this world
she has a collage of e.t. on her door
i got the hell out, don’t wanna hear her name no more
she dreams of cruising with the hal-9000
reading lips and killing dudes one by one
i’ll be left alone without no one
dance me home
written by brian spekis
she prefers jams from way up north
watching her bangs swing back and forth
i feel like i swallowed butterflies
a few more drinks and the timidness dies
come on, babe and dance me home
into the dark of night unknown
by the grace of arthur conley go i
stumble my way up and down her hall
piles of clothes, i trip and fall
she painted a canvas of butterflies
inspired by warhol’s in ’55
i got a d.u.i., babe
written by brian spekis
stepped out of the bar
got into my car
i got a d.u.i., babe
can’t drive you around today
spent the night downtown
next day they let me out
i got a d.u.i., babe
can’t drive you around today
can’t get you mocha latte
anything i ever said about love
was just the whiskey talkin’
my head’s got a secret back door
and the devil he’ll come a-knockin’
ain’t ever had a sleepless night
without that bottle by my side
i can’t say the same about you
turn me around
written by brian spekis
it ain’t easy to say
i’d like to be thirty someday
all the shots i’ve had are gone
who’s buying the next round?
i always wanted you back
i got the proof on my 4-track
what we once had has been lost
and i’m not turning around
what time are you coming over tonight?
two lonely hearts in the dark of night collide
i don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life
i always yawn when you yawn
the circumference turns me on
all the thoughts i’ve had on us
are starting to turn me around
cemetery secretary
written by brian spekis
it’s been a while she said with a smile
since we walked where dead lay
watch as her eyes go from name to name
follow the path, babe
secretary in a cemetery
laughing mess in a shirtdress
turns on the radio and waits for her song
an apple is peeled, two kisses i steal
a cypress tree waves to me
a lack to perceive the respect to grieve
there’s underground wrath, babe
secretary in a cemetery
laughing mess in a shirtdress
turns up the radio and dances to her favorite song
run for cover
written by brian spekis
oh, you’re gonna run for cover
for the rest of your life
regretting all over
over and over again
yeah, you got my number
call and let me know you’re alive
i’ve seen too many summers
go by in the blink of an eye
a heart is only as strong
as the person it drives
oh, you learn a few things
when you’re on your own for a while
regretting all over
over and over again
you’re burned in the back of my mind
in the dark i can still see your eyes
regretting all over
over and over again
apparitions (sweet!!!)
written by brian spekis
there’s a fire somewhere out there tonight
vampires took me to a great height
on the hill above town, we saw…
disappear whenever back is turned
never fear for life will be adjourned
on the hill above town, we saw apparitions
open the gates to the end of the world
SWEET!!!
can you fly, vampire?
interesting, yes you are
written by brian spekis
there ain’t no need for traveling
with all the photos i’ve been collecting
confusion from on high embodied
gal, it ain’t no lie
two nights staggering toward a bloody nose
the twilight ain’t kind to the pigeon-toed
interesting, yes you are
another night, another bar
yesterday is tomorrow’s way out
interesting to say the least
swig the wine and curse the priest
laughing in the shadow of a doubt
the bedsheets think i need a vacation
four wall isolation
four years and a degree later
just another bitter curator
no, we are not naming our kids after ikea products
written by brian spekis
must be a dream
sent from her last scream
sent across moonbeam
fleeting at the break of dawn
parlez-vous francais?
oh, babe
took care of her feet
a shoe for each retreat
drank her scotch neat
living every day to swan
running red lights
written by brian spekis
turn the headlights on high
shaky shine in my eyes
i go running red lights
ease my mind through the night
ain’t got no rearview
some friends knocked it off
roll me down a window
listen to the road talk
let the air rollercoaster through your hair
get me there
destination anywhere
hooray
turn the headlights off
i dare myself sometimes
on those back-of-my-hand roads
i go running red lights
