Alison 02:55
The other night things finally fell in place. I'll never forget that look on your face. I think we could have a blast. You told me every day you feel like you're in danger. Looking in the mirror but only a stranger. Well that's not who you are. Oh Alison, won't you let me in or at least give me your number? Won't you scream and shout? Won't you let it out? Won't you become more than just a bummer? You're know you're rad, hip, hella-cool, and smart. What spark could have you open up your heart? Have you ever been in love? No matter what the future holds for you, I'll be there. You're a rainbow rocket to the moon. I declare I believe in you. Oh Alison, won't you let me in or at least give me your number? Won't you scream and shout? Won't you let it out? Won't you become more than just a bummer?

I don't wanna be lonely anymore. I don't wanna be lonely anymore. Won't you come over soon? Watch Stranger Things in my bedroom? Help me with the sadness and the gloom? Everything is better in my room. I don't wanna be a loser anymore. I don't wanna be a loser anymore. Head filled with doubt and strife. I'm gonna change my life if I can it through the night. Everything is better in the light. I don't wanna be here anymore. I don't wanna b-b-be here anymore. This is the final fight. Rocket ship is taking flight. Planet Earth is fading out of sight. Everything is gonna be all right.

She's the prettiest thing. You can lead her around and show her off on your arm. She wears the cutest clothes, cat-eye frames, mermaid hair. She winks at you but you can't her into the bathroom. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. That's where they see your true face. You can't hide your shame. You're a disgrace. They know you're a loser. You're alone in the bathroom. Look at baby in the bathroom. You're forever alone and you'll always be alone in the bathroom. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go into the bathroom. I don't wanna go into the bathroom, man.

Human Show 01:08
It's the end of the world. I can't tell you why. Whacked out virus, space mutations, yeah, we're all gonna die. They wanna lock me up, anesthetize my brain, live my life in isolation, quarantine my pain. Oh no. I don't wanna go to the human show. I don't wanna go to the human show. I don't wanna go to the human show. I don't wanna go.

Now I can stay out all night. We won't end up in a fight. I can beat my brain with alcohol 'til I can't hear your voice at all. This is the end game. There's nothing in me. Lost all the good parts. My head is empty. Fill my time up with TV. Replace you with a glowing screen so I don't have to think of you. That's the last thing that I wanna do. This is the end game. There's nothing in me. Scooped out the best parts. My head is empty.

Coming home late last night and whadaya think I saw? Walking out of the old church was god damn draculas. They got pale white skin and blacked eyes, studded leather, gauntletized. I'm pretty they're here to take my life. Church in flames. They're after me. I'm stocking up on wood. I'm not sure what a "Burzum" is but I bet that it's no good. They'll take your life and take your name. They'll fuck your face and when they've came, when they're gone, you'll never be the same. God damn draculas are taking o'er my home. They don't like the Beach Boys and they don't like the Ramones so get potato garlic pizza (Escape from New York) ‘cause this could be the end. I fear that there's no Buffy here. Don't let the right one in. Drove out to Orr Hot Springs looking for some trim. Only found some pasty dudes in shirts that said "Mayhem". Pale white skin and blacked eyes, studded leather, gauntletized. I'm pretty they're here to take my life. Now I see it's up to me to save the human race from draculas, all smelling ripe, setting fire to the place. They'll take your life and take your name. They'll fuck your corpse and when they've came, when they're gone, you'll never be the same. God dam draculas are taking o'er my home. They don't like the Beach Boys and they don't like the Ramones so get potato garlic pizza (Escape from New York) ‘cause this could be the end. I fear that there's no Buffy here. Don't let the right one in.

Hold On 03:52
We're a product of our failed communities. We're a product of all the things that we don't need. If our generations gonna last we gotta get up off our ass because we're getting older all the time. Pretty soon we'll work in banks and shopping malls. Pretty soon we won't care at all. So we gotta start today, before we just fade away, because we're getting older all time. I don't know why we have to grow up but when we do the important things won't mean as much so try to take every chance you get to hold on. Twenty years have come and gone without a shout. I'm everything I warned myself about. I didn't mean to lose my way but I got bills to pay and I'm getting older all the time. Everybody dies, baby, that's a fact. Let's do something good while we still have the chance. I know it sounds cliché but, it never is too late, even if we're getting older all the time. I don't know why we had to grow up. Now that we did the important things don't mean as much so try to take every chance that you get to hold on. Hold on to today. Please don't let go. It's all we have and it's all that we know. I see the world change before my eyes. I see another dream that won't be realized so please hold on. So please hold on. So please hold on. Won't you please, please, please, please, please hold on? So please hold on. So please hold on. Won't you please, please, please, please, please hold on? So please hold on. So please hold on. Won't you please, please, please, please, please hold on? So please hold on. So please hold on. On and on and on and on and on.

about

Grimetime Ukiah, California

Grimetime is a band of guys singing songs about robots, romance, and rough nights. Taking a page from The Ramones songbook, the musical output is pretty simple, aside from the harmonized guitars. While their lyrical content occasionally veers off into the political realm, they usually just wanna catch their crushes eye, drink a beer, and bop the night away. ... more
