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 DUI, 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
