Little boys are going out tonight Because they can They go to bars and they're starting fights Because they can They are dangerous They are dangerous Because they can Little boys wanna burn the world Because they can Throwing bricks through store windows Because they can That makes them dangerous They’re looking dangerous Because they can Little boy's not coming home, he has a punctured lung It's a gorey tribute to an athlete dying young He got dangerous He got dangerous Because he can Little girls making pretty eyes Because they can They’ll take your heart your head, they’ll take your life Because they can That makes them dangerous Because they can Little girls roam the streets tonight Because they can They hide their malice behind soft red light Because they can They’re looking dangerous because they can Little girl spent the whole night inside a stranger’s home She’s not coming back, she’s in a pool of blood and broken bones She got dangerous, yes she did. We are dangerous, looking dangerous This city’s dangerous, looking dangerous We’re looking dangerous, looking dangerous Because we can

I want to take your hand into mine I want to feel our fingers intertwine To feel the warmth on my skin A gesture so pure and innocent I want to take your hand into mine And I will stay like this As your footsteps break the silence Because I Love I want to feel your mouth move into mine I want them to part with a sigh I want to remember it in my dreams; something soft, something clean I want to feel your mouth move into mine And I won’t care as you take away my breath And leave me gasping for air Because I love I want to feel your body close to mine I want to keep you always by side And when you leave, I will hide. I have no reason to stay alive I want to feel your body close to mine And I won’t protest as you crack open my chest And remove what beats inside Because I love

Young Man Charge in head first You have to prove yourself You can ignore all the hurt Young man Don't let her go The pain of a heartache is the worst you'll ever know It'll wrench you, it'll wreck you and you'll do these things to forget You, young man Don't let her go I want you to be with me but your advice isn't needed I need to feel free and I don't think i need a reason Because I want to Because I can Because I'm feeling oh so reckless I love you because I love death Young Man, You’re doing it wrong If you keep doing these dangerous things, You won’t last long Young Man Don’t throw away your life I can’t let you be with me If you don’t come back tonight It’ll bend me, it’ll rend me Losing you would end me Young man Don’t throw away your life What am I supposed to say, that I’ll stay inside? I want to live this way, even if I lose my life Because I want to Because I can Because I’m feeling oh so reckless I love you Because I love death

Warning 03:15
Here on the side of the road sits a cross-shaped memorial covered in flowers And the feelings of guilt bring you from your bed to place them in the morning hours I tried to warn you But I guess you weren’t listening I tried to warn you But I guess you didn’t care Practically left a note Did you think it a joke? Did I not make myself clear? I tried to warn you Don’t say I didn’t Can’t bring yourself to say that you miss me But when I come to your thoughts, your eyes grow misty And the feeling’s always the same What if I didn’t treat life like a game? You didn’t think I’d go so far That I wouldn’t push so hard, that I wouldn’t break your heart And without a goodbye or a “so long” I took off, lost it all and am gone And now nothing feels right I tried to warn you But I guess you weren’t listening I tried to warn you But I guess you didn’t care Practically left a note Did you think it a joke? Did I not make myself clear? I tried to warn you Don’t say I didn’t And there’s no need rationalize Why you cry when someone dies And now you’ve learned to sympathize And not everyone is out to lie And now you’ll try to trust the truth Though now the point may be mostly moot And now you’ll be more careful when somebody loves you You watched me bleed and I hope you see I can’t offer an apology And I’m sorry I’m not sorry But you should have listened to me

about

A not-quite-demo collection of songs celebrating stupidity and recklessness inspired by a line from the movie "Wizard People, Dear Reader."

This one marks Kyle's first (and probably last) truly solo outing, playing and programming every instrument instead of abusing people who actually know how to play them.

released July 21, 2014

Performed, programmed, mixed and mastered by Kyle Walker

Thanks to Cem Omay for the cover photo!
