In Your Head 04:32
lyrics
buy track
The words are finally aligned The feeling that was left unkind The rumors that were never said Were only stuck inside your head In your head -- no one can save you In your head – no one can save you now In your bed – no one can touch you In your head – no one can touch you now The hour glass is floating down The best is sleeping underground The rain is turning into rust The mountains crumble into dust In your head -- no one can free you In your head – no one can keep you down In your bed – no one can hold you In your head – no one can hold you down No one loves you No one knows you No one loves you more than me No one sees you No one feeds you No one needs you more than me In your head In your head In your head – no one can touch you In your head c2010 By Wishnefsky

Setting Sun 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Gold as the dust that settles on your brow Cold as the wind that rustles through the bough Gold in your eyes and the fever starts to fail Cold in your hands as they fumble for the grail Here it comes Setting sun In the barrel of a gun It starts to show Starts to grow In the feathers of the crow It's never done Setting sun End of days has just begun Make it so Make it go Setting sun will always glow Old as the bones that rattle in your tomb Young as the night and the darkness starts to bloom Old as the day in the comfort of the womb Young as a rose with its poisonous perfume Here it comes Setting sun In the barrel of a gun It starts to show Starts to grow In the feathers of the crow It's never done Setting sun End of days has just begun Make it so Make it go Setting sun will always glow Always glow c2009 Wishnefsky

Ghost of Brookside Drive 04:22
lyrics

I used to be part of this I used to live within these walls Now I flicker in the candle-light The living souls couldn't heed my calls Love – Is the only thing that’s left of me Love – Is the only light that shines on me I vanish in the sunlight I vanish like a puff of smoke I chose to remain here Fell asleep and never woke Love – Is the only thing that’s left of me Love – Is the only light that shines on me Love – Is the only thing that’s in your eyes Love – Is the only light that ever shines c2010 By Wishnefsky

Looking back on a lifetime of sadness and remorse I postulate what put me down this deviant course Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me I can't control my emotions no matter what I do The sweeping hand of chance will tip the scales until I'm through Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me If anything good will come We all know where that came from Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me Sheer dumb luck You got me, you got me Sheer dumb luck

You'll Never Work In This Town Again 03:39
lyrics

Cheeks are puffy Eyes swollen Socket black and blue In his office After hours He met with you You’ll never work in this town again You’ll never work in this town You’ll never want to be seen again Until you bow your head down North Dakota In the winter Fields turn to ice Snow is falling He is calling Just close your eyes If you don’t get with the program now You’ll never work in this town You’ll never walk in the sun again Until you bow your head down You’ll never work in this town again You’ll never work in this town Nice to know you Don’t bother coming back Until you bow your head down c2010 by Wishnefsky

Night Will Fall 04:14
lyrics
buy track
The people of this town disappear at night Scramble like bugs in the kitchen light I don't want to know what they fear Hiding in the shadows . . . the shadows coming near Night will fall And cover you with rust Night will call In the darkness we will trust Something wicked stirring in the trees Satan's little hookers on their knees Insanity billows in the breeze Lethal spores in the air . . . in the air we breathe Night will fall And polish you with dust Night will call In the darkness we will trust I can hear scratching in the wall Waiting for the somber dark to fall Waiting for the solemn lullabies Waiting for the darkness . . . the darkness always lies Night will fall And cover you with rust Night will call In the darkness we will trust Night will fall Darkness we will trust Night will call In the darkness we will touch c2009 Wishnefsky

Isn't It Time? 04:52
lyrics

No way to satisfy I feel my fingers twitch It starts to multiply Can't seem to kill the itch You know it's not the only road Get it off Get it out of my code You take the sun I take the night You take the peace I take the fight You take the dark I take the light Isn't it time we got this right? No way to analyze What makes the feelings grow It starts to demonize Drowning in the undertow You know it's not the only way Get it off Get it off of my tray You take the sun I take the night You take the peace I take the fight You take the dark I take the light Isn't it time we got this right? Isn't it time we got this right? Isn't it time? Isn't it time we got this right? Isn't it time?

Afraid Of The Dark 04:02

Clouds obscure the sun There are whitecaps on the water As we move in single file At the service for his daughter I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid Of the dark No one is immune Come Hell or high water I can’t hold back my sorrow But I can hold my daughter She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid Of the dark

Clouds are forming in my mind I'm nowhere near the great divine Raining thoughts of lemon drops Once it starts it never stops Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Can you find me in my shell? Floating down like a diving bell Disappearing far below You won’t miss me when I go Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation c2010 by Wishnefsky

Guard Rail 04:08
lyrics

Snowflakes are falling on Alistair Cover his body like dreams Icicle halo upon his head Death isn't quite what it seems He left the Sebastians at three o'clock Refused invitations to stay The wine in his bloodstream, the wine in his head The steering wheel started to sway He broke through the guard rail at four o'clock Abigail waited at home He rolled seven times and came to a rest She parted her hair with a comb Snowflakes are falling like parachutes Landing on Alistair's grave Abigail looks at her wrist-watch and sighs Her husband is seldom so late Snowflakes are falling in somersaults Alistair dreams of his bed Abigail sits at a table for two The wine in his bloodstream, the wine in his head Snowflakes are falling . . .

Nervous Time 04:38
lyrics

Hidden in the floorboard Underneath the bed Blood still running Pounding in my head Heart still pumping I’m trying to ignore Now the heat is coming Rapping at my door Can’t you see? Yes, I’m quite all right Can’t you tell? Would you like a light? Nervous time I could make some tea Nervous time There’s nothing wrong with me Say what you will Any man could learn to kill Say what you like Any man could learn to strike Wicked eye staring Deep into my soul Wait until he’s sleeping Before I take control Heart still pumping Ticking in my head Burning in my ears The shouting of the dead Can’t you tell? I like to stay up late Can’t you see? I don’t believe in fate Nervous time Won’t you take a seat? Nervous time There’s nothing wrong with me Say what you will Any man could learn to kill Say what you like Any man could learn to strike Deep in the night Like a moth is drawn to light His evil eye Had to shut, it had to die

Completely Fucked Up 05:09
lyrics

I've been talking to the wall Because it always listens Haven't seen the sunshine Or the moonlight glisten The nurse is coming With the great syringe They hold me down She puts the needle in ***** Here I go again Thoughts racing far and wide As if an atom bomb Has detonated inside Here I go again I'm burning out like wax Non-stop acceleration Every dial at the max ***** Everything is flawless All my needs are met Haven't seen a human Since I smashed the TV set ***** Here I go again Haven't slept in 7 days Cover me with kerosene Tonight I'm going up in flames Here I go again Spinning like a top It's no exaggeration I just want this shit to stop

Clouds are forming in the sky The best laid plans gone awry Fiasco You got back to your little home Where the mighty buffalo roam In the end you end up all alone Nothing left except your flesh and bone Fiasco Clouds are forming in my mind Feels like it’s raining all the time Fiasco maximus Fiasco

Rabbit Hole 04:34
lyrics
buy track
I’m sick of all the conversation It’s an overload of information Anxiety across the nation It’s harder to resist temptation The panic state is getting stronger Encouraged by the filthy fear-mongers Who stick their paws inside your trousers To fund a pack of rabble-rousers Strap it on tonight Rabbit hole in sight Can’t tell left from right Going down tonight I know you want me to change my thinking Reassure me that the ship’s not sinking A game of chicken and you’re not blinking The glass of kool-aid that you’re always drinking You’ve been sleeping with a girl named Alice Who’s well acquainted with your chalice But there’s a better chance of snow in Hades Then getting me to party with that lady Strap it on tonight Rabbit hole in sight Can’t tell left from right Going down tonight

about

This is a collection of your favorite songs from three recent records by Wishnefsky:

Nightwalker (2010)
Fiasco - Book One (2010)
Fiasco - Book Two (2011).

Some of the songs have been slightly remastered and we cropped the ending section off In Your Head (i.e. gave Your Head a haircut).

Wishnefsky wrote, performed, and recorded these songs. Michael James mixed and mastered them.

The last song, Rabbit Hole, is from Fiasco - Book Two and features vocals by a lovely, talented, and serious young lady named Sophie Wellen.

Besides contributing her singing talents, Sophie also took the cover photograph of Wishnefsky on an old Polaroid camera.

And now we will sneak back into our bunker and batten the hatches until the revolution starts, which, in case you were wondering, ought to be in about an hour. So have a listen and then change the world. We're depending on you.
