adirondackmusic More Drinks Somehow is one of my favorite songs of all time. This album is about dirty dishes and that is the shiny plate under the gunk of the underbelly of music. Favorite track: More Drinks (Somehow).

Get Away 02:37
i couldn't wash even one more plate not one more fork or spoon i couldn't wait even one more second i had to get away and all my friends had flown the coop cuz i was the last chicken and i wasn't gonna stay another second even if it burned a bridge and i wish that i'd been more careful i wish i'd stood up for me that's the price you pay for cowardice that's the price you pay for coward i suppose i should have been a little braver trapped there standing there cracks in the ground i can't stay here one more and i would stand my ground and i try to run it down i am the water on the ground i am the water everywhere i am the water underground that's the price you pay for coward i suppose get away get away take away something from this experience get away get away take away something home with you get away get away get away get away get away get away and take something home with you so you can get away get away get away get away get away take something home with you so you can get away

about

"I made this EP to commemorate all the life and spirit lost working as a dishwasher in a restaurant. I wrote a bunch of songs that all had something to do with how great it was to quit my job and then I hired KC Green to do cover art because I thought if anybody could capture how terrible it is to work at a restaurant, it'd be him." -Cy Parker

Check out the full-length lyric video too. A cut up version of a horror movie so that it's short and you can still kinda follow the plot! But with lyrics to this album over it!
