Well the sky is darker than the barrell of a gun And the wind blows faster than a man can run But I just want to find the people who know how to have fun On a cold, dark night So let’s grab some whiskey bottles and some cheap cigars We’ll head out to the highway and make some noise with these guitars And even though we’re thankful for them we’ll still hide our scars On that cold, dark night Why’re we dying on this land? Why’re we dying on this land? Why are we forsaken, lost and shamed, forgotten Why are we both rotten in the memories of man? Well I hear they’re selling tickets to the ending of the war I guess they wait until it’s over to tell you what it was all for But even though it’s peacetime we’ll still lock our doors In the cold, dark night Sometimes I sit and wonder who the happy people are Cause they ain’t the ones with money or the extra homes and cars And it sure as hell ain’t me or anyone else in this bar On this cold dark night Why’re we dying on this land? Why’re we dying on this land? Why are we forsaken, lost and shamed, forgotten Why are we both rotten in the memories of man? In the memories of man, the memories of man In the memories of man, the memories of man They’ll erase you where stand from the memories of man And remove you from the plan in the memories of man

I like the way you stand I like the way you stand Like you don’t need a man I like the way you stand I like the way you walk I like the way you walk Now there’s no need to talk babe I like the way you walk Why don’t you stand here baby by my side Get in my car and we’ll go for a ride Well I know that you’ve got something to hide But baby I don’t mind I like the way you dance I like the way you dance Tell me if I have a chance, babe I like the way you dance I like the way you kiss I like the way you kiss I don’t think you’ll even miss me, babe I like the way you kiss So why don’t you stand here baby by my side Get in my car and we’ll go for a ride Well I know that you've got something to hide But baby I don’t mind.... But I hate the way you lie I hate the way you lie, girl Like you don’t have to try I hate the way you lie I hate the way you scheme I hate the way you scheme I was on your team, babe I hate the way you scheme Well you waited till you had my heart And proceeded babe to tear it apart Well you can break a man and call it art Well baby aren’t you smart? But I like the way you stand

about

Whippoorwill Oakland, California

Like the eerie call of their avian namesake, Whippoorwill's sound is hauntingly familiar: rock and roll with readily apparent traces of it's folk and blues ancestors. This trio seeks to prove that crashing drums, blistering guitar and raunchy bass are all you need to bring the house down. ... more
