A reminder that buzzes wear off and debts to one's liver must be repaid.

lyrics

If I had to place my bet before the deck was even cut
I'd lay my chips on a joker that looks like you
I'll go get us two more beers. We're still trying to break even
I guess that someone else can drive us home.

Don't believe that this will last forever
Tonight's just a wish to deny the dawn
Heads are spinning in smaller and smaller circles
But like an axis you're right there for me to center my world on

Don't give me a motivation to make things more complicated
Cuz my deepest dreams are nothing you wanna hear
I'd like to think that I'm fairly handsome and the girls ain't paid to smile
But their voices sound as spent as dollar bills

Don't believe that this will last forever
Tonight's just a wish to deny the dawn
Heads are spinning in smaller and smaller circles
But like an axis you're right there for me to center my world on

All the world's a basement stage and we are merely beer-drenched players
Paradise is disguise for an hour or two
I thought my mask was something special but as dawn sneaks through the doorway
I see it's just a joker who looks like you

Don't believe that this will last forever
Tonight's just a wish to deny the dawn
Heads are spinning in smaller and smaller circles
But like an axis you're right there for me to center my world on
Yeah you're right there for me to center my world on

The Benzoes Winchester, Virginia

The Benzoes do Virginia Valley Punk. We tip our cap to old-school punk from both coasts, and the classic fury of jolly ol' England. We likewise dab our brush with some metal, alternative rock, indie rock, garage, blues, and just plain old noise before we unleash it on an unsuspecting canvas. ... more
