Careful Man, There's a Beverage Here!

about

i had pretty much an entire record written for my old band, but when that folded i decided to recycle some parts of songs i had saved up and incorporate them into signals midwest songs. this is a good example of that. the chorus was written a few months before anything else, which caused the song to not be centered around one specific topic...as most of my songs aren't.

i guess this is just about the madness of growing up. and about taking chances and making the best of potentially bad situations. yeah, that's kind of vague.

lyrics

Scream it over towering buildings
Sing it past the highway signs
We were yelling in the streets in the middle of the night

So take the shoreway to dead man’s curve
Hit it doing 85
Pray when you go around the turn you will make it out alive

You should see my head, it’s spinning like the world does
And if it stops we all fly into space.
This is the end of everything I know
For the love of God take me away

This is an affirmative decision
A means to find a better way
I hope these songs suffice as an acceptable way for me to say
I never wanted it to be like this!

You should see my eyes, they’re stuck permanently open
And something I don’t know is clouding my sight
I’ll write my name a thousand different ways
But none of them seem to look right

So you stand by what you subscribe to
Put on your suit and get in line
Anything less than everything you’ve got would be such a waste of time
