lyrics

you can take a swing
you can take a shot
I won't raise a hand
give me all you've got
it'll take a while
for the smile to come back

make me see the stars
make me see the light
I won't clench my fist
I don't have the fight
it'll take a while
for the smile to come back

and if I seem to invite it
just a little bit too much
I'm so alone I'm excited
for even that kind of touch

I won't turn away
I don't have the pride
I may walk and talk
but I'm dead inside
it'll take a while
for the smile to come back

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
