Wound up in the role of victim, a part, for which I’m well equipped
Never could resist a smoker with caramel candy on her lips
Drown with the best of these bad intentions on an ever sinking ship
Denying every inhibition for the dream of Acropolis
Here’s to all the lovers
The liars and the cheats
She’s a stain on your intentions
Her scent will never, ever, ever leave your sheets
She's got the curves that keep 'em coming over, define such personality
Her whiskey kisses will take you higher before they drop you to your knees
Bury all of your desires in the cauldron of her needs
Loves like a backroom game of poker full of velvet memories
Here’s to all the lovers
The liars and the cheats
She’s a stain on your intentions
Her scent will never, ever, ever leave your sheets
Courting Rachel
Slide on down the sides, of this cloudy wet and warm decanter
Caramel color pushing fresh blood, rushing to your cheeks
Sway in circles, feel the pulsing, moving gently with the beat
Intoxicating there is no debating
She’s the dirty little secret that you wanna keep
Now we’re…

Past the lips through the back of the tongue
Straight to the source of songs unsung
Careening down through the esophagus
It’s just a candy coated dream that takes the fright out of us… Out of us
Dilation brings your eyes to the shore
Though a sea of light floating on a neon door
Restless sheets that's the reason we’re here
Designer drugs only help us keep the intention clear… Intentions clear
Let it inside, take on the ride
It beats suburban suicide
Accosting your pride
You realize that this life is better with… Overkill
All this pressure in a day at a time
To keep the middle-aged dreams at the back of the line
Carried away on a gurney of blood
It’s cause we choose to sweat out fear in the color of love… Of love
Let us inside, take on the ride
Escape suburban suicide
Costing your pride
You realize that this life is better with… Overkill
Overkill, Over-run, Over-written and Out-gunned x4
But fuck it, we’re just havin’ fun (we’ll be having fun)

Exit that Crown Vic at the end of this cul de sac in the dead of night.
Pass through a dead bolted door overwhelmed by an instinct to run and hide.
Patted down inside, they take the only clip from the trusty gun at your side.
One bought out cop and shakedown gone wrong will forever change your life
Don’t you fucking tell me what I’m supposed to pay you for, punctuate this message, with a bullet in the floor.
Tailing you so easy, cause we’ve got friendlies on the force, so don’t go seeking justice, ‘cause it won’t help you anymore.
This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave; results in building paper homes full of empty words and open flames.
Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies, or bemoaning past transgressions with politicised apologies.
If together we can’t stand then united we will fall, this show must go on but we’re no damn help at all…
Put rounds through a barrel to bring out the feral
To feel like you’re walking the line
Enlisting you lookout and getaway driver, you’re part of the perfect crime
Off and away once the safe has been cleared out you’ve never felt so alive
Yet deep in the forest dividing the spoils you sense that you’re living a lie
No one’s gonna free you, when you willingly agree, to Napoleonic orders from a band of merry thieves. Tricking you so easy, cause you’re piss and vinegar, think yourself above reproach but you’re just a lonely cur, you’re just a lonely cur my boy...
This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave results in building paper houses full of empty words and open flames.
Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies, or bemoaning past transgressions with politicised apologies.
If together we can’t stand then united we will fall, this show must go on but we’re no damn help at all…

Desire

Confronting flame, sheets of ice
Words of love fall silent in the cosmos of her eyes
Orbit the warm sun with passions gravity
Planets form, seas will rise
Above the screaming of volcanoes spewing ash into the sky
Rains will fall, beneath the stars
Evolution on the shore brings us these ever beating hearts
So here we are, modern-day
Lips are trembling as she guides you
beneath her negligee
Seize this moment before it’s lost to time
Bonds are formed, pulses rise
Above the screaming of her passions and the calm beneath her sighs
Can’t be saved from the angel's choir
Soft lips touching skin pulls us ever further in…
to desire. Desire.
Gravity pulls us until we’re intertwined
We're coming together in the vacuum of time
Shattered we fall from the darkness of space
Crashing to earth in this satisfied state of...
Desire

Animal

Breathe in, close your eyes, feel her skin, now open your eyes
Is the prey ready for pursuit?
Senses heightened, we’re both frightened, but we’re still compelled to move, let’s dance, let’s begin...
Drink her in, taste the sweat, graze her lips they’re parted and wet
A gentleman, poised and full of class but she really wants her hair pulled as you smack her on the ass, no we can’t, it’s such a sin…
You’re no animal, you’re no animal, or are you? Or are you?
You’re no animal, you’re no animal, or are you? Or are you?

Herb & Jellyfish Seattle, Washington
Herb & Jellyfish is an original five member rock band from Seattle, WA. Formed in 2016 by Bradford King. Our sound is heavily influenced by the work of Muse and Morphine. Shredding guitar solos, ethereal sax riffs, big vocals, and complex bass runs make for an unusual rock experience. ... more
