Lyrics: My Stadium Electric

ELEVATOR
(Erin McCarley, Jamie Kenney)

Rewind to the scene
Where we lost it to the birds and the bees
We got caught up in the corner
Of a mousetrap one summer’s eve
Our highs win a 5 star trophy
For love; we’re all the right things

Lace lies underneath the yellow clock
And the fox outside sings a lullaby
Spotlight steaming up the silver room
And its safe to assume we won’t stop

Up! My elevator goes
Up! I think you found your way

Green lights cover the air
When you tell me that you love me
I see fireflies and kaleidoscopes,
The time’s running out before the shake shake
Please, please don’t let me be of waste;
Can I taste the peanuts in your pocket?

Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way

Uh Oh, I’d really like to show
Just how high this could go
I’ll let you look a little, look a little
Closer now, just let me tell you how
i like the shock that i get when you go...

Switch the lights my stadium’s electric
Top flying off with this inauguration
Dancing down to the Paradise City
Hills are alive, the river’s running over
Talk to me. I like to hear the pictures that you take when your minds off
We go...

Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way

oooooooo

Van Gogh’s dancing on the wall
And sunflowers fall yellow all around
You’re painting all of my numbers
And I start to feel another shake shake

Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think we found our way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way

YOU’RE NOT THAT SOMEONE
(Erin McCarley)

Your talkin from your bully pulpit
Look at me like Im your culprit
Dressup like a badmad hatter
Climbing people like a ladder
Hands below do all the rowing
Up on deck you get to crowing
Stealing from the other chicks
And calling it good politics

The world let’s you do
Anything you wanna do
If your someone
If your someone
You think I’ll do anything you want me to
You think your someone
You’re not that someone

Who made you the Holy Sheriff
Show me someone you take care of
Power power is your drug
Bloodstains on your bearskin rug
At the top you push the buttons
Don’t know why you push the buttons
Crooked smile’s always lying
Hides the clown that’s cryin

The tables round and for a reason
Every player has a season
Something soon is gonna give
And you’ll be begging us to live

World let’s you do
Anything you wanna do
If your someone
If your someone
You think I’ll do anything you want me to
You think your someone
You’re NOT that someone

If it hollers then let it go
Pins and needles take their toll

Birds and trees cant get much higher
Air is gettin thick and biting
Off the edges off of the ocean
One by one we give a notion

We don’t care who’s sick and dying
And don’t walk in shoes of the starving
You abuse the fruit of your freedom
Forget the cloth that we’re made of (We come from)
Captives fill up the land with
Guns and glitter shoot off the
Commandeer your little pulpit

Watch each others every move
Like child kings with things to prove

WHAT I NEEDED
(Erin McCarley, Kate York)

You got all in my head
And took over my hands
You’re all that I’m breathing
You got all in my head
Now Im singing…

I walked alone
And there you found me
I was so cold
But you surrounded
Every single broken part of me
Forgot who I could be
All along what I needed
What I needed was you

Lets push nothin aside
And take off in the night
This spark isn’t leaving
I don’t care what’s behind us
No one’s here to remind us

I walked alone
And there you found me
I was so cold
But you surrounded
Every single broken part of me
Forgot who I could be
All along what I needed
What I needed was you

POPGUN
(Erin McCarley, Trent Dabbs, Joshua Crosby)

I’m not the kind that lays on ground
Full of drama going up and down
I’m a straight shooter you could find it out
if you’re gonna play a game
Standin on your head fumbling words
Pulling my hair and kickin up dirt
You’re talkin trash and its startin to work
Boytoy I’m takin aim

I see the spark dancing in your eyes
Adrenaline sneaking up behind
No pressure just a night out of your life
I got you where I want you

Put ‘em up Put ‘em up
Taking everything you got
B b bang B b bang
Go straight for the heart
Give it up give it up
Yeah you know you wanna
B b bang B b bang
Strung off my popgun

I’m trigger happy I tracked you down
Locked the door go on make a sound
In the dark feel your way around
Oh oh I dare you now

I see the fire racin in your eyes
No conversation just an open mind
No pressure just the best night of your life
I got ya where I want you

Put ‘em up Put ‘em up
Taking everything you got
B b bang B b bang
Go straight for the heart
Give it up give it up
Yeah you know you wanna
B b bang B b bang
Strung off my popgun

Better watch out I’m a loaded weapon
Boy look out
Ch ch bang bang...

Put ‘em up Put ‘em up
Taking everything you got
B b bang B b bang
Go straight for the heart
Give it up give it up
Yeah you know you wanna
B b bang B b bang
Strung off my popgun

VERTIGO
(Erin McCarley, K.S. Rhoads)

The cat is in the corner
A purring pantomime
I feel a calm condescension
Castin’ from his eye
I swear he’s onto me
Yeah he’s onto me
The static of the city
A shot into the vain
And I know the night owls in the alley
They need their Novocain
I got that rush in the head
I gotta a boy in a bed

Oh Vertigo, It’s got me
And I don’t wanna let it go
Yeah…

There’s ruby castles in the air
They’re ticking like a bomb
Any trace of clinical condition
I wanna get it off
And get my legs in the sea
I wanna swim in the sea
There’s one kind of lover
That holds you at bay
Don’t even give him attention
It’ll never change
So come on out of the box
Like a new machine
Like the way you fly in a dream
The new is the new high
It’s alright

Oh Vertigo, It’s got me
And I don’t wanna let it go
Yeah, I’m in Vertigo
Turning and I don’t wanna let it go

The storm’s above the clouds
The rainbow seems to know it’s over now
I hang beneath the bells
And swing within the swells

Oh Vertigo, It’s got me
And I don't wanna let it go
Whoa, I'm in Vertigo
Yeah, I'm Turning out of control...

RE-ARRANGE AGAIN
(Erin McCarley, Jamie Kenney, K.S. Rhoads)

Verse 1
Why does it feel its gonna hurt the same?
You gotta live until you die
Lost in the silence of a long delay
You laugh until you cry
Flowers fade the spaces of our lives
They remind us to forget the pain

Chorus
All the shadows, All the shields
All the voices, Stir the fields
We gotta lift our eyes to the dawn through a forest of forgotten tears
Let it all out, let your guard down, let it fall down
Let it all out, let your guard down, let it fall down
And rearrange again

Verse 2
Words they don’t ever seem to feel the same
When you hear them over time
How do you ever let go of the shame
When you’ve left someone behind?
Flowers hang their faces over our lives
They remind us to forgive the pain

Chorus
All the shadows, All the shields
All the voices, Stir the fields
We gotta lift our eyes to the dawn through a forest of forgotten tears
Let it all out, let your guard down, let it fall down
Let it all out, let your guard down, let it fall down
And rearrange again

Its time to say goodbye and start over…
(Repeat)

FEVER
(Erin McCarley, Sacha Scarbek)

Verse 1
As I stand in this maze, I’m feeling very naked
Like a wolf in a cage, I start to celebrate the one thing I cant taste
I cant taste anymore
Plannin’ how to rise out of this pile of ashes
But I’m heavy; I’m no phoenix
I’m tied up with sadness
It’s a game with a ghost
A ghost that won’t go away

Chorus
Fever lights me up your way
Panic rushes out my veins
What can I do about it
I just cant live without it

Verse 2
With my legs off the edge and underneath I’m glowing
Feel the force I’m alive can’t say I’m undergoing all the classic signs to make a better place
As Prokofiev plays on out his lullabies
He hypnotizes the wilderness that lives inside
All the magic and beauty can’t put out the fire

Chorus
Fever lights me up your way
Panic rushes out my veins
What can I do about it
I just cant live without it

THERE’S NO HOLDIN’ YOU DOWN
(Erin McCarley, Daniel Tashian)

Face whatever you fear
Don’t scare the birds away
I’ll come over and get you off your dotted line
That careful dotted line

We can write the story
You don’t have to worry
There’s no holdin you down
There’s no holdin you down
Open up the champagne
Now your swingin from your chandelier
There’s no holdin you down
There’s no holding you down here

Face whatever you hate
And then throw it in the fire
No no, there’s no such thing as bad press
Let optimism find you, meet you
In your crowded mind
That dangerous mind

We can write the story
You don’t have to worry
There’s no holdin you down
There’s no holdin you down
Open up the champagne
Now your swingin from the chandelier
There’s no holdin you down
Theres no holdin you down here

We can write the story
You don’t have to worry
There’s no holdin you down
No one’s holding you down
Open up the champagne
Nothing is impossible to be
Theres no holdin you down
Theres no holdin you down

No one’s holdin you down
There’s no holdin you down here

SURVEY
(Erin McCarley)

Do my heart a favor; wonder.
Wonder how you’d look together with me,
With me
I’ll do my part to stay in hunger.
Hunger for your heart to be together with me,
With me

Say what you see, Behind those eyes in that colorful mind
What’s the survey say?

The state of not knowing where we’re gonna land
Has me floating
We make our own cast to protect another break
Send the guards away
And come back home to me

Steal my thoughts and calm this beating
Beating heart once lost now healing in me,
In me
Let’s tune our hearts to hear the feeling
It comes when our heart’s willing to be,
To be

Say what you see; behind your eyelids
Oh, Colorful Mind, What’s your survey say?

The state of not knowing where we’re gonna land
Has me floating
We make our own cast to protect another break
Send the guards away
Come back home to me

Wash your worry off the past and all the in between
Take your weary hope and open up to what could be
You and me

The state of not knowing where we’re gonna land
Has me floating
We make our own cast to protect another break
Send the guards away
Come back home to me

AMBER WAVES
(Erin McCarley)

The stars align
The amber waves aren’t far behind
You make me twist in harmony
You rock me in your velvet sea
Its our illusion off the map
Its so emotive off the map
Now im alive and undefeated
Sleep is overrated i can see the air so
Clearly and its easy

Chorus
Lay upon the edge to see this storm collide
I can feel the rise coming
I can feel the ride
Wave your hands out to get caught up in the tide
I can feel the rise coming
I can feel the ride

Verse 2
I Found the secret of a one shop lottery
Its all we needed
Conversation you shape with your hands
Its obvious you want in that
Its obvious you want it bad
The cup is overflowing with the gold
Its ours to have yeah to unfold
Rows and rows of dizzy elevation to be

Chorus
Lay upon the edge to see this storm collide
i can feel the rise coming
i can feel the ride
Wave your hands out to get caught up in the tide
I can feel the rise coming
I can feel the ride

JUST ANOTHER DAY
(Erin McCarley, Martin Terefe, James Bryan)

Bat bat I bat my eyes for that
That that what I cant catch
Oh it’s driving me crazy
Work work I work the whole day long
Longest ever song
I sing it louder cuz maybe

I can be the next one up the ladder;
Show for something clever

Paint the moon
Paint the town
Make it loud
Its just another day
Stomach growls
With hopes for being found
In the crowd
Its just another day
Lace my ties and cut my hair again
I get inspired then my mind turns off again
Its just another day

Drink drink I drink my whiskey neat
Need need to please the boys club
Which one of you is the leader?
Numb numb The Dummy has his thumb
Down down on everyone
Hey, where are all of the dreamers?

I can be the next to walk on water
I’ll close my eyes and stumble down the way

Paint the moon
Paint the town
Make it loud
Its just another day
Stomach growls
With hopes for being found
In the crowd
Its just another day
Lace my ties and cut my hair again
I get inspired then my mind turns off again
Its just another…

oooooooooo

Paint the moon
Paint the town
Make it loud
Its just another day
Stomach growls
With hopes for being found
In the crowd
Its just another day
Lace my ties and cut my hair again
I get inspired then my mind turns off again
Its just another day

Paint the moon
Paint the town
Make it loud
Its just another day
Spinnin round
With hopes for being found
In the crowd
Its just another day
Lace my ties and cut my hair again
I get inspired then my mind turns off again
Its just another day

HUSH HUSH
(Erin McCarley, Jamie Kenney)

Verse 1
You’re going fast
But your better half
Is underground
And going down
They need a little pick up
From the webs and the bonds
Their pulse is slowing down
Don’t lose your love to the stars

Verse 2
They’ll hold it all in
This pattern starts to win
A paper doll army
Full of colorful defenses
Will sound an alarm
But tear apart where you can’t see it
For the sake of your lover’s heart
Turn the light up to the pieces

Chorus
Hush Hush Oh you can hear it beating
Hush Hush Oh listen to the wreckage of the fall
The shadows hold the sound of what a heart is feeling
Hush Hush

Verse 3
The fortune of a day
Is finding meaning in the making
But you’re giving to the chaos
With this systematic tradeoff
While the portrait of the other
Is fading out of all the glow
The changing of the guard
Covers all the suffering below

Chorus
Hush Hush Oh you can hear it beating
Hush Hush Oh listen to the wreckage of the fall
The shadows hold the sound of what a heart is feeling
Hush Hush

Bridge
Deep, deep in the dark
A luminary heart
Tears it apart
To begin
Holding your hand
Holding the ends together

Chorus
