silver rings and
magic things
your children
should not know
evil deeds
are rotten seeds
the kind that never grow
you put them in the ground you know
what you will become?
i'll tell you son

she traded life for happiness
with no regrets at all
it left a rotten emptiness
it left her feeling small
it left her nothing left at all
except something she despised
you see it in her eyes

she traded love for liberty
a bold pursuit of fun
she gave away her sanity
and found that she had none
watch quickly now as she becomes
something that she despised
feels it in her
she's living in a lie
and she's the center
she gave away her life
she's not a sinner

Update for no reason (this song isn't in rotation) 13 years later: They did in fact part company, but only after several more years. He was always able to conceal the dread of going out on tour or into the studio by putting a positive spin on things by noting the cool locations.

Definitely could use a bunch more BJM on RP!  Only recently got into them and realized how amazing they are.  While Anton is truly a bit insane, I don't think you can question his musical genius.  A VERY interesting and entertaining video about the band, and also their relationship with The Dandy Warhols is "Dig!" - highly recommend this award winning film.

BTW, do not know this song from this album - I have the album and no songs have this name?

They may have talent in coming up with a band name, but using the terminology of advanced music theory... this song sucks.

Thanks for the correction on the release date. Fixed.  And I'll bet there are times when your touring-musician buddy gets real jealous of guys like you at home with their family :-)

I ain't gonna lie, I am very surpised to see these guys on RP, they seem a little too "street" for the usual adult contemporary fare here.{#Lol}
