about

Recorded on an old analog tape machine at Spatolas.

lyrics

Meet me at high noon
I’ll try to
Tell you how I feel
(If I have the guts)
Cause what do I got to lose?...

...When I’m finite
Like limelight
You stand in all the time
(Please give me just one try)
What’d ya got to lose?

You left me at midnight
It’s alright
Now I’m stronger than I was
( I learn straight from the pain)
What did I have to lose?...

Now, the fear is a punchline
I’m setting up to kill
(Cause life is but a joke)
So what do I got to lose?

It’s time we found a compromise
Why you baggin on me?
It’s time that we enjoy this life
Before it’s dark infinity
So tell me...
What’d ya got to lose?
