I Want It Faster

Rev it up, here I come
Keep the engine running
Get me out of this town
They got nothin for me
There’s a shift in the wind
And I gotta catch it
Feel like hell, can’t you tell
That’s my kind of heaven?
Yeah I move just like lightning
When my pistons are firing
Ohh
You’re going too slow
I gotta go
You can’t tell me no
You’ve had enough, I want it faster
Chasing the sun, return like Saturn
Live for no one
I’m going, going, I’m gone, gone, gone
Left your love in the dust
Push it to the metal
Gonna drive through the eye
Eye of a needle
No regrets, no sweat
No no no destination
Ready, set, all that’s left
Is acceleration
Yeah I move just like lightning
When my pistons are firing
When I’m running on empty
You still ain’t gonna catch me
You’ve had enough, I want it faster
Chasing the sun, return like Saturn
Live for no one
I’m going, going, I’m gone, gone, gone
No plans, no hands
And that’s how I like it
Better things wait for me
Over the horizon
No my heart can’t be caught
When I’m in that motion
Took the cash, lit the match
Wait for the explosion
You’ve had enough, I want it faster
Chasing the sun, return like Saturn
Live for no one
I’m going, going, I’m gone, gone, gone

When You Hear Me Comin'

You should ask yourself
What you stand for
Sitting is a comfort
I just can’t afford
You ain’t sayin much
You’re just following the form
Yeah it was quite the show
But who was the performance for?
You’re sitting ‘round the coals
Singing kumba-yadda-ya
I’m pissing gasoline
All over your scene, ha - ha
You say, “Now, honey,
Won’t you watch your mouth?
Little spit-fire
Won’t you put that out?”
You think you’ve seen just what I’m about? Huh?
It was what it was
Oh but it’s such a shame
You’ve been tracking mud
All over my good faith
You can cross your t’s
I can roll my eyes
But if you cross me
Well, you roll the dice
You won’t see me cry
Won’t even break a sweat
But the water’s getting high
It’s time you swam in it
I hope you’re real good at holding your breath
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When I follow through when I follow through?
Where you gonna run, where you gonna run?
When you hear me comin, when you hear me come?
And I mean it, darlin, every single syllable
Watch for me just in the edge of your peripheral
I’ll cut right through you as I’m walkin by
So don’t you try it, dontcha dontcha fucking try
Better beware
My twitchy finger
You should take care
‘fore you pull my trigger

Talk a little louder, my man
Help me un- help me understand
Same age as your daughter, goddamn
Don’t you reach, don’t you reach for my hand
A smile is not an invitation
There’s fire behind this laugh I’m faking
So talk a little louder, my man
Help me, help me, help me understand
You know, I kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face
You don’t like my "politics"
It’s radical for me just to exist, now
In everything I’m only pleasing myself
So you can spill your drink on somebody else
Two things my fingers weave, that’s
Car keys and guitar strings, yeah
I’ll never be the first to blink, no
I’m not the doll that you might think
Yeah, I kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face
Kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?

Ain't No Damsel

Brandy, Brandy
Is a fine girl
She don’t need your
Tired reminder
Layla, darling
Don’t be sorry
He can ease his
His own worries
You better run before they put you in a song
Imma tell that story ‘fore I let you get it wrong
Roxanne, yes ma’am
Nighttime crawling
Wear that dress and
Get your money
Mandy, listen, you
Got me shaking
You keep giving
They’ll keep taking
Spin that around before they get your number down
Imma tell that story and I’m gonna do it loud
You can ask for what you need
Be your own security
You’re on your knees
If he can sweep you off your feet
Cinderella
Turn that chapter
When your crystal
Slipper shatters
Sleeping Beauty
Tell Prince Charming
He can’t kiss you
With no warning
Those fairy tales, oh we all know the story well
But what happens if the maiden wants to save herself?
Juliet
Ain’t no damsel
She just fought a
Losing battle
Ladies, ladies
Own your power
Don’t waste time picking
Apart flowers
A rose by any other name would have its thorn
Imma tell that story ‘cause I
Imma tell that story ‘cause I
Imma tell that story ‘cause I know they got it wrong

The drive would have been pretty
If I wasn’t in a hurry
Ignoring any sounds
My mind and engine kept on making
And this town,
Which is all towns,
Is blurry
With one eye well slept
My other hasn’t woken up yet
Glitter’s sticking to my skin
Like it’s something I was born into
I wash it away
For a day, until my next debut
It’s a dream
A perpetual motion machine
‘Cause you don’t
No you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t
Get something for nothing
You know, I was born yesterday
And once again this morning
Woke up in a new place
And I’m packing up already
They’re cleaning out the ash trays
As I step over the bodies
Told them “I wish I could stay”
But then I kept on walking
It gets hard to dial the numbers
But I’ve got to call my mother
She thinks that I’m a winner
But I’m having sleep for dinner
Once again
No mom, I haven’t made it yet
But I’m still, oh I know, I’m still
Her best bet
You know, I was born yesterday
And once again this morning
Woke up in a new place
And I’m packing up already
They’re cleaning out the ash trays
As I step over the bodies
Told them “I wish I could stay”
But then I kept on walking
All I can do is watch it
Can’t stop the old pendulum swing
They’re rolling out the carpet
For the next pretty young thing
Perpetual motion machine
And I’m sorry
If my mouth is running
I better go, I better go catch it

Patty PerShayla Nashville, Tennessee
Despite being a three-piece band, The Mayhaps have developed a larger-than-life sound with soaring guitar solos and compelling vocal moments, featuring a spectacle of a five-foot-two (-and-three-quarters) woman, hooting and strutting across the stage, gracefully wielding a bass guitar almost the size of her wingspan. ... more
