lyrics

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

Patty PerShayla image

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
