lyrics

You played the game anew,
saw the ball from a different angle.
And now as you swing through,
as always, so much to do.
You can let if flow forth, wash away, throw it all out.

Turning a phrase, damn it to hell.
Feel the malaise seeping in
Do it again, I doubt it’s a sin.
Don’t feel ashamed of sleeping in.

In the interest of saving face,
you changed the names, rearranged the place.
The only victim then was taste.
You shrug your shoulders, it doesn’t matter.
You can tear it apart, set it ablaze, frame it in archival glass.

Turning a phrase, damn it to hell.
Feel the malaise seeping in
Do it again, I doubt it’s a sin.
Don’t feel ashamed of sleeping in.

It gets heavy, it grows dark.
They’re shining flashlights outside the park,
looking for your hit’s remains.
You’d like to think so, you hope it does go.
You can show a close friend, post it online,
or carry it with you to your grave.

Turning a phrase, damn it to hell.
Don't feel the malaise creeping in
Do it again, I doubt it’s a sin.
Don’t feel ashamed of sleeping in.

This is a nice set of alt versions, I really enjoyed this. The piano was particularly a lovely addition. rbrow02y

It seems almost subversive to pen songs this joyous and uplifting. An ode to the power of music to connect us to one another. Brian Carman

Steals the Hits Off Country Beauties
by Mike Adams At His Honest Weight

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Game”

It takes its lack of seriousness seriously in the best kind of way--brilliant, unpredictable choices for this outstanding artist to cover with the likes of Roseanne Cash, Mary Chapin Carpenter, etc. All this Indiana gem is missing is a Jann Browne cover... Jake Stebner

May be my favorite Mike Adams album. Its concise, tight and exhilarating. The songs are consistently in my head. Mike should be more well known than he is. I don't know who is better at writing hooks than him. Amazing album. Matthew Novak
