lyrics

There's a picture on my dashboard that's fading in the sun
There's a picture in my mind as I'm fumbling with my gun
There's a song on the radio I ain't heard in 20 years
There's only one way I'll ever stop these tears

The mind's eye can picture you clear as day
The eye's mind remembers...
But I want those memories far away!
Like dying embers

There's a twitch in my hand as I tighten my fingers
There's a smile on my face as I pull the trigger
There's a song on the radio I ain't heard in 20 years
There's a hole in my head to let out the fears

The mind's eye can picture you clear as day
The eye's mind remembers...
And I put those memories far away
Like dying embers

about

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
