blood disguises your red mud houses walls crumbling worldwide you're balled up with a baby inside just take a pill the morning after in your crashed car white lightning, cliche locked hands, you can't pray black holes in my head don't look take a photo instead a can of worms, a heart of darkness and your crashed car... say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us just say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us just pray... (don't wanna find out...) (i can't fall in love again...) no, i can't stay, i won't pray for you or your crashed car... say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us just say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us when you try to speed up, your heart slows down you jump right in with your head in the ground time slows down... say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us just say a prayer, my lover become my lover say a prayer for us just pray...

No Vacation 03:58
government lies, soviet spies, terrorist flies a plane into two tall towers kids on the move, deep in the groove trying to prove they're more than merely peace and flowers shoot for a shade of gray, what do we try to convey, we've got to find a way out of this rubble how can we deny that's how angels fly we don't need no vacation, honey we don't need no control we don't need no vacation, honey we don't need no control welcome home, sons of america! chase the bright lights of america! join the new tribes of america! pack your bags and run america! we don't need no vacation, honey we don't need no control we don't need no vacation, honey we don't need no control

about

Moniker’s debut EP is a celebration of city life gone mad: the jagged electricity, the bright lights, neon signs, fast cars and hell-bound horns... the struggle and sadness of the melancholy majority who hate their lives 99% of the time... and the celebration of those brief moments -- Friday nights out, that beautiful girl on the subway, a memorable concert in the park -- the times that make living in the city worthwhile.

It's a concrete jungle, but among the lost lonely lions, slick city snakes, and manic meth-head monkeys, you stumble upon a scenic waterfall every once in a while that makes you forget you may have malaria.

Recorded during winter and spring of 2009 in Cambridge and Plymouth, “Kid Kelly” consists of songs written during what some might consider a quarter-life crises.
