The Summons 01:13
None. Just vibes.
2.
Well it was so good seeing you do those things you do, so why the hell am I singing all the saddest songs tonight? Dragging out old memories, into purposely forgotten melodies. Well I guess that you're glad and happy to laugh, but you got me speeding down those lonesome roads tonight. Now that I know what I need, I don't know if it needs me. Yeah, now that I know what I need. You're my favorite enemy.
3.
A fully loaded clip in her mouth, with a bullet proof brain; and a body without any stains. She loves me now, then loves me not. Then she loves me with her fangs. SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO She can level the world, she can rebuild the sky; with just that look in her eye. You loose what you abuse, even if it's your fuse; or everything that you've got. Every move she makes, my soul is at stake; because my hearts become her own, and her hearts become my home. SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO She loves me now, then loves me not. Then she loves me with her fangs. SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO SHE CAME TO GO

Cannonball 02:23
I should just take it all myself. I should just pull it off the shelf. I should just say what it is I mean. I should just shake the balance beam. Cannonball I should have stopped it from the start. I should just cut out my own heart. I should stick my tongue into your wounds. I should be drunk today by noon. Cannonball
5.
A ticket torn in half that I never should have bought. She is one step in and she is one step out. All the hateful things that lovers love to say; and all the childish games that grown folks play.. Is driving my baby away. There's a lump in my throat as I try to lay still, and as I rest my head against the window sill. The soap wont wash away any regrets that I've saved; and time wont change what I meant to say.. And its driving my baby away.
6.
Baby's gonna go. Baby's gonna stay. We took a little drive. We came a long way. But maybe you just came along for the ride. I'll leave that for you to decide. We crawled a crooked mile just to walk a straight line. My best foot forward was a step behind. So I'll whisper upon deaf ears one more time. "Baby bring your heart back home to mine." They'll take me to the grave still loving you. Yeah, they'll put me in the ground loving you.

8.
Ooh, Baby, please don't cry. It's more than just temporary, so don't you compromise. Ooh, Baby, please don't cry. This moment is passing by. Here comes the sunshine. Don't forget to save a spot for me. Here comes a life line. I will let you bleed on me.
9.
The funniest thing I ever did see, was a drunk man stitching on a sewing machine. The scariest thing in this whole wide world, is to put your heart in the hands of a blue eye'd girl. And the craziest thing I've ever done done, was put a weight around my heart that weighed a ton. HONEY YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND
10.
My head is full of thunder. While my hands are full of rain. And my eyes are a step behind, because my heart is in a ball and chain. And whatever it is that floats your boat, will end up sinking my ship. So say "goodbye" like you mean it. And I'll swallow my pride, like it's poison. And I'll let you lick my bones clean. Because you're hungry for anything.
11.
Music and lyrics by Tom Waits.
12.
The morning sunlight paints your sleeping eyelids, while the blue screen on the TV paints the world that I'm in. And your pale blue eyes, And your pale white skin, got my head held together with a safety pin. Some silent mind explosion has got you moving on, from these stained lips that you once kissed upon. With thunder bolts and lightening, from the cloud that you're on. I guess no dream should ever last this long.

about

"A Long List of Shortcomings" is a bracing blast of fuzzed-out, melodic rock with heavy guitars and sugary hooks recorded at Rockefeller Hall."
- Andrew Dansby/The Houston Chronicle

"Frog Hair is a project that combines two beloved veteran
Houston shredders and song savants, Scott Ayers of the legendary
Pain Teens and Michael Haaga of metal powerhouse dead horse.
The result is an interesting melding of two like-minded noise-rockers who just so happen to have a jones for hooky pop tunes too."
- William Smith / Houston Press
