Shippensberg

CKY

You know what makes me happy
The things that make you sad
The feel that I controls absorbed by the radio jag
I found my indecision
The product of the media grime
The feel that I control have you press rewind

And now I'm on the wings
Hoping that you'll hear
Don't bother to respond
You love to hear me again
And when the sun beams down all of your lies
Close, close, yeah close the light

The sky's all grey in the barracks I know I'm a lousy hero
The classic act of feeling is that of a memory

And you are peering down through parascopic eyes
Close, close, yeah close (conscience)

I try to hide the fact that I'm afraid
We'll drive the band to Shippensberg and hope that we get played

And in the end of a season the voices turn it all off
The things that were so meaningless 'til the next one comes along

I try to hide the fact that I'm afraid
We'll drive the band to Shippensberg and hope that we get played

    Shippensberg is a small town in PA. I can't remember what the song as a whole is about though.

    Great great song, first time I heard it I didn't like it. But listened to it again and LOVED it. Some of the song seems to be about dis-liking the media. And how it seems like the bad things in famous peoples lifes, are what most interests them("you know what makes me happy, the things that make you sad"). But I dunno about some parts of it though. And what's a 'radio jag' ?

    The song is about a band driving to Shippensberg to get on the radio. I think Deron said he didn't write the lyrics or something like that.
