Well, listen to me, baby I know just where to Have some fun I got a Deathbox Jungle in My back yard, well come on The deep end’s sweet So get off your seat Eat concrete We’re gonna have some fun Yeah! (Chorus) Skate party! Pool cope! Lay back! Skate party! Come on honey, baby You know you don’t Have to be shy, no Just hit the back wall Make it on over that light The chase aint shit You know the waves are stiff Twist a little bit We’re gonna have some fun Yeah! (Chorus) Skateboard party, you know We’re gonna have some fun Wide wood, tall wheels Backside Disaster Run We got all night So move a little to the right We’re getting outta sight We’re gonna have some fun Yeah! (Chorus x2)

Sea Monster 01:38
A night as good as any To be lost out at sea The last of your food all gone Deflated yellow raft Birds circling It’s no surprise now It won’t be long You’ll think is morning As a light shoots In to the sky Squint your eyes to focus All too late realize This might as well Be a sign reading: Welcome to Hell So you panic and scream You’re thinkin’ This can’t be real You splash some water On your head The liquid stings your eyes You look at your hands And now you understand You’re floating in a sea of red The air gets thick and damp You hear the thunder crack Moving faster still But now there’s no turning back In the back of your mind You hear a voice scream: Welcome to Hell Sharpened rock teeth Tearing right through you You smell blood on your breath Silver eyes and emerald scales Pass through your sight And now you’re witness to Your own death No one ever hear of this Or even believe That you spent the last of your days In the belly of the beast Here’s your pink slip Welcome to Hell

I'm Infected 02:00
I got the germ I got the germ I got the dirt It makes me squirm It makes me squirm It makes me squirm I’ll never learn And I think I got the germ I got the gunk I got the gunk Its funny stuff It breaks me up It breaks me up It breaks me up Its getting rough And it really breaks me up High fever And Morphine Doctor says I should be in quarantine Blood Boiling And throbbing head I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected Strapping me down Strapping me down I can’t hold back I wanna snap I wanna snap I wanna snap Sleep like a bat And I’m eating all the rats I’m coming loose I’m coming loose Contagious too I’m after you I’m after you I’m after you I think it’s true And I’m really after you Mouth foamin’ And eyes red Feelin’ like I’m already dead Blood Boilin’ And throbbin’ head I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected I’m infected

Lyrics by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller: Take out the papers And the trash Or you don’t get no spending cash You’d better scrub That kitchen floor You aint gonna Rock and roll no more Yakety Yak Don’t talk back Just finish cleaning up your room Let’s see that dust fly With that broom Get all that garbage outta sight Or you don’t go out Friday night Yakety Yak Don’t talk back You just put on your coat and hat And march yourself To the laundry mat And when you’re finished Doing that Bring in that dog and Put out the cat Yakety Yak Don’t talk back Don’t you give me no dirty looks Your Papa’s hip Yeah, he knows what cooks Just tell those Hoodlum friends outside You aint got time to take that ride Yakety Yak Don’t talk back Yakety Yak Yakety Yak Yakety Yak Yakety Yak

Disaster Run 03:04

Sleep comes far too often In a life such as mine Days squandered on minutia And nights a waste of time My circumstances changed With a simple twist of fate Now I find myself Submerged in things No slumbered dream could make With a fleeting taste of danger And her aroma in the air My heart would beat much faster With excitement that I couldn’t bare Some time was still to pass for me Before I could see the wake But I left the ground The day I found What no slumbered dream could make Regret consumes with awful skill Those who dilute their thoughts And sorrow lives in weakness in minds That strength forgot So quick I was to abandon truth And conviction I’d too forsake But this melting clay that forgets its way No slumbered dream could make Grasping now as men will do On to the past once reassessed I delight in finding the luck enough to Light her cigarette Scornful of mind and weary of heart After every chance I take And the pain that’s left That chokes every breath No slumbered dream could make Sleep comes far too often In a life such as mine Days squandered on minutia And nights just a waste of time My circumstances changed With a simple twist of fate Now I find myself Submerged in things No slumbered dream could make With a fleeting taste of danger And her aroma in the air My heart would beat much faster With excitement that I couldn’t bare Some time was still to pass for me Before I could see the wake But I left the ground The day I found That small wave With perfect shape

The hand that feeds has poisoned me I don’t know where to run I’m eating pills and I’m breathing steam Speaking nothing but tongues I don’t know what I’m doing Confusion 20 metres thick Where are you supposed to turn to When the water makes you sick? I’ve seen the sun break through The cracks in the stone It means I’m running out of time There isn’t hope When the morning comes I’m just a corpse with open eyes Trust is ample, doubt rains from the sky And my lungs are filled with chalk I wanna tear out my insides And spill a sea of painful thoughts The weight of time is crushing From all sides it sets a pace The city’s looking so familiar Picturesque and rearranged I’ve seen the sun break through The cracks in the stone It means I’m running out of time There isn’t hope When the morning comes I’m just a corpse that’s still alive The hand that feeds has poisoned me And I don’t know where to run I’m eating pills and I’m breathing steam Speaking nothing but tongues I don’t know what I’m doing Confusion 20 metres thick Where are you supposed to turn to When the water makes you sick?

Shark Attack 02:30
Get torn apart Get ripped in half All mixed up Make a splash From nowhere comes A roaring, heathen blast Watch your back And get yourself attacked You gotta stall You gotta cut You gotta keep your Nose rail up Hang ten For just long enough Close your eyes Man, you’re outta luck Chorus: (x4) Shark Attack! Shark Attack! Aaaaah!!! Pipeline Close up Surfboard Shoot out Dive in Or be dragged down From the shore Aint no one can tell Strike quick And get beat Grey suit And sharp teeth You’re still alive When he starts to eat Before you know He’s swallowed up the beach (Chorus x4) Blood waves Sand stains Everything red Only way you’re leaving Either crippled or dead, go! Days getting longer Sand’s getting hotter Shark warning: Danger! Keep out of the water (Chorus x4)

Beach Party 04:36
BEACH PARTY! Listen for my call Keep checkin’ the mail They unlocked my cell And now I’m getting’ outta jail The California coast Is where I go for fun Jump in that Ho-Dad machine And meet me there by 1:00 Call up all your pals Tell them to call their friends Sun stroke setting in The list just doesn’t end Aint got no air condition No radio FM Riot on the main drag Traffic jam again The number 9 greyhound Driver’s going nuts Strapping 20 surfboards To the roof of the bus My buddies up the river They’re all turning green And any workin’ man aint Coming in this week Schools letting out In the early afternoon The kids are going crazy They just wanna move You bet they’re coming down They got nothing to lose And no one ever Really has anything to do Chorus: Dancing’s filthy stuff I hear ‘em roar I try to keep it clean But I just get bored They tell me that I drink When I should pray I tell ‘em they can talk all day Just don’t step on my BEACH PARTY! Everybody’s driving down At twice the posted speed The sun’s already setting You can’t escape the heat Roll the windows down Mop up all the sweat Collecting on your knuckles And rolling down your neck Truck filled up with Standard Van filled up with smoke 1000 people coming, man That aint no fucking joke Surfers get there earliest Of everyone I know Junkies take their time They’re always driving slow Thrashers aint too hard to book I called ‘em up today Got ‘em pretty cheap They don’t know how to play Next come bikini girls That didn’t come to tan Then a couple groupie girls That say they know the band Say you wanna make it But your car’s a piece of shit Head down to the road Stick out your thumb And try to hitch I think you better stand There aint no room to sit Come on join the party Just don’t step on it (Chorus) Swimming in the water Splashing up a storm Laying on the beach Getting pretty warm Shaking to the beat Stirring up the sand While every little girl’s Been drinkin’ like a man The sugar shack is closed They’re boarding up the doors It angried up the junkies They’re looting all the stores Empty bottles, empty cans Strewn along the beach Some coolers drifted out to sea And now they’re outta reach Baby Duck and Standard Mixing with the tides Fire pits-a-blazing Smoke fills up the sky Slice’s pizza boxes Piled into the air No one paid the driver But he don’t seem to care A couple fights are breaking out This party’s outta hand I didn’t see the sign “No parties after 10:00” Cherry tops are flashing Now they’ll throw me in the pen ‘Cause I’m neck deep in trouble And I’m going back again (Chorus)

Winnipeg’s surf/skate punkers have been living on a steady diet of pepperoni pizza and sticking to a grueling exercise routine.
