Another nail in my coffin Another tear stain on my sleeve All the things I've forgotten Dottie Danger carries with her in the street She's got a nose for trouble They say she should keep it clean Pirouettes through the rubble Our blessed lady of matchsticks and gasoline Out on the scene, above "The Times" She lives for the sun and the perfect crime Dottie Danger, there's none stranger, a mystery to all Don't let them change it, rearrange it, it's not something to be solved They say your rage is one of those phases you will grow out of Well, they can politely fuck right off The here and now bite the big one The future seems increasingly dim Despite these limitations Dottie lives the way she needs to live Without regrets or remorse Without the stain of original sin And facing no other recourse She'll burn it down and build it up again The wind will blow the smoke away She'll dance on our graves on that fine day Dottie Danger, there's none stranger, a mystery to all Don't let them change it, rearrange it, it's not something to be solved They say your rage is one of those phases you will grow out of Well, they can politely fuck right off And I know Dottie Danger don't need these words at all

Used to see her outside the old vets hall Holding court in the parking lot, without a care at all So immaculately messed up, so brutally fine Even though I never looked her in the eyes I knew, we were two of the same kind When Juli & The Painkillers would play She'd say the things you knew, but never knew how to say Underneath all the vitriol she would hurl She was too pure for this world With a righteous noise, a joyous rage You could tell she'd read all the rules, ripped up every page With a wild look in her eyes as she sang Of a brand new dance in our own secret slang We wrapped up in the arms of the same youth gang When Juli & The Painkillers would play The whole world outside could fuck off with no delay In a cardigan and costume pearls She was too cool for this world And now if this town has seemed to grown too straight A little less strange, a little too tame I still hear her voice every now and then Oh, she thought me how to walk like a woman When Juli & The Painkillers would play

about

If it's true that "here and now bites the big one", can anyone blame The Reno Casinos for turning a blind eye to the present? This double-sided digital smash sees the band plant one foot in the past, one foot in the future, and no feet in the now to tell you, dear listener, how it was, and perhaps, how it shall be again.
