Debut (free) 03:58
Close your eyes and take a breath Cross my fingers, I'm a wreck All along I've been amused Have a drink and sing the blues How much longer will it take? Don't you know what is at stake? Guess there's nothing left to say 1, 2, 3, take it away, running through Our debut will shock and awe Knock 'em dead, they're so bourgeois Saw our names on the marquee Played our songs on MTV Our debut is fine and grand Off your seats and lend a hand Buy our CD, wear our shirts To the streets and spread the word Selling out for a review 'cause recognition's overdue Why do I feel so ashamed Have a smoke and pass the blame People see me in the streets Walk right by still incomplete What on earth is this delay? Don't you know it ends today? Deja vu... Our debut will shock and awe Knock 'em dead, they're so bourgeois Saw our names on the marquee Played our songs on MTV Our debut is fine and grand Off your seats and lend a hand Buy our CD, wear our shirts To the streets and spread the word How come no one told me They're just poking fun? You cannot control me This has just begun Our debut will shock and awe Knock 'em dead, they're so bourgeois Saw our names on the marquee Played our songs on MTV Our debut will shock and awe Knock 'em dead, they're so bourgeois Saw our names on the marquee Played our songs on, 1, 2, 3! Our debut was fine and grand You left your seats and lent a hand Bought our CD, wore our shirts Something else is so absurd

What is the method to your madness? What is the reason for your heartbreak? How do you live with all that self-deception? Drop out the deadbolt, I'm coming in... I love your Modus Operandi Leaves me shaking deep within I love your dirty satisfaction The way you murder with a grin What is the purpose of your runaway? What is the reason for your heartache? How do you live with all that crazed frustration? Break out the High Life, I'm coming in... I love your Modus Operandi Leaves me shaking deep within I love your dirty satisfaction The way you murder with a grin What is the method to your madness? What is the reason for your heartbreak? How do you live with all that crazed frustration? Break off the deadbolt, I'm coming in... I love your Modus Operandi Leaves me shaking deep within I love your dirty satisfaction The way you murder with a grin

Travelsong 02:40
I look out my window At a small piece of the world I see a road I can travel Everywhere is a battlefield Everywhere I am I see a road I can travel Anger I shall not want Happiness will find me...
4.
White Whine 04:04
I have told you once or twice that white wine Will bring you everything you want in good time...
5.
City Night 04:18
Another wish is just another broken dream The stars are crying for your lacking self esteem A wave of silence sweeps the city off its feet Under the starless skies above the leafless trees Breathe right in, smell the city night You can gaze into the neon light But I'm the pill... That will take this pain away from here tonight
6.
What is love next to self-preservation? Or even compassion, my own reservations?
7.
Would you dance on the moors in the pale moonlight? Bet that'd make you feel alright Don't you come cryin' tears around my door I don't need your lovin' anymore It's a shame Crying, crying shame
8.
Seventh Hour 04:01
Close all the tired eyes that are weakened by the sun You've come to feel the warmth of a million fired guns

Savannah 04:45
Run and do not stop Till the sun begins to rise Where there is no trace of dark Only light fills the sky I will meet you there Plainly dressed in my vest With two tickets out of state You're my love, I am blessed I'll wait for happiness Till my heart no longer feels any pain I've waited long enough Oh, Savannah won't you take me away? Walk along the shore Feel the water at our feet Taste your tender lips Smell the misty breeze Dream of what's in store On the path that lies ahead Stare up at the stars And fall asleep in our beds I'll wait for happiness Till my heart no longer feels any pain I've waited long enough Oh, Savannah won't you take me away? Think of what went wrong All our sins and ignorance Dwelling on the past When I courted your romance Was it really me Who let you walk away? All I hope for now Is to see your face one day I'll wait for happiness Till my heart no longer feels any pain I've waited long enough Oh, Savannah won't you take me away?

An early evening drunk once said to me I knew a saint way back in '63 She had a message to spread Gave up her things, and shaved her head She wandered through these dirty streets Preaching good will to all that she would meet And yet she lived in sadness She had her method and her madness She must be a saint She must be a martyr An angel of mercy till the end The saint, and the martyr, saving souls... Fueled by the public's insanity Denouncing conveniences and vanity She removed herself from modern living Dreamt of a barren landscape cold and unforgiving She must be a saint She must be a martyr An angel of mercy till the end The saint, and the martyr, saving souls... She sought to tell the tale of her own death Neither to shock or awe nor impress She set the stage in Union Square Dragging the crowds into her own despair She must be a saint She must be a martyr An angel of mercy till the end The saint, and the martyr, saving souls... She must be a saint She will take us farther Start another chapter of our lives The saint, and the martyr, saving souls...

Duster 06:02
Step into the light Burning blister bright Can you feel me near? Your kiss was so sincere Duster's come to town Leather's rough and brown Boots kick up the sand This is no man's land, and... All we want is our fair share A quiet place to rest our bones Trains will run, and we will hide From dusters, standing side by side Shots ring out, your family falls It's cowardly, their curtain call Preachers cry, and bagpipes sing You're not there to do a thing Fall down to your knees Not what you believe Someone else's greed Duster's tumbleweed Grab my gun, and stand up tall While exiting the entrance hall I bow my head, but show no shame I give myself for family name Ashes ashes, falling down From trouble in this one-horse town Duster now, your time has come The price you pay for rule of thumb Weigh your heart upon the scale You'll be damned without a fail Progress paid with the blood from your first born son This is how the west was won...

Salutations 05:06
Heaven help me, I'm a sinner Just the winner of the game Salutations to the unknown The introduction never stuck Lord please help me, I'm a trickster I survived through sabotage Salutations to the alpha A deception changed my luck I don't wanna set the world aflame Play the part of someone to blame Don't admit but you play my game Pleased to meet you, Scapegoat's the name Devil help me, I'm a killer Destroying lives and common sense Salutations to the scoundrel Murder is a work of art I don't wanna set the world aflame Play the part of someone to blame Don't admit but you play my game Pleased to meet you, Scapegoat's the name As I'm walking to and fro, I fell into a sinkhole I fall in as I'm shouting for someone Salutations to my deliverance If I die before I fall, I pray the lord will take it all In the sink from kitchen sinks, at least I think Salutations to my divinity Coffee, tea and jamboree, cigarettes and whiskey Oyster forks and popping corks and blah blah blah... Salutations to celebrations Now it's time to bid farewell as I lie into a pit of hell Sinners, Tricksters, Killers and Saints Leave to you the world's complaints Salutations to the scapegoat...

about

Asphalt Green Paramus, New Jersey

In late 2009, four individuals from four different musical backgrounds came together in what many people saw as a pathetic attempt at a creative endeavor. Those naysayers were quickly silenced by a sound that has been described as "frightening"...

Asphalt Green fuses blues, rock, jazz, and alternative into a concoction of pure ecstasy. Sinners, Tricksters, Killers & Saints is their first album.
