Curse the day, I'm cursing
All the way and back again
In to town to meet my maker
4 feet tall and full of sin
Feeling like I'm no ones monster
I lift him up, get my revenge
Now I'm free, but I feel your revelry

I can't shake it off, I can't shake it
All these feelings in my head
I want silence, no more anger
I wish I was God instead
Was he afraid of his own image
I don't care what the good book says
Now I'm free, but I feel your revelry

And I saw her through the ashes
Face is white, spirit self
Could she be my perfect monster
Together we rule this hell
Now I'm afraid, I'm afraid
And I will dance, revelry
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
And I will dance, revelry
I will see the light through the clouds
Out in the corner, ghostly scare
Radiate this place, I will dance
Stand alone, last all morning
First to leave this place
I will dance, revelry

I was just coming here to say the same thing. I freakin' LOVE The Replacements. I wish I could have seen them back in the day.

In this context it means self-titled, as in the band's name is the same as the album/CD

{#Yes}   If you see a Sea Ray (boat) coming, you better batten down the hatches, 'cuz a huge wake will be coming your way. They are the SUV's of the water. So this is an unfortunate name for a band.

Besides some sequences are worth keeping...I know I've found one when I end up printing out the play list to mimic it on a tape or the ipod I wish I had.

(sigh) I love SeaRay. "Stars at Noon" was one of the better albums I've run across in the last few years. It's unfortunate that they threw in the towel a couple years ago. Someone mentioned that they sounded like The Church. They actually opened for The Church on their "Forget Yourself" tour. That's how I stumbled across them. Actually missed their opening performance after hearing good things about them, but was able to catch them headlining at a little bar. Phenomenal performance.

Is this the same band that does the opening song in Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine'? It sounds very similar.

I totally agree, although to be fair some people are fairly new to RP and maybe are still enchanted by its magical vortex. Oh wait, so am I.
