lyrics
We’ll pick it apart in kind to nail you
And to make sure you’ll be tossed
This time we know for certain
No tripped alarm, no one to save you
Gonna take turns killing you off
Or driving you to jail
We’ll sweep you under
Apply the grip
Provide the documents
And watch you read the script
Complain to no one
Who’s listening in?
Comply with all of it
Exactly like we did
Gimme the concentrate
No time to water it down for the middle
Let it dissolve my faith in these
Will the pedantic pace
And fees involved combine in remittal
Will it absolve your ways and means?
Twelve years have gotten you feeling dramatic
Did you get your point across?
You tried to draw the curtains
What tipped you off
Was it our regalia?
Was it how we fenced you in?
With no more leading trails
Your own conundrum
Our wily wit
No sleight of confidence
If that’s what reels you in
You’re safe from everyone
You pledge to win
I’m tired of all of this
It makes no fucking sense
Gimme the concentrate
No time to water it down for the middle
Let it dissolve my faith in these
Will the romantic stage
Of thieves in love deny your acquittal?
Will it absolve your ways and means?
Gimme the concentrate
No time to water it down just a little
Let it dissolve my faith in this
For every plan you make
That veers towards divine inhalation
Gimme a God who’ll plead the fifth

KC Bowman has a whole slew of bands and they are all great.

and probably more.
Anything by him is worth checking if not owning. A true musical whiz with seemingly infinite hook-filled melodies and killer songs. Start anywhere and this is a good one. Jennifer Jupiter

The songs on this new album are either smooth but tight or rock your world. Above and Beyond their already outstanding sound, "Take out the Poison" will enter your inner being with songs that penetrate your soul through lyrics and music that are uniquely their own. These songs are the most diverse yet similar from their other albums. Listen to their songs they are awesome. The Bye Bye Blackbirds continue to exude their special sound of infinite talent. They have done it again and I believe always will; as if there was ever any doubt about these gifted musicians. Rock on Gentlemen! "Take out the Poison" is a winner ! I am me
