All the Teenagers

Whatever breaks you down
Whatever shakes your bones
and hides em so they can't be found
Whatever takes you by the ear
and turns you round and around
I'll be your one man band
without makin a sound
And every angel that
was sprawled out on the floor
All the teenagers screamin’ out for more and more
So what you waitin for?
Whatever breaks you down
Whatever keeps you sane
Whatever makes it so
that I can see you through it again
I'm just a fool who'd like
to take a year to silence my brain
I'll be your Huckleberry
and I'll sing in the rain
And every angel that
was sprawled out on the floor
All the teenagers screamin' out for more and more
I'll be your stranger
if you walk me to the door
So what you waitin for?
Come on and tell me more, more, more
And every angel that
was sprawled out on the floor
All the teenagers screamin’ out for more and more
I’ll be your stranger
if you walk me to the door
But there’s no danger
if you want me any more
So what you waitin for?
Come on and give me more, more, more
More, more, more
More, more, more

Dream with me
Of islands in the sea
They're not exactly what you think
And they might be on the brink
Of anarchy
So now it's time
For leaving
We knew this day would pass
And though all our hearts are grieving
You know I must go on believing
If you don't go you never can come back
We've been through limbo
But not hell
Just long enough
For us to tell
That these stories we've written
Might not sell
If we stay in the hour of fond farewell
And for the longest time I hated
How your loss cut like a knife
But in letters clearly stated
Neither postmarked, sent, nor dated
That I need you back here in my life
We've been through limbo
But not hell
Just long enough
For us to tell
That these stories we've written
Might not sell
If we stay in the hour of fond farewell
The hour of fond farewell
The hour of fond farewell

Backtrack

You're gettin feisty now
For all the appropriate little reasons
But I just won't give up hope on you
You've got such sycophants
In elephants this tourist season
But your pachyderms' memories won't do
This idealization won't fade
But my sick fascination
Is retrograde
Because
You're gonna backtrack
Gonna backtrack
Back to me
Said you better watch that
You better watch that your
Your tone
Your tone with me
My doctor told me,
"Stop overanalyzing
all your heartbeats."
I told him, "I know,"
But I'm not sure
It's such a drag to dwell on
every single little side street
But I sense that it might be half the cure
This idealization won't fade
But my sick fascination is retrograde
Because
You're gonna backtrack
You're gonna backtrack
Back to me
You better watch that
You better watch that Your
Your tone with me
Your tone with me
I'm moving back to the city
Cuz that's where I belong
But it's not nearly so pretty
To warrant a love song
This idealization won't fade
But my sick fascination
Is retrograde
Because
You're gonna backtrack
You're gonna backtrack
Back to me
You better watch that
You better watch that
Your
Your tone
Repeat chorus
Your tone with me (outro)

Sleepwalkers
03:40

We are
wasting waterfalls
We are
scared to death
I passed out
in the blaring moonshine
I’m in over my head
But if we creep past quietly
we’ll keep away from daylight
And since we’re not sleepwalkers really
they’ll see our opened eyes
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
You told me
I was something special
You get me every time
What’s wrong with needing affirmation?
Oh right -
it spoils the rhyme
And if your heart
mistakes this thunder
for something more discreet
I’ll wreak and rend
your love asunder
until I am complete
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
This darkness
makes me feel so cheesy
like I was still a small child
And you don’t care about
old movies
Thought black and white’s
your new style
But if we creep past quietly
we’ll keep away from daylight
And since we’re not sleepwalkers really
they’ll see our opened eyes
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
So just pass me by

Tous Les Ados

Quand tu te décourages
Quand ta la chair de poule et l’inquiétude
Forme au fond de toi
Quand la musique te prend
Et ça te fait tourner en rond
Je chanterai pour toi
Même si tu m’entends pas
Et tous les anges qui
s’étendent partout au sol
Et tous les ados qui gueulent encore plus fort
Mais entends-tu les voix?
Quand tu te décourages
Quand t’as l‘esprit mal sain
Lorsque la voie est longue
Je serai là pour te donner une main
Je partirai très loin
Un ans ou plus pour changer ma peau
Je s’rai ton ange gardien
Tout en chantant de même
Que tous les anges qui
s’étendent partout au sol
Que tous les ados qui gueulent encore plus fort
Je suis une inconnue
Qui cogne à ta porte
Mais tu ne réponds plus?
J’attends encore en-core
Et tous les anges qui
s’étendent partout au sol
Et tous les ados qui gueulent encore plus fort
Je suis une inconnue
Qui cogne à ta porte
Mais je serai la si tu prétends m’aimer encore
Mais tu ne réponds plus?
J’attends encore en-core

Alter Egos Montréal, Québec
Alter Egos formed when Andrew heard the demos that Rob had recorded while living on an island off the coast of West Africa. Old pals from the infamous "Poutine Circuit", the dynamic duo decided it wise to form a hot new teen combo. The band is now poised to bring their smooth adult contemporary and tiki-infused sounds to the bowling alleys and seedy cocktail lounges of North America. ... more
