"Step Down" by the Cavedogs

From their album "Joy Rides For Shut-Ins", these guys are awesome! What is worse than drag racing video with no music? Lots! But this tape from New England Dragway from 2002 is much better with the sounds of the Cavedogs.

You're so alarmed by every twist, the pain
again how they let you down
Routinely scarred by the world
its scenes obscene soberly push you around
Your decorated lace innocence is so profound
Just keep an eye out from behind it
so they'll notice you're still around
So you go to your friends and they love to
look inside of you
You're as sweet as you can be - Step Down, you're through

You talk aloud behind the doors and backs
of people whose help you've found
Parading, always trading privileged words
that help you to win the crowd
Easy to light up a silouette with quotes too loud
They'll realize when all complaints have dried
that you'd never sell them out
Cause you know they're your friends and they love you
look inside it's true
You're as sweet as you can be - Step Down, you're through

With an extreme amount of candor
You'd be lost but very good
And in between responsibilities
You could rule the neighborhood
But your scheming isn't stood
Still you scream - but not at me
(scream)

Don't dry your eyes to proudly wear the proof
that suddenly I've let you down
(I don't wanna go unless you let me)
Another reason for you not to live
just stay home and kick around
(I don't wanna know until you tell me)
Just one more slap to your innocence - it all compounds
So while you're struggling from beneath
make sure they don't catch you looking down
(I don't wanna know unless you let me)
Then you tell all your friends it's the last time
but they know more than you
You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

Broke up, did different things, had an ersatz reunion with one of their biggest fans, actor and comedian (also from Emerson College in Boston MA) David Cross.

Saw them play a dive bar in Syracuse, NY opening for Mojo Nixon sometime around 1991. They absolutely killed it and I became a fan that night. One of the best live bands I'd ever heard.

I bought their two CDs. Joyride For Shut Ins & Soul Martini. Whatever happened to them?

Dude! What about the Jam? What about the Smithereens. I'll admit, I love the Cavedogs, but best of all Rick bands?
