Blood Gulch Blues
02:24
|

Roses are red
And violets are blue.
One day we'll cruise down
Blood Gulch avenue
It's red versus red
and blue versus blue
It's I against I
and me against you
Violets are blue, roses are red
Living like this we were already dead
Hop in my car
It don't have any doors
It's built like a cat
It lands on all fours
My car's like a puma
It drives on all fours
Red versus red
Blue versus blue

Gun metal green
Prettiest that I've seen
I've nothing to hide
And you've nothing to hide
I'd trust you at the wheel,
Even if we're going down
Our love is made of steel
Last us 'til the underground
Steady and surreal,
In a world of lost and found
Took out the trash
Paid my bills all in cash
Nothing to hide
And it's summer outside
I'd trust you at the wheel,
Even if we're going down
Our love is made of steel
Last us til the underground
Steady and surreal,
In a world of lost and found
Trust you at the wheel,
Know you'll keep us safe and sound
We don't need a key
We were already free
Cruising along
To a mexican song

Spiritual

Jesus, I'm a broken man...
Can you make me whole again?
Jesus, I'm a broken toy...
Can you make me whole again?
Can you make me
Can you make me whole again?
Jesus, people play with me
They toy with me
Yeah, they mess with me
Jesus, make me whole again
Can you undo what's undone?
Can you make my
Can you make my soul again?

No One

Where is the one
Who will mourn me when I'm gone
Who will pour water on my bed of dirt
Who will breathe fire on my neck at night
I heard someone say
There's a chance that I will meet her
I could be perse-
phone and she demeter
To pull me from the underground that I call home
Her name is no one...
She blinds me with her eyes 'cause she's
The one, the one
She lives somewhere not here...
My lovers are as smooth
As a politician's tongue
The more I look for goodness
The more that I find none
I heard someone say,
That she's honest and good...
Her name is no one no one no one...
I measure out my days
With sips of a Corona
I'm pretty sure she drives
An old fucked up Corolla
To pull me from the underground
That I call home
I've a funny feeling
There's no chance that I will meet her
so I'll measure out my nights
To my metronome's meter

Funny Farm
05:09
|
|||
I was once, underground
07 years without a sound
Ten Shadow Punch
In my arm
Leads me to the funny farm...
I'm a rogue, samurai
Devil spins me and I fly
Kicking far, kicking wide
It's the secret that I hide...
Rise, and shine
Burn, and glow
Rise, and shine
Here, I go

A Girl Named Tex
03:27
|
|||
Have you heard the story of
A girl named Beth, now known as Tex
Her life's tale is a bloody trail
Her name fits like a glove
Her daddy sighed as she slammed the door
She'd said to him I'm Beth no more
My life's dream is to kill for green
But first I'll join the Corps
Her daddy said, you're just a girl
What makes you think that you won't sink
My name is Tex and I'm like a hex
My playground is the world
Basic turned her gun to gold
Soon had it made, she'd hit by trade
Amassing kills, she proved her skills
Make your blood run cold
I once saw texas at a bar
Sippin rye, with some apple pie
With a distant stare, like she didn't care
She said what's with the guitar
I must admit my lips went numb
Some butter bar said, his face all red
She's too good, you're driftin wood
Said boy you'd better run
Texas said sir keep your peace
My heart is free, and so is he
I'll give it to, any man who's true
The safeties were released
He drew before he replied
But Tex was hot, and he was not
He lay dead, While texas bled
Crimson on her side
Yellow of rose of Texas clad in black
Lonely star tattooed upon her back
Double Tex, she'll hit you like a truck
Double Tex and she'll mess you up
Texas said
This could be my last I guess
I gotta go, and now you know
I want a song, to live for long
It's a fair request
Texas made it out I heard
But her one need, I did heed
I think of Beth, while mocking death
Like a mocking bird

Space Invader
03:31
|
|||
It's time for you to know
Call this an early warning
My late resignation
It seems all systems are go
for this emergency transmission
3....2....1.....zero
You are like a Space Invader
You crippled all my cities
To waste and desolation
You are like a Space Invader
And by your own admission
You're a human hater
This game is over...
All of the words that you said, were a lie, Invader
Coming down

(617)
03:32
|
|||
213 girls talk too much
And 212 boys not enough
312s are very bold
Man 206 gets way too cold
Doing shots I'm all alone
I slur my words after the tone
And I drink and I call...
I can't stand to be alone...
Save me on the telephone.
419s they hate the phone
And 208s are never home
And all my lovers they have voice mail
They call me back, they give me hell!
And I drink and I call...
I've dialed the numbers, dialed them all
But nothing beats, a local call
617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm
617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm

Superhero
03:33
|
|||
True American love,
Is like a green Coke bottle
They don't make it anymore
Part of me died back in '64...
I want to be a superhero
I've got a mask I've got a name
Your days calling me freak are numbered
Don't bother with surrender
We were so wrong
All dressed up, with somewhere to go
We wanted to do right, but
The costume fits just a little too tight...
I want to be a superhero
(I want to be a superwoman)
I don't have any super-powers
(I'll hang out with my super girlfriends)
I want to be a superhero, I don't need any super...
(Talk about our days)
I'm gonna be a superhero
I don't need (have) any super-powers
Your days calling me freak are numbered
(and pushing me around, well)
My broken heart's a super-power
(they're over, they're over, over)

Vale Deah
03:00
|

I somehow knew you were there
Lookin' like you didn't care
I reached for the change in my pocket
I counted the change in my pocket
I wanted to buy you a beer
I somehow knew you were near
The bartender said it's okay

All As One
04:09
|
|||
With my games, and your games
And the rules we hate the same
And my breath, and your breath
As I hear you call my name
Like two parts, face to face
And the whole, falls into place
All as one...
With my dad, and your dad
And the gin, they never had
And my rules, and your rules
And your heart, and mine it cools
Beating hard...
Follow the truth, follow the lies
Nobody wins, everything dies...
With your art, and my art
To instigate, a change of heart
And your heart, and your mind
And your body, next to mine

Half Life
04:38
|
|||
In love, in need, in want, in miss
I taste your bite, I taste your kiss
And I think back, the things you said
They make me mad, a bull to red
And I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you wore
And I'm lost inside a bar
And I'm drunk inside a war...
Drinking Martinis by myself
On a Sunday
Drinking Martinis again
On a Monday
It's a half life...
I buy your brand, I smoke your brand
I count the what ifs on one hand...
Drinking Martinis alone
Sunday morning
Drinking Martinis again
Sunday evening

Trocadero Seattle, Washington
Once called “space cowboy music,” Trocadero started in 1998 as a trio (baritone guitar / synths / drums + male / female
vocals), and gained recognition for soundtracking 17 seasons of Red vs Blue across ten albums for nearly two decades.
“Whenever I hear a new song from Trocadero,” wrote one fan, “it makes me feel nostalgic for something I have yet to experience.”
