We were strangers and thieves
Leaving tags and graffiti smoke screens
Stealing candy from arcades
What the hell we were only fifteen
Walk on from a place we never came from
Walk on and listen to no one
I been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
Looking back on a fanzine, from warehouse wars to bedroom communities
Burning down the arcade, urban gardens and homesick holidays
Walk on from a place we never came from
Walk on and answer to no one
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
We were strangers and thieves
Dancing in the house of conspiracy
We were nervous energy
Suburban noise and tenement pipe dreams
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
I been thinking bout you lately
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
Robbin’ banks in America, robbin’ banks in American time

I'm on a helicopter ride through Vietnam. I'm the Leicester Square
Kid I'm superman. I'm putting weight for the Oscar. Man gonna
Get through anyway I can. Everywhere everyone is red and green.
I gotta lust for glory and a tape machine. I'm living out Frank
Coppola's dreams. Outta my mind I'm feelin' mean. I'm Nuremberg
Stepper blowin' wets away. I gotta headful of Hendrix, I'm feelin'
OK. I'm a late night thriller, I'm miss La Ray. Outta my mind
Can I come to play?
Hey hey hey we're in the movie. I feel up and I feel groovy.
Let's go out and get some of that. Gimme gimme gimme some Russian
Roulette. La la la.... I said hey.

Steve Conte masterfully marries late 70's rock and early punk. Melodic and soulful with a pinch of personal pain. If there's anyone who's keeping the heartbeat of rock n' roll steady and stout, it's Steve Conte! Superb jamz! Thanx! Your loyal fan, Kainoa
