about

"Lockjaw" is the closing track off "Erstwhile", and I think it fits the role. It's upbeat, driving, and punchy. I wanted something energetic and funky with some rock 'n roll thrown in the mix, something people could really move to. For me, what makes this song really pop is the saxophone parts played by George Boulos. The organ underneath everything is also very integral, as it brings out that 70's soul rock vibe. Vocal/lyrics duties are shared with my good buddy and former bandmate, Trevor Zinn.

lyrics

I got a lockjaw mama who keeps her cool
And she don't even know my name
She pick me up for a ride then kick me off on the side
Of the tracks of an oncoming train
See, I been trying to get back to where I was
Tracing my steps on a trail of blood
Dripping off of your lips on the cusp of a kiss
That you cursed on the tip of your tongue

Yeah I'm on a roll, stay in the groove, break in my soul, I need another reaction
I'm gonna fold, nothing to lose, paying the toll so I can kick it all night, yeah

It's getting lonely at the end of this bar
It's getting lonely by the end of this drink
And I, I never thought it would get this far
Falling down into this lonely mans' dream
And then it kicks in, got a broken heart
Cuz I'm living this life for too long
She got me running all over town
It's time to break loose, it's time to get down

Yeah I'm on a roll, stay in the groove, break in my soul, I need another reaction
I'm gonna fold, nothing to lose, paying the toll so I can kick it all night, yeah
Caught in the cold, wait for the cue, tell what I'm told, I need a little more action
Bury the dead, cover the hole, pay my respects and pray to God for your soul
