I Can Be Vicious Too words and music by Hannah Lee Thompson and Joseph Hixon Terrell There’s a method to your madness Guides to insanity Maps of your temperament Correctional chemistry There’s a science behind your magic Algorithyms to success Secret obligations You’ve always kept to yourself Chorus: You’re not the epitome of chivalry But I can be vicious too You’re not the only one that I can love But right now I’m looking at you I’m no beauty queen riding limosines Because I’ve got better things to do There’s a pattern t o your morals You pick and you chose When to apply them So that you never lose But there’s no method to your misery It has a mind of its own There’s no jaded memory That left you out on your own Chorus 2x

Curbside Rivers, Pothole Lakes Words and Music by Hannah Lee Thompson All I can see is the pouring rain Over curbside rivers and pothole lakes Taking over my native street Clogging my drain and soaking my feet All I can hear is the steady drip Of my window imitating my sink My floor is at its highest tide There’s more water in here than there is outside Chorus I played by the odds They got beat, I got lost In curbside rivers and pothole lakes All I know is the boy crying wolf As he tries to show that hes foolproof But his melody will be earased By one that’s going to resonate All my bones are out of line My neck, my back, my creaking spine Nothing I hear is making sense I’m in a state of mind that won’t relent Chorus

Speed Demon 04:22
Speed Demon Words and Music by Hannah Thompson and Joseph Terrell There’s an unnatural haze That crowded my brain And it’s taken you father away There’s artificial light As I open my eyes I’m watching your mistakes Chorus: I’m no speed demon I can’t keep up I’m no speed demon We’re out of luck There’s a probable cause If you break any laws You’re not gonna look back Cause you run so fast And you’re too hard to catch And I am falling back Chorus We got a good break In the seventh grade When you walked into my class Accident prone Vacations alone While we lost our baby fat Chorus x2

Stabs in the Dark Words and music by Hannah Lee Thompson and Joseph Hixon Terrell. Dreaming lucid, I’m halfway to reality I’m just sitting around hoping My dreams can follow me My hands are heavy, my hands are numb and dull I’m just sitting around hoping They’ll catch me when I fall Chorus: I’ve been taking stabs in the dark I went swimming with the sharks All in the comfort of my own head I walked leopards on a leash I rode whales on to the beach All in the comfort of my own bed I’m not going anywhere relevant At least not yet Given all that you’ve said Look to the east and to the west Sooner or later Everyone you see will be dead Chorus I am not ungrateful, I don’t want to sound ungrateful (x2) But if you ask me where I’ll be in ten years I’d say anywhere that isn’t here Because there is no better way to waste my mind Then to sit here, killing out time I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am not ungrateful (x2) Slowly the coins drain from the bank Slowly the water Empties out of the tank I’ve got precious few words left to say Every time I spreak I watch them float away Chorus

You Just Can’t Revive Words and Music by Hannah Lee Thompson and Joseph Hixon Terrell Sometimes you grimace when you grin Like I don’t know the shape your in And there’s nothing I can do to make it better Until you let me inside The corners of your mind And I begin to feel a little bit better Chorus: A lucky life’s an eye for an eye The bad ones you just can’t revive But I found comfort cause I know You’ll come with me when I go someplace I won’t return from Home is where my heart is The alleyways I darted Things I can’t take part in anymore It’s such a high cost of living For a lowlife like myself All the bottom feeders are the last ones on the shelf But Brooklyn is too beautiful to spend all day in bed Get out of the covers and shake The cobwebs off your head Chorus Autumn leaves have fallen It’s clear that the fall’s been done in Rest yourself before you come extinct When daylight is over Before the afternoon begins Don’t you think Chorus But I found comfort cause I know You’ll come with me when I go someplace I won’t return from

about

In early spring, with the Terrell family's move to Alabama looming, The Johannas decided to make an album to mark the end of our brooklyn chapter. After 3 years of sitting around jamming, we were in uncharted territory. Hannah's bedroom was converted to a studio with the help of Max Epstein. We tricked the talented Arthur Dorrington into producing and mixing every track. Somehow, we managed to get everything done one day before Joe's departure. We will be reunited it Alabama for 5 weeks this fall and we plan on recording a second album! Hopefully, the funds we receive from Crow by Day will help us a great deal with aquiring the equipment we need to make this possible. More than anything, we want y'all to listen and enjoy!

about

The Johannas Alabama

At first, they were just hannah and joe. It was fall 2009. Joe wore his bell bottoms everyday, and hannah cried each week during one tree hill. Blame it on their youth. They met that winter. Bonding ensued over 3 course meals served by the fantastic Anna Terrell and a close call with angry hooligans who chased them home. It was only a matter of time before joe and hannah became The Johannas. ... more
