Nocturno Hayes

Lyrics

(Words by: Anthony J. Maldonado; Music by: Danny Maldonado)

I don't know what to do with you
You talk so loud, nothing's getting through,
Would you mind... turning down the volume?

I don't know why you waste your time
Hanging with folks that twist your mind,
I'll come back... when you turn down the volume.

You're trying my patience,
Standing there, with your nose up in the air.
You're knocking my confidence
With your dumb remarks, suggesting no one cares.
You drain my reserves,
I deserve a reward for putting up with you.
You rattle my nerves
And that's not the smartest thing to do.

Media makes a living off of bringing me down
I really don't need this, kill the sound
I've had it up to here, so I'm turning down the volume.

Quadrophonic vibes knock me off my seat
You've got that thing cranked so I can't hear you speak,
Would you mind... turning down the volume?

You're trying my patience,
Putting things in my head, and I don't want them there.
You're shaking my confidence
In everyone else and I hardly think that's fair.
You drain my reserves,
I might just collapse and now you must go.
You rattle my nerves
And I don't want my head to explode.

There's nothing wrong with me,
Just a blown out circuit
When painting the sky,
The result is always perfect.

Turning my head
Means missing half the picture.
You can hang at the bar,
Feel out the texture.

Take in the stars above
For soon they'll be...
Turning down the volume.
Suck in all the nectar
'Cause soon they'll be...
Turning down the volume.
These seats are taken...
No matter... Soon they'll be...
Turning down the volume.
Don't forget to
Clean out the ashtrays
'Cause soon they'll be...
Turning down the volume.
You had your chance
But now I'm turning off the volume.
