lyrics

Businessman, pinstriped suit
Briefcase never leaves his hand
Family man, he's a well provider
Business trips, he's a bullshit lire

Steep hill, but he's quick to climb
He thought he had it under control
Now it's just a matter of time
Just watch it as it all unfolds

Quick rise to power, and a snowblind decent
Twenty-four-seven happy hour
But it won't take long, til the money's all gone
And then he'll have nothin left

Steep hill, but he's quick to climb
He thought he had it under control
And now it's just a matter of time
Just watch it as it all unfolds

It starts with, shifty eyes and a runny nose
But still he's got his alibis
But soon it's, sunken eyes and a bloody nose
Whisky rotten, spitting lies

Steep hill, but he's quick to climb
He thought he had it under control
Now it's just a matter of time
Just watch it as it all unfolds

Big shot brought down by his own medicine
And now he lives out on the streets
Businessman, in a pinstriped suit
Beggin for the fix he needs

Steep hill, but he's quick to climb
He thought he had it under control
Now it's just a matter of time
Just watch it as it all unfolds
He thought he had it under control

The Electric Grub Sydney, Nova Scotia

It's the smell in the air, the taste in your mouth, and the chill down your spine. The menacing soundtrack to your own form of debauchery. Deeply rooted in the industrial wasteland of Sydney, NS, emerged from the tar ponds: The Electric Grub. This revolving door of musicians resembles a dysfunctional family circus that comes from the twisted imaginations of Travis Morrison and Chuck Knott. ... more
