lyrics

Bored in South Austin on a Friday night,
So I went into a liquor store.
Searched through the bottles and cans
Until i put my hands upon the key to the devil's door.
She was just standing there
Just a twisting her hair so I decided to buy one more.
You don't need much money with that paper bag honey
to get up and housed and end up on the floor.

Hindsight's 20/20
But it's a Mad Dog night tonight.
I'd never kiss and tell about this cheap motel
But not because I'm doing you right.
She don't know the regret I'll know
When I wake up to the morning light.
Mad Dog 20/20, oh you ain't never done me right.

We were out on tour in a city du jour
But we didn't have a show that night.
So I just stayed in my room
With my spite and my gloom and the MD 20/20 on ice.
The girl I'd tried to ignore found her way to my door
But now I saw her in a different light.
I think I told her to stay, I think she had me her way
If my repressed memory is serving me right.

Hindsight's 20/20
But it's a Mad Dog night tonight.
I'd never kiss and tell about this cheap motel
But not because I'm doing you right.
She don't know the regret I'll know
When I wake up to the morning light.
Mad Dog 20/20, oh you ain't never done me right.

You get what you pay for.
No, it ain't no good.
But can I live with myself.
Not if I can, but if I should...

This is not meant as a story of glory
Of debauchery and sleaze at its prime.
It's a cautionary tale for those unaware
And for those who wanna give it a try.
Do drink your whiskey and beer even straight everclear
And it might just do you in over time.
But even that ain't as real as the shame that you'll feel
After your long dark dance with a fortified wine.

Hindsight's 20/20
But it's a Mad Dog night tonight.
I'd never kiss and tell about this cheap motel
But not because I'm doing you right.
She don't know the regret I'll know
When I wake up to the morning light.
Mad Dog 20/20, oh you ain't never done me right.

about

New Disaster Austin, Texas

Rock-n-roll is about to get blasted by a fabulous New Disaster and the misfits behind the trigger make no apologies for the wreckage.
Exploding from the rubble of some of Austin, TX's most promising young bands, New Disaster arrived in 2005 like a hell bound locomotive from the wrong side of the tracks.

Pure Rock and Roll. Straight up. Because no one really wants to play around.
